Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?

Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.

Will this pass a principal-contractor audit?

The course is built around the evidence auditors actually ask for: operator photo ID, assessment date, regulation mapping and refresher window. We return the pack inside the working week.

What happens if an operator fails?

We re-coach on the spot where possible and re-assess; if the gap is bigger we plan a short repeat block rather than a full re-run.

How long does mobile crane take?

For refresher cohorts most operators clear inside a day; novice candidates need longer. We plan duration around your team's prior experience, not a default course length.

Do you cover sites near Newburgh?

Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.

Typical mobile crane scenarios on Newburgh 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
