COURSE OVERVIEW:
An Excavator is a self-propelled, wheeled or tracked machine used within the civil industry. Designed with an upper structure that can move 360 degrees, an Excavator's primary purpose is to excavate, swing and discharge materials. The 360-degree action is carried out through the movement of the boom without any movement from the chassis or undercarriage of the machine. Excavators are equipped with several attachments such as a Trenching Bucket, Mud Bucket, Ripper, Rake, Hydraulic Hammer and Rock Grab. For the Excavator to be used economically and safely, the operator must receive adequate training. This course focuses on the skills and knowledge required to Conduct Civil Construction Excavator Operations in the Resources and Infrastructure Industries.
