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
- Have you worked with sites near Stonehaven yards before?

- Will our Stonehaven yards site suit on-site delivery?
- Stonehaven yards sites are mostly harvest hubs, harbour stores, transport yards, 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 A90.

- It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site teams are usually measured on.
- Is mobile crane accredited?
- Yes — accredited certificates aligned with LOLER 1998, BS 7121 and PUWER 1998 are issued to successful candidates.
