Typical mobile crane scenarios on Dyce sites
- Scenario 1
Tandem lift planning with two cranes and a single AP
- Scenario 2
Ground bearing pressure check on a yard with unknown made-up fill
- 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.
