What the course covers

Boom control, load charts and stability
Attachment changes and lifting accessories
Travel with raised loads and uneven ground handling

Certification: Accredited telehandler operator certificate. Regs: LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998.

Typical telehandler scenarios on Inverurie / Thainstone sites

Scenario 1
Lifting palletised blockwork to first-lift scaffold on a sloping plot
Scenario 2
Swapping bucket → forks → man-cage and re-checking the LOLER record
Scenario 3
Tele-handling round livestock or farm pedestrians without segregation

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

Why this matters

30%

of UK construction plant fatalities involve telehandlers or excavators overturning.
