Is mobile crane accredited?

Yes — accredited certificates aligned with LOLER 1998, BS 7121 and PUWER 1998 are issued to successful candidates.

Is this course right for site teams?

It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site teams are usually measured on.

How much does mobile crane cost for a team in Lumphanan?

Day rates for mobile crane typically fall inside the band the course brief lists. Cohort size, novice/refresher split and travel are the main drivers — we send a fixed price, not a day rate × headcount.

Is it worth running a cohort for 1–2 operators?

Yes — small cohorts work in Lumphanan because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.

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.

Why teams in Lumphanan book this

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

Lumphanan on the ground: Mid-Deeside village with forestry and arable mix. Typical buildings: forestry compounds, farm sheds.

Typical mobile crane scenarios on Lumphanan 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
