01What we supply

Telehandler Operators for Hertfordshire and the northern M25 corridor

Hertfordshire telehandler demand comes from residential sites around Stevenage, Hatfield and Hemel Hempstead, commercial and industrial work through Watford and Borehamwood, and the studio construction cluster where material distribution runs to production timetables rather than construction ones.

Studio and facility sites are worth mentioning because access is often shared with non-construction traffic and filming activity. Operators there need to be disciplined about routes and timings and to stop when told by people who are not site staff — an unusual requirement, and one some plant operators handle badly.

With the M1 and A1(M) either side of the county, we can move operators in quickly, so Hertfordshire is one of our most reliable areas for telehandler cover.

02What you get

Every telehandler operator is checked before they reach your gate

Vetting is done before we put someone forward, not after you have inducted them. The evidence sits in our compliance pack and we will send it for your PQQ.

CPCS or NPORS category verified

Checked live against the register. A17 telescopic handler and A77 360 slew are distinct categories and we confirm the right one for your machine.

Suspended load endorsement

Where you are lifting on forks or with a hook attachment we confirm the operative is trained and carded for suspended loads, not just for pallet handling.

Machine size and attachment match

We ask the make, reach and attachments in use — a 4m yard machine and a 17m heavy-lift telehandler need different operators.

Right to work

Originals or share code checked in person, with expiry tracking.

References on plant discipline

Pre-use checks, defect reporting and behaviour around pedestrians asked about specifically.

07Questions from hirers

Hiring telehandler operators — frequently asked

Give us the machine details and category needed on the call so we are verifying the right card immediately.

Yes. A17 telescopic handler and A77 360 slew are different categories, and a suspended load endorsement is separate again. We verify against the CPCS or NPORS register before putting anyone forward — an operator on the wrong category is an insurance problem as much as a competence one.

Often yes, and on smaller sites it makes sense. Tell us at booking so we place someone comfortable with it rather than a plant-only operator who will resent the first day of shifting materials by hand.

No — we supply labour, not plant. The machine, its inspection and thorough examination records and its maintenance remain yours or your hire company's responsibility.
