1. Mac’s Official British Crane Operator Championships 2026: Terms and Conditions

   1. The Challenge

   • Mac’s Truck Sales Ltd are looking to find the best crane truck operator in the UK by putting the very best to the ultimate test in the Mac’s Official British Crane Operator Championships 2026 (the “Challenge”).

   • The Challenge will take place over a series of 3 or 4 heats (the “Heats”) at our site in Huddersfield, by testing your operating skills, precision, and dexterity in two timed trials.

   • The top three finalists from each Heat will go on to compete in the final face-off challenge (the “Final”).

   • A full explanation of the tests and the rules regarding how you complete the Challenge will be provided by a Mac’s Representative at the Heats.

   2. Entry and Registration

   • Entries to the Challenge will be accepted online prior to the Heats via the form on this page: https://macstrucks.co.uk/crane-challenge/. We will have a very limited number of on-the-day sign-up slots available.

   • Each participant can only have one entry time; therefore, if a participant competes in more than one Heat, their fastest overall time from the Heats will be submitted as their entry time to the Challenge.

   • The Challenge is not open to anyone employed by Mac’s.
