COURSE OVERVIEW:
A Grader is a self-propelled, articulated wheeled machine used within the civil industry. Graders typically have three axles, with the steering wheels in the front, followed by an adjustable blade mounted in the centre, then the cab, followed by the tandem axles along with rippers/scarifying points. A Grader's primary purpose is to strip and place material to keep surfaces smooth. For the Grader 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 Grader Operations in the Resources and Infrastructure Industries.
