Telehandler Operators for Surrey and the south-west M25 corridor
Surrey telehandler requirements are frequently on constrained private and small commercial sites — a machine threading between a boundary, a finished driveway and an occupied house. Damage on those jobs is expensive and immediately visible, so we place operators with a record of careful working rather than the fastest hands we have.
Ground conditions matter more here than most people expect. Clay through Epsom and Leatherhead can turn a travel route into a rutted mess after rain, and a telehandler that has churned the access is the machine that gets stuck at the worst moment. Operators who know local ground manage the route deliberately.
Access restrictions — weight limits on residential roads, restricted working hours, shared driveways — are common, and we brief operators on those before arrival. Everyone in this pool drives, so rural sites and early starts are straightforward.
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.
