Operators we work alongside in Stonehaven

  • Spurryhillock Industrial Estate tenants
  • Stonehaven Harbour users
  • Mearns agricultural operators

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

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 Stonehaven

Right fit

Construction, farming and civils operators. 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 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
