Telehandler Training delivered where you work in Fraserburgh
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited telehandler training on-site across Fraserburgh (AB43), about 60 road miles from our Aboyne base (~1 hr 20 via A90 / A98). We work with fishing, processing, agriculture and distribution operators operating around Fraserburgh Harbour and South Harbour industrial estate — including teams at Fraserburgh Harbour, Lunar Freezing / processors, South Harbour Industrial Estate, 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. Cold-store FLT work in the Broch comes with wet floors, pallet-jack interaction and rapid temperature shifts — courses here lean heavily on traffic discipline, footwear and load-stability awareness. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited telehandler operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Buchan, 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 Buchan, 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
