Tandem lift planning with two cranes and a single AP
- Scenario 2
Ground bearing pressure check on a yard with unknown made-up fill

Audit findings this prevents
- No written lift plan for a 'routine' lift — fails almost every BS 7121 audit
- Outriggers not fully extended because of yard width — capacity halved silently
- AP and supervisor roles combined in one person, which BS 7121 prohibits
FAQs
- What happens if an operator fails?
- We re-coach on the spot where possible and re-assess; if the gap is bigger we plan a short repeat block rather than a full re-run.
- Will our North-East Scotland site suit on-site delivery?
- North-East Scotland sites are mostly warehousing, light industrial units, distribution depots, which suits on-site delivery well — we need a safe practical area, a room or cabin for theory, and access for our vehicle off the A90.
- Have you worked with sites near North-East Scotland before?
- Regularly — we work around Murcar Commercial Park, Bridge of Don Industrial Estate, Denmore Industrial Estate. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.
- How long does mobile crane take?
- For refresher cohorts most operators clear inside a day; novice candidates need longer. We plan duration around your team's prior experience, not a default course length.
- Can you build a fleet schedule across multiple yards?
- Yes. We cohort across yards in the same week so the same standard is evidenced fleet-wide and refresher windows line up.
