MEWP Training in Inverurie
Accredited, on-site MEWP training for manufacturing, distribution, construction and agricultural operators across Aberdeenshire.
MEWP Training delivered where you work in Inverurie
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited MEWP training on-site across Inverurie (AB51), about 28 road miles from our Aboyne base (~45 mins via A944 / A96). We work with manufacturing, distribution, construction and agricultural operators operating around Thainstone and Inverurie's industrial estates — including teams at Thainstone Mart (ANM Group), Burnside Industrial Estate tenants, Blackhall Industrial Estate, and shape each MEWP course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.
The course covers practical MEWP operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998. Thainstone, Burnside and Blackhall estates run high-volume distribution and food manufacturing — racking heights, loading-bay traffic and reach-truck competence are the recurring focus areas. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited mewp operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Aberdeenshire.
Prerequisites: Aged 18+. Suitable for harness use (no medical contraindications).
Pricing guide: Day rate typically £450–£950 per category (1a, 1b, 3a, 3b).

MEWP Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Aberdeenshire sites we've trained on, these are the MEWP findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.
- No rescue plan on file — IPAF and HSE inspectors ask for this every visit
- Harness clipped to the basket rail instead of the manufacturer anchor
- Outriggers deployed onto soft ground without a spreader plate
