Backhoe Loader Safety and Operation
A free familiarisation course on the backhoe loader for new operators, ground workers, signallers and supervisors, with a 3D model of the machine to explore. Learn its two working ends, the rotating seat, stabilisers and pads, the loader arm safety strut, the boom transport lock, roading, digging, loading and quick hitches. It does not replace the practical training, assessment and authorisation your employer and the law require before anyone operates a backhoe loader or drives one on a road.
