Why Take This Course

While operating similar in many ways to a tracked excavator, the Gradall course is specific to the highly mobile version often used for ditching/ditch maintenance. Built on a truck chassis, this well known vehicle can be driven from the rear operators compartment, allowing the operator to maneuver along a roadside while performing the ditch work. This configuration allows for on road driving, which brings with it some unique considerations.

Regardless of this equipment’s assigned job, it is vital that all operators receive both practical and theoretical instruction on the machine; training is proven to increase operator production while minimizing down time due to excessive mechanical wear, even with experienced operators.

Who Should Attend?
