ALLMI and MHE Training in Scotland
MHE Training UK provides professional on-site ALLMI Lorry Loader, Slinger/Signaller and materials-handling equipment training for businesses across Scotland. Weekday and weekend dates are available subject to our availability, site location and travel arrangements.
On-site training across Scotland
We can discuss training requirements in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Ayrshire, Fife, Dundee, Perth, Stirling, Falkirk, Aberdeen, Inverness and surrounding areas. Courses are normally delivered at the customer’s workplace using suitable equipment and a safe training area.
ALLMI training in Scotland
Our primary specialist courses are ALLMI Lorry Loader and ALLMI Slinger/Signaller training. Employers may also search for HIAB training in Scotland when they need lorry-loader operator training; HIAB is a manufacturer name commonly used for loader cranes, while the accredited course we provide is ALLMI Lorry Loader Operator Training. Course planning considers the loader, attachments, lifting duties, candidate experience and working environment before dates are confirmed.
Driver CPC available with eligible ALLMI training: a full 7-hour ALLMI Lorry Loader or Slinger / Signaller training day can count as 7 hours towards Driver CPC, subject to driver eligibility, an approved course and training centre, and correct registration and recording. Arrange this at booking. Extra charges apply per person, per day for the Driver CPC add-on. Combining the training can reduce separate CPC training days, saving time and helping keep your drivers on the road. Driver CPC details and conditions.

Training for Scottish employers
We support logistics, manufacturing, construction, utilities, ports, warehousing, engineering, forestry, energy, builders merchants and other industries operating lifting or materials-handling equipment. Training is tailored to the machinery and conditions at your site.
Central Belt, North, Highlands and Islands coverage
On-site training can be discussed across the Central Belt, the north-east, Highlands, Borders and island areas subject to the live diary and travel arrangements. Central Scotland enquiries commonly include Glasgow, Edinburgh, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Falkirk, Stirling, Fife and surrounding areas. Further north we can discuss work around Dundee, Perth, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, Moray and Inverness, while more remote locations are assessed individually around travel and ferry requirements.
The full postcode is important because journey time, ferry times where relevant, site access and the planned course start time all affect whether a date is practical. For longer-distance work we plan travel around the training day rather than relying on same-day travel that could reduce useful training time.
Why on-site training works well in Scotland
Using the customer’s own suitable equipment allows candidates to learn on the controls, attachments, loads and working environment they will actually use after the course. For lorry-loader work this can include the vehicle, stabilisers, loader configuration, hook, grab or other relevant attachment and the lifting area. For forklift and MHE courses it can include warehouse aisles, racking, yard surfaces, loading areas, pedestrian routes and representative loads.
On-site delivery also makes it possible to discuss local workplace conditions that a generic training-centre course may not reproduce, including exposed outdoor areas, uneven yards, gradients, restricted access, busy industrial routes, mixed pedestrian and vehicle traffic, overhead obstructions and the exact lifting or materials-handling tasks carried out by the business.
What to prepare before the course
- Make the correct machine or loader available for the agreed training period.
- Provide a safe practical area with enough room for the required exercises.
- Have representative loads, pallets or lifting accessories available where required.
- Provide machine documentation and any relevant site operating procedures.
- Confirm candidate names, previous training and operating experience before the course.
- Tell us about inductions, PPE rules, access restrictions or site-specific hazards in advance.
Providing this information early helps us confirm the correct course route and reduces the risk of lost training time on the day.

Scotland training questions
Can training be delivered at our premises?
Yes, provided your site has suitable equipment, facilities and a safe training area. On-site delivery is particularly useful when operators need to train on the exact loader crane, forklift or MHE equipment they use at work.
Which details are needed for a quotation?
Please provide the site postcode, course or machine required, candidate numbers, experience levels and preferred dates. Machine photographs and data-plate information can also help where the exact category is unclear.
Do you provide weekend training in Scotland?
Yes. Weekday and weekend dates are available subject to location, travel arrangements, site suitability and the live diary.
Can you cover remote areas or islands?
Potentially, yes. Remote and island work is reviewed individually because journey time, ferry availability, accommodation and the training schedule must all work together. Send the exact postcode or location when enquiring so the travel plan can be checked properly.
Do you cover both ALLMI and forklift training?
Yes. ALLMI Lorry Loader and Slinger/Signaller remain our primary accredited courses, alongside a wider range of forklift and MHE operator training delivered on-site.
