Forward Tipping Dumper & Ride on Roller (Experienced Worker)

The Forward Tipping Dumper is the construction industry’s robust and reliable solution for transporting various materials to, from, and across site. With the load held at the front of the machine and the driver sitting behind, it is ideal for undulating surface travel and can carry various materials. The key to optimum usage lies in operation - not overfilling the truck, careful and skilful handling, and expert knowledge of excavation site driving and stability. 

This course delivers training for the Forward Tipping Dumper and the Ride on Roller. 

A Roller's primary purpose is to compact soil, gravel, sand, road surfaces, etc., using vibration, impact loading, kneading, and direct pressure.

More than just ride-on machinery, there are fundamental skills and knowledge workers need to know to handle these trucks safely, correctly and productively.

This NPORS (N204) and (N214) certification delivers the necessary skills, knowledge, and understanding of safely using a Forward Tipping Dumper and Ride on Roller. It is specifically aimed at Plant Operators who have limited or no experience in Forward Tipping Dumpers and Rollers.
