Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?

Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.

Which regulations does forklift map to here?

PUWER 1998 and HSE L117 Approved Code of Practice. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the construction client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.

How far do you travel to Insch?

27 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~45 mins via A96/B992. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Insch are still economic for us to run.

Will this pass a principal-contractor audit?

The course is built around the evidence auditors actually ask for: operator photo ID, assessment date, regulation mapping and refresher window. We return the pack inside the working week.

What happens if an operator fails?

We re-coach on the spot where possible and re-assess; if the gap is bigger we plan a short repeat block rather than a full re-run.

Why teams in Insch book this

Insch is built on forklift, and competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. On-site Forklift Training is how we close that gap without pulling operators off the rota.

Insch on the ground: Garioch market village with light industrial and rail-served estates. Typical buildings: rail-served estates, agri sheds.
