Why teams in Inverurie / Thainstone book this

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
