Telehandler Training delivered where you work in Banchory
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited telehandler training on-site across Banchory (AB31), about 12 road miles from our Aboyne base (~20 mins via A93). We work with construction, distilling, farming and forestry teams operating around the Hill of Fare and Deeside industrial estates — including teams at Hill of Banchory development, Royal Lochnagar (nearby), Local civils & joinery 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. Hill of Banchory housing phases mean live housebuilding alongside occupied homes — traffic plans and pedestrian segregation are scrutinised by both the principal contractor and the local authority. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited telehandler operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire.

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
