In-house telehandler training for Inverurie teams

An in-house telehandler cohort in Inverurie means we close the course to your team only. That changes the conversation — we can refer to your specific risk assessments, your machine fleet, your traffic management plan and your Aberdeenshire site rules instead of teaching the generic version.

Regulatory frame

LOLER 1998 and PUWER 1998.

Certification: Accredited telehandler operator certificate. Equipment: Fixed-mast and 360° telehandlers.

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

Who this is built for in Inverurie

Right fit

Construction, farming and civils operators. In-house works best for teams of 4+. Below that, an open cohort is usually cheaper per head; above that, the per-head price drops sharply and you keep the institutional knowledge in your business.

What they leave with

  • Boom control, load charts and stability
  • Attachment changes and lifting accessories
  • Travel with raised loads and uneven ground handling

FAQs — in-house in Inverurie

What's the minimum team size?
4 for the per-head economics to make sense. Below that, open cohorts are better value.
Can you use our risk assessments?
Yes — we ask for them in advance and refer to them throughout the day.
Will the trainer come to our Inverurie site?
Always. In-house only happens at your site.
Do you do recurring annual in-house programmes?
Yes, and we discount them. Most multi-site clients run a rolling 12-month plan.

Open-cohort training certifies the operator. In-house training certifies the operator against your site. That difference shows up on every subsequent audit.
