Telehandler Training delivered where you work in North-East Scotland
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited telehandler training on-site across North-East Scotland (North-East Scotland). We work with energy, construction, marine, agricultural and distribution operators operating around sites across Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray — including teams at North-East energy supply chain, Speyside distillers, Moray Firth ports, and shape each telehandler course around your equipment, shift patterns and risk profile.

North-East operators routinely move plant between three council areas — we plan cohorts and refreshers so certification windows line up across the whole operation. On completion, successful candidates receive an accredited telehandler operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across North-East Scotland.

Telehandler Training — common audit findings we prevent
From North-East Scotland 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
