Why teams in Kintore book this

Plant operator competence in Kintore is mostly about evidence. Telehandler Training closes the gap between your operators' real-world ability and the certificate the auditor wants to see — without losing the operators for a week off-site.

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

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.

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.
Does local site context change how the day runs?
AWPR-adjacent commuter and logistics belt with rail revival. That shapes the practical: we plan around the traffic, pedestrian flow and access constraints your Kintore operation deals with, instead of a flat training-ground layout.
Which regulations does telehandler map to here?
LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the construction client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.
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.
