Why Take This Course?

The backhoe is a versatile piece of equipment – equipped with two attachment points that allow for several different configurations.  For example, swap the front bucket out for a set of forks and you have the equivalent of a rough terrain forklift.  Or, a power jack hammer attached to the back boom enables the operator to break up concrete or large rock.

With the extensive possibilities this equipment offers, an in-depth training program is vital to provide the operator with not only the skills necessary to operate the Tractor Loader Backhoe with its two standard buckets, but to enable a complete understanding of all aspects.   Complete knowledge of all safety and maintenance aspects as they relate to overall operation will facilitate maximum efficiency, safety and productivity in all operations, regardless of configuration.

Who Is This For?

This course is for any person responsible for operating a tractor loader backhoe.
