What's the lead time?

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

Do you train outdoors year-round in Cove Bay?

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

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 deliver telehandler on-site in Cove Bay?

Yes — we travel to your yard or site in Cove Bay, around 34 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base. On-site delivery means the assessment is on your kit, not a generic test ground.

How often is refresher training required?

Refresher cycles typically run every 3 years, sooner if a near-miss, machine change or audit finding triggers it.

Why teams in Cove Bay book this

Audit findings this prevents

Operating outside the load chart because the boom angle was eyeballed
Forgetting that a man-cage requires a thorough examination every 6 months, not 12
Pulling away with a raised load on uneven ground — the top cause of tip-overs
