Telehandler Training in Stonehaven
Accredited, on-site telehandler training for civils, marine, distribution and agricultural operators across Kincardine, Aberdeenshire.
Telehandler Training delivered where you work in Stonehaven
Logan Plant Training delivers accredited telehandler 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 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. 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 telehandler operator certificate, recognised by auditors and procurement teams across Kincardine, 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.
What the course covers
- Boom control, load charts and stability

Telehandler Training — common audit findings we prevent
From Kincardine, 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
