Why teams in Tullos book this

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

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 MEWP scenarios on Tullos sites

  1. Scenario 1

    Boom-lift work near live overhead lines and the 9 m exclusion rule

  2. Scenario 2

    Scissor on a mezzanine where loadings need checking before deployment

  3. Scenario 3

    Wind-speed call: 12.5 m/s manufacturer limit vs the day's gust forecast

FAQs

What's the lead time?
Most Tullos bookings go in within 5–10 working days. Audit-deadline cover regularly lands inside a week.
Do you train outdoors year-round in Tullos?
Yes — we plan the day around weather windows. NE Scotland conditions are exactly what your operators face anyway.
Will a principal accept this for a construction site?
Yes — the certificate maps to the regs the principal's auditor cites, and we'll talk to the principal's HSE team directly if useful.
Do you deliver MEWP on-site in Tullos?
Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Tullos, around 32 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.
How often is refresher training required?
Refresher cycles typically run every 3 years, sooner if a near-miss, machine change or audit finding triggers it.
