MEWP Training prices for Aberdeen sites
We publish MEWP price bands rather than gatekeeping them behind a contact form, because most Aberdeen ops managers are quote-comparing three providers and don't have time for email back-and-forth. Here's the band, what moves you up or down it, and how the Aberdeen run from our Aboyne base affects the line on the invoice.

Who this is built for in Aberdeen
Right fit
Maintenance, M&E, fit-out and inspection crews. For context: Aberdeen's £10bn+ annual GVA from the Aberdeen city region — one of the highest per-capita in the UK means we run regular cohorts in your postcode — you're rarely the only MEWP job we're delivering that week, which keeps prices honest.
What they leave with
- Pre-use, machine familiarisation and emergency lowering
- Wind, ground and proximity hazard assessment
- Rescue planning and harness use where required
