Course Overview
Conduct Civil Construction Skid Steer Loader Operations is part of our Plant Operations training delivery we provide as an individual unit. The Skid Steer Loader is also known as a compact wheel loader, skid loader, or Bobcat. This is a good ticket for those looking to enter the civil construction industry or become a plant operator.
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to operate a skid steer loader to load, haul and distribute materials. This unit applies to those working in site based roles. This unit alone does not provide sufficient skill to independently load and unload equipment. To perform this activity safely, personnel must either complete or be assisting someone who has completed RIIHAN308F Load and unload plant or equivalent.
This unit covers:
- Plan and prepare for skid steer loader operations
- Operate skid steer loader in line with established requirements
- Load, carry and place materials to complete work activity
- Select, remove, fit and use attachments for a skid steer loader
- Prepare to relocate the skid steer loader
- Conduct housekeeping activities
Western Training provides training for operators of all skill levels. Our training is conducted at a specialised facility designed to simulate a live work site to ensure a seamless transition from a training environment to an active work site.
