360 Excavator Training

---

360° Excavator Training (Including Mini Digger) DSW Trainings offers a comprehensive 360 excavator training course designed for operators who need excavator training or a 360° test for excavators, whether they are above or below 10 tonnes. We provide a variety of excavator courses, including both wheeled excavator training and tracked excavator training, as part of our plant operator training programs.

Both new and existing plant operators who have received little or no formal instruction on excavators can benefit from 360 excavator training. Those looking to achieve an accredited BRITTOp Excavator Skilled operators card should consider enrolling in comprehensive excavator courses as part of their plant operator training.

DSW Training Ltd offers a variety of excavator courses, including: Mini Digger training (tracked) for machines below 10 tonnes, 360 excavator training (tracked) for those above 10 tonnes, Mini Digger training (wheeled) below 10 tonnes, and 360 excavator training (wheeled) above 10 tonnes, often referred to as a ‘Rubber Duck.’ If you're aiming to operate both Mini Diggers and excavators above 10 tonnes, enrolling in the above 10 tonne excavator course is the best choice, as it qualifies individuals for plant operator training to handle both sizes of 360° excavators upon completion.

At DSW Training Ltd, our novice 360 excavator training courses can take between 5 and 10 days, depending on the ratio of trainees enrolled. For experienced excavator operators who may not have formal training or those looking to refresh their skills, we offer short duration excavator courses. These specialized plant operator training sessions can take between 1 and 4 days, based on the operator's ability and experience.

Familiarity with the equipment and use of the Operator's manual is crucial for successful 360 excavator training. Be aware of the necessary routine adjustments and service procedures that are essential in plant operator training. Understand the health and safety legislation as it applies to plant operators, along with your responsibilities regarding daily and weekly checks of the machine. Knowing the role and responsibility as a plant operator is key to effective operation. This includes understanding the principal components, basic construction, controls, and terminology associated with excavator courses. Safely and productively operate the excavator in a 360° tracked manner while fitting and operating ancillary equipment. Site the machine safely and efficiently, and ensure you comprehend the capabilities, purposes, and limitations of the machine. Always follow necessary safety precautions and work to levels with the aid of laser equipment, while being aware of hazards such as underground and overhead services. Practical operation includes tasks such as excavation of material, loading vehicles, and operating on rough ground and inclines. Additionally, you will learn about the safe use of the quick hitch, using the excavator for lifting operations, and shutdown and securing procedures. This comprehensive training covers both theoretical knowledge and practical application of plant operations. Contact us for costs.
