Can we use our own equipment?

We strongly recommend it. Training on your machines means the assessment evidences how your operators actually work.

Have you worked with sites near North-East Scotland before?

Regularly — we work around Hill of Banchory Business Park, Glassel Park civils, Inchmarlo Estate ops. That means we already know the gate, induction and permit routine, so the cohort starts on time.

Which regulations does mobile crane map to here?

LOLER 1998, BS 7121 and PUWER 1998. We print the mapping on the evidence pack so the oil & gas client or principal contractor can tie the certificate to the reg they cited.

Can you cohort operators with weaker English?

Yes — we adjust pace and use translated handouts where needed. Assessment is competence-based, not language-based.

How often is refresher training required?

Refresher every 3 years; project-mobilisation cohorts on 2-week notice., sooner if a near-miss, machine change or audit finding triggers it.

Typical mobile crane scenarios on North-East Scotland sites

Scenario 1
Tandem lift planning with two cranes and a single AP
Scenario 2
Ground bearing pressure check on a yard with unknown made-up fill
Scenario 3
Lifting over a live road or rail — exclusion zone, banksman positioning

Audit findings this prevents

No written lift plan for a 'routine' lift — fails almost every BS 7121 audit
Outriggers not fully extended because of yard width — capacity halved silently
AP and supervisor roles combined in one person, which BS 7121 prohibits
