On-Site Mini Excavator Training
Machine Force can simplify your excavator training requirements by coming to your premises and teach a group of your staff how to operate and maintain these complex machines together on your site.

Excavator Training

180° & 360° Excavator Training
180° excavators are widely used through the building and grounds maintenance industry. Also known as backhoe loaders or backhoes if you were to ask any group what they could tell you about 180° excavators (backhoe loaders) a lot wouldn’t know what you were talking about. But show them a picture and almost everybody would recognise it.
Excavators are used for a wide variety of jobs and are often the only item of the heavy plant on your construction site. It is vital that your staff have completed an appropriate accredited 180° excavator training course before operating machines of this size, weight and power. Often the difficulty in finding suitably qualified staff. We can help solve this by running a 180° excavator training programme for a number of your staff on your site. This has the advantage of developing some friendly camaraderie between them whilst reducing the time taken.
360º Excavators
Excavators come in a wide variety of sizes. 360º Excavators are distinguished by their ability to revolve through a full 360º degree. The smaller excavators are called a mini-excavator or compact excavator and can access small paths as narrow as 70cm (28inches). Others can be very large weighing many tonnes.
Most are tracked and capable of traversing soft ground due to their low ground pressure. However, like all modern machinery, they require proper training to operate safely and efficiently. Our 360º Excavator courses are structured to quickly and efficiently get you or your staff fully qualified on one of the most common pieces plant in the UK.

Forklift Truck Training
Forklifts are widely used from warehouses to building sites. There are many different types each with their own particular requirements. The most common are counterbalance forklifts, side shift forklifts and rough terrain forklifts and each has its own requirements for the forklift truck training provided. Accredited forklift truck training helps you not only stay within the current regulations but ensures that your staff fully understand the capabilities of the machine and therefore the most effective way to use it.
In addition to forklift truck training, this course covers essential features of forklift trucks and their daily maintenance, including how to avoid the potential dangers of operation, how to assess loads and move them safely, how to get the best from your forklift in different conditions and the relevant legal requirements through effective forklift truck training.
Once again the forklift truck training can either be held at your site for groups of people, which has the advantage of developing some friendly camaraderie to see who will be the best. Reducing the time taken, by eliminating the travelling time involved. Alternatively, we can arrange training at our own site for individuals or smaller groups.

Counterbalance Forklift Truck Training
Rough Terrain Forklifts are unsurprisingly found in areas which are too arduous for conventional forklifts. There are several manufacturers but tend to follow the same basic design.
Accredited Rough Forklift Truck training helps you not only stay within the current regulations but ensures that your staff fully understand the capabilities of a machine which by its very nature tends to be used in more hazardous areas.
