Why teams in Tullos book this

Most of the Banksman Slinger Training bookings we take from Tullos land because of one thing: competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. We run the course on your site, against your equipment, and return paperwork inside the working week.

Tullos on the ground: Older inner-Aberdeen industrial belt converting into mixed energy / logistics. Typical buildings: legacy industrial sheds, regen sites, scrap and recycling yards.

Typical banksman slinger scenarios on Tullos sites

Scenario 1
Blind lift over a building corner with radio comms only
Scenario 2
Multi-leg sling selection for an awkward, off-centre load
Scenario 3
Receiving an HGV-mounted load in a tight yard with foot traffic

Audit findings this prevents

Signals improvised instead of the BS 7121 standard set
Sling WLL chosen on a single-leg basis when the geometry needed derating
Banksman positioned in the load-fall zone to 'get a better view'

Why this matters
