Typical mobile crane scenarios on Dyce sites

  1. Scenario 1

    Tandem lift planning with two cranes and a single AP

  2. Scenario 2

    Ground bearing pressure check on a yard with unknown made-up fill

  3. Scenario 3

    Lifting over a live road or rail — exclusion zone, banksman positioning

Audit findings this prevents

  • No written lift plan for a 'routine' lift — fails almost every BS 7121 audit
  • Outriggers not fully extended because of yard width — capacity halved silently
  • AP and supervisor roles combined in one person, which BS 7121 prohibits

FAQs

Will our Dyce site suit on-site delivery?
Dyce sites are mostly supply-base yards, hangars, modular offices, which suits on-site delivery well — we need a safe practical area, a room or cabin for theory, and access for our vehicle off the A96.
How far do you travel to Dyce?
36 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~55 mins via A93/A944. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in Dyce are still economic for us to run.
What evidence do you return?
Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.
Do you do follow-up observation visits?
Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.
Can you cover night or weekend shifts?
Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.
