Excavator 360°
Practical Test
This test has been devised to examine the critical skills required of an excavator operator, such as:-
Mounting, dismounting and parking the excavator Starting and stopping the excavator
Driving forwards and in reverse on various terrains Steering accurately in confined and open area Attaching and removing attachments
Using hydraulic controls correctly and sympathetically Judging the position of the bucket in excavation Positioning and loading vehicles
Observing the working environment and judging speed, height, width and distance from within the confines of the excavator
The test is based on the safe application of these operations at a reasonable working pace. Care has been taken to design a course, which covers all the
critical skills, whilst being easily constructed on most company premises
