This course is designed to provide delegates with the knowledge to operate a Lorry Loader correctly. It covers the theoretical and practical elements and is suitable for delegates with limited to no formal instruction or training.

The course is delivered through a combination of classroom-based tutorials and practical assignments. Delegates will be assessed through a mixture of theory and practical tests.

These will include:

• How to complete all pre-start procedures, run checks and understand shutdown mechanisms.
• Factors of machine stability.
• Configuration for travel both on site and on the roads.
• Configuration of lifting duties.
• How to safely place materials on transporting vehicles.
• Requirements of lifting and mechanics of lifting.
• Explanation of loading and unloading procedures.
• Safe and effective transportation of loads.
• How to place a machine out of service.

All delegates must have successfully passed a CITB Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E) test, often referred to as the touch screen test, within the past two years.

Delegates must have a good understanding of spoken and written English.

Successful delegates will receive a CPCS Red Trained Operator Card (on successful completion of the CPCS Technical Tests).
