Mobile Crane Training in Stonehaven
Accredited, on-site mobile crane training for civils, marine, distribution and agricultural operators across Kincardine, Aberdeenshire.
Mobile Crane Training delivered where you work in Stonehaven
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited mobile crane training on-site across Stonehaven (AB39), about 35 road miles from our Aboyne base (~1 hr via A957). We work with civils, marine, distribution and agricultural operators operating around the Stonehaven harbour and Spurryhillock industrial estate — including teams at Spurryhillock Industrial Estate tenants, Stonehaven Harbour users, Mearns agricultural operators, 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. Coastal gusting at Spurryhillock and the harbour regularly closes MEWP and crane work above mid-spec wind limits — operators here need confident anemometer-based stop-work decisions. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited mobile crane operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Kincardine, 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.
What the course covers

Mobile Crane Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Kincardine, 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
