Why teams in Kintore book this

We've delivered Mobile Crane Training across Kintore for 3-year refresher cycle. The pattern is consistent: competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. On-site delivery on your equipment, with refresher cycles planned into your operation, is the cure.

Typical mobile crane scenarios on Kintore 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

Do you do follow-up observation visits?

What evidence do you return?
Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.
What if we need to rebook?
We hold dates flexibly. If site conditions change, we move the cohort — there's no rebooking fee for genuine site reasons.
Can you cover night or weekend shifts?
Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.
Is mobile crane accredited?
Yes — accredited certificates aligned with LOLER 1998, BS 7121 and PUWER 1998 are issued to successful candidates.
