Audit findings this prevents

- •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 Banchory
Right fit
Construction, farming and civils operators. For context: Banchory's 1 of 3 fastest-growing Aberdeenshire towns by housebuilding activity in the last decade means we run regular cohorts in your postcode — you're rarely the only telehandler job we're delivering that week, which keeps prices honest.
What they leave with
- Boom control, load charts and stability
- Attachment changes and lifting accessories
- Travel with raised loads and uneven ground handling
