Why teams in Kintore book this

Kintore is built on telehandler, and competence paperwork fails an audit faster than people expect. On-site Telehandler Training is how we close that gap without pulling operators off the rota.

Kintore on the ground: AWPR-adjacent commuter and logistics belt with rail revival. Typical buildings: logistics warehouses, rail-adjacent compounds.

Typical telehandler scenarios on Kintore sites

  1. Scenario 1

    Lifting palletised blockwork to first-lift scaffold on a sloping plot

  2. Scenario 2

    Swapping bucket → forks → man-cage and re-checking the LOLER record

  3. 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

FAQs

Do you do follow-up observation visits?
Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.
What evidence do you return?
Photo-ID certificate, assessment record, regulation mapping and refresher-due date. Sent to whichever HR / training system you use.
What if we need to rebook?
We hold dates flexibly. If site conditions change, we move the cohort — there's no rebooking fee for genuine site reasons.
Can you cover night or weekend shifts?
Yes — we routinely cohort sessions around shift handovers and weekend possessions, with no shift premium.
Is telehandler accredited?
Yes — accredited certificates aligned with LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998 are issued to successful candidates.
