Typical mobile crane scenarios on North-East Scotland sites
- Scenario 1
Tandem lift planning with two cranes and a single AP
- Scenario 2
Ground bearing pressure check on a yard with unknown made-up fill
- Scenario 3
Lifting over a live road or rail — exclusion zone, banksman positioning
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
- Is mobile crane accredited?
- Yes — accredited certificates aligned with LOLER 1998, BS 7121 and PUWER 1998 are issued to successful candidates.
- Is this course right for site managers?
- It's built for that buyer profile. The paperwork and cohorting are tuned to what site managers are usually measured on.
- How much does mobile crane cost for a team in North-East Scotland?
- Day rates for mobile crane typically fall inside the band the course brief lists. Cohort size, novice/refresher split and travel are the main drivers — we send a fixed price, not a day rate × headcount.
- Is it worth running a cohort for 1–2 operators?
- Yes — small cohorts work in North-East Scotland because travel from Aboyne is short. We don't charge a minimum-headcount premium.
- Do you do follow-up observation visits?
- Yes — short post-course observation visits are a cheap way to lock in the behaviour change auditors actually want to see.
