Why teams in Cove Bay book this

Most of the MEWP Training bookings we take from Cove Bay 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.

Cove Bay on the ground: Coastal southern Aberdeen industrial pocket bordering Altens. Typical buildings: small fabrication units, transport depots, marine kit yards.

Typical MEWP scenarios on Cove Bay sites

Scenario 1
Boom-lift work near live overhead lines and the 9 m exclusion rule
Scenario 2
Scissor on a mezzanine where loadings need checking before deployment
Scenario 3
Wind-speed call: 12.5 m/s manufacturer limit vs the day's gust forecast

Audit findings this prevents

No rescue plan on file — IPAF and HSE inspectors ask for this every visit
Harness clipped to the basket rail instead of the manufacturer anchor
Outriggers deployed onto soft ground without a spreader plate
