Some more specific kinds of course material include:

Checks

Pre-use checks and running checks, as well as shut down checks. These are focused on being able to shut down and start up the vehicle safely, and are a huge part of any excavator training course in Dunstable.

For example, pre-use checks are meant to catch issues before the vehicle is activated. Understanding shut down and pre-use checks is vital for using the vehicle correctly.

Rough Terrain

Being able to operate a vehicle on both smooth and undulating ground is vital, especially when digging vertical trench spaces that might interfere with smooth movement.

The wheeled or tracked undercarriage of these 360 excavator units works well on both rough and level surfaces, but being able to handle the vehicle off level surfaces is a major part of proving your competence with the machine.

Operation

A 360 excavator in Dunstable has a vast number of applications. Operators need to understand various types of operation, such as basic construction, how to place materials, how to manage square excavation, and even how to level ground if needed.

This also covers things like operating in confined spaces, or around underground and overhead services.

The Dunstable course covers basic securing procedures and other steps involved in safe operation, which hare important for proving competence. Not understanding securing procedures or confined spaces operation can put others in danger, or even cause direct harm to fellow employees.
