Do you deliver mobile crane on-site in Huntly / Strathbogie?

Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Huntly / Strathbogie, around 25 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.

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 train outdoors year-round in Huntly / Strathbogie?

Yes — we plan the day around weather windows. NE Scotland conditions are exactly what your operators face anyway.

What's the lead time?

Most Huntly / Strathbogie bookings go in within 5–10 working days. Audit-deadline cover regularly lands inside a week.

Can you cohort operators with weaker English?

Yes — we adjust pace and use translated handouts where needed. Assessment is competence-based, not language-based.

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

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
