Track Loader

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to operate a tracked front end loader to shift loads. Also known as a crawler, a track dozer moves on tracks similar to what you might think of on a tank. These tracks are often steel but can also be rubber.

This course will generally be required to be delivered on site.

Upon the completion of this training, you will be awarded the national unit of competency of:

• RIIMPO322E - Conduct civil construction tracked front end loader operations

Track Dozer

This course provides the skills and knowledge required to conduct dozer operations. Track Dozers are heavy-weight motorised machines that are employed for the purpose of moving away heavy dirt from one location to another. These machines are equipped with a metal blade that is ideal to push, loosen and scoop dirt especially mine and construction sites.

This course will generally be required to be delivered on site.

Upon the completion of this training, you will be awarded the national unit of competency of:

• RIIMPO308F - Conduct tracked dozer operations
• RIIMPO323E - Conduct civil construction dozer operations

Wheel Dozer

This course provides the skills and knowledge required to conduct dozer operations. A wheeled dozer has four tires under the tractor, distributing the machine's weight at the four corners where each wheel stands. Because this type of heavy equipment typically operates on a smaller axis, a wheel dozer offers more versatility and mobility, capable of making sharper turns.

This course will generally be required to be delivered on site.

Upon the completion of this training, you will be awarded the national unit of competency of:

• RIIMPO309F - Conduct wheeled dozer operations
• RIIMPO323E - Conduct civil construction dozer operations

Grader

This course provides the skills and knowledge required to operate a grader. The name 'grader' alludes to what the machine does, which is levelling the ground to a certain grade in preparation for laying asphalt or concrete on top of the area. This construction machine can also be used for the removal of snow, debris and earthmoving based on the projects' location and requirements.

This course will generally be required to be delivered on site.
