Trade Skills Training provides this three day course as a regular public course or by arrangement, on-site. The aim of this course is to provide participants, from the mining, manufacturing or construction industries, with the knowledge, skills and understanding to effectively and safely operate industrial load moving equipment (Vehicle Loading Crane).

Content of the course covers the following elements relating to Vehicle Loading Crane operations:

Those wishing to participate in this training course will need to be at least 18 years of age, be free of any physical or medical condition that may affect the safe operation of a Vehicle Loading Crane.
