Mobile Crane Training delivered where you work in Inverurie

Logan Plant Training delivers accredited mobile crane 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 mobile crane course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.

The course covers practical mobile crane operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including LOLER 1998, BS 7121 and PUWER 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 mobile crane operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Aberdeenshire.

Prerequisites: Aged 18+, full medical (D4-style) for category, prior plant experience preferred.
Pricing guide: Course typically £1,200–£3,500 per candidate depending on category.

Mobile Crane Training on Inverurie sites — typical scenarios

These are the situations manufacturing in Aberdeenshire bring us to cover with their mobile crane operators. We work each one through on your own kit, on your own site.

  1. Scenario 1

    Tandem lift planning with two cranes and a single AP

  2. Scenario 2

    Ground bearing pressure check on a yard with unknown made-up fill

  3. Scenario 3

    Lifting over a live road or rail — exclusion zone, banksman positioning

Mobile Crane Training — common audit findings we prevent

From Aberdeenshire sites we've trained on, these are the mobile crane findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.

  • No written lift plan for a 'routine' lift — fails almost every BS 7121 audit
  • Outriggers not fully extended because of yard width — capacity halved silently
  • AP and supervisor roles combined in one person, which BS 7121 prohibits
