This course has been developed for experienced operators and to be delivered in the workplace. It applies operator skills and knowledge for those working in site-based roles required to operate a skid steer loader to load, haul and distribute materials.

Skid steer loaders are used across a range of industries including civil construction and the resource sectors.

This course covers the following outcomes:

Planning and preparing for skid steer loader operations

Operating the skid steer loader in line with established requirements

Loading, carrying and placing materials to complete work activity

Selecting, removing, fitting and using attachments or a skid steer loader

Preparing to relocate the skid steer loader
