Telehandler Training delivered where you work in Aboyne
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited telehandler training on-site across Aboyne (AB34), which is our home base in AB34. We work with estate, civils, agricultural and forestry operators operating around the Deeside corridor and Aboyne Business Park — including teams at Glen Tanar Estate, Aboyne Business Park tenants, Local forestry contractors, and shape each telehandler course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.
The course covers practical telehandler operation and the regulations that apply on your site — including LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998. Aboyne and the upper Dee mean single-track access, sloping gravel yards and frequent estate gates — operators need extra time on slow-speed control, attachment changes and travelling with raised loads. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited telehandler operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire.
Prerequisites: Aged 18+ (16+ for agricultural settings). Basic site induction useful.
Pricing guide: Day rate typically £550–£1,100 depending on machine size and category.

Telehandler Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire sites we've trained on, these are the telehandler findings that come up repeatedly in HSE inspections and principal-contractor audits.
- 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
