Tractor Loader Backhoe (Backhoe)

Why Take This Course

The backhoe is a versatile piece of equipment – equipped with two attachment points that allow for several different configurations. For example, swap the front bucket out for a set of forks, and you will have the equivalent of a rough-terrain forklift. Or, a power jackhammer attached to the back boom enables the operator to break up concrete or large rocks.

With the extensive possibilities this equipment offers, an in-depth training program is vital to provide the operator with not only the skills necessary to operate the Tractor Loader Backhoe with its two standard buckets but also to enable a complete understanding of all aspects.

Complete knowledge of all safety and maintenance aspects as they relate to overall operation will facilitate maximum efficiency, safety and productivity in all operations, regardless of configuration.

This course is for any person responsible for operating a tractor loader backhoe.
