Forward Tipping Dumper Training delivered where you work in Fraserburgh
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited forward tipping dumper training on-site across Fraserburgh (AB43), about 60 road miles from our Aboyne base (~1 hr 20 via A90 / A98). We work with fishing, processing, agriculture and distribution operators operating around Fraserburgh Harbour and South Harbour industrial estate — including teams at Fraserburgh Harbour, Lunar Freezing / processors, South Harbour Industrial Estate, and shape each forward tipping dumper course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.

Cold-store FLT work in the Broch comes with wet floors, pallet-jack interaction and rapid temperature shifts — courses here lean heavily on traffic discipline, footwear and load-stability awareness. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited dumper operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Buchan, Aberdeenshire.
