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

- Pulling away with a raised load on uneven ground — the top cause of tip-overs
FAQs
- 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 is unsafe, contact us to agree the next step.
- What is the training approach?
- Training is practical and delivered around the equipment and conditions operators face on site.
