Stonehaven on the ground: Coastal gusting at Spurryhillock and the harbour regularly closes MEWP and crane work above mid-spec wind limits — operators here need confident anemometer-based stop-work decisions.

Regulatory frame

Work at Height Regulations 2005 and LOLER 1998.

Certification: Accredited MEWP operator certificate. Equipment: Boom lifts, scissor lifts, push-around verticals.

Audit findings this prevents

  • No rescue plan on file — IPAF and HSE inspectors ask for this every visit
  • Harness clipped to the basket rail instead of the manufacturer anchor
  • Outriggers deployed onto soft ground without a spreader plate

Who this is built for in Stonehaven

Right fit

Maintenance, M&E, fit-out and inspection crews. For context: Stonehaven's Top 10% highest mean wind speeds on the UK east coast are recorded along the AB39 cliffs 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
