Do you cover sites near North-East Scotland?

Yes — the same instructors cover the surrounding NE Scotland area weekly from Aboyne, so adjacent-yard cohorts add little to no travel cost.

Which regulations does telehandler map to here?

LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the construction client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.

How far do you travel to North-East Scotland?

35 road miles from our Aboyne (AB34) base, ~50 mins via A957/A90. Short travel is why single-operator cohorts in North-East Scotland are still economic for us to run.

What happens if the weather closes the site?

We carry on with theory and assessment indoors where possible; if the practical isn't safe we re-plan the practical day — no extra charge.

How experienced are the instructors?

Our instructors are operator-trained, audit-experienced and have decades on NE Scotland sites — not classroom-only.

Typical telehandler scenarios on North-East Scotland sites

Scenario 1
Lifting palletised blockwork to first-lift scaffold on a sloping plot
Scenario 2
Swapping bucket → forks → man-cage and re-checking the LOLER record
Scenario 3
Tele-handling round livestock or farm pedestrians without segregation

Audit findings this prevents

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
