Which are the most popular and versatile civil machinery tickets?
Among these, let’s focus on three of the most popular and versatile courses:
Telescopic materials handler
Also known as the telehandler, this piece of versatile machinery is known for its ability to change attachments and be used across various industries, making it an indispensable piece of equipment across construction sites.
For example, it can be used as a crane, bulldozer, elevated work platform or forklift.
Because it’s such a handy and adaptable machine, holders of this certification are in demand across multiple sectors.
Skid steer loader
Skid steer loaders are a work site staple, so expertise in operating one is a huge advantage.
This course is among one of our most popular because it’s a great ticket to have, whether you’re wanting to join a residential landscaping business or jump into a major construction site or are not sure which way the road will take you, this ticket is going to come in useful.
Articulated Haul Truck
Aiming for a career in mining or large-scale earthmoving? This is the ticket you need. It’s an awesome stepping stone and this ticket is often enough to get your foot in the door and an entry-level role in the mining and large earthmoving industries.
Excavator
This course is essential for anyone looking to operate one of the most common and powerful pieces of equipment on a job site. Excavator operator skills like skid steer loader skills, are sought after in a variety of industries, like roadworks, earthmoving and construction and are a great way to show confidence in your ability to handle bigger machinery.
How important is it to be multi-skilled with different machinery?
It’s increasingly common for professionals in the industry to hold multiple licenses. Being multi-skilled not only makes you more adaptable on various job sites but also positions you well for higher roles like site supervisor. The ability to operate different types of machinery at the drop of a hat means you can always step in and get the job done and that is what an employer needs.
Civil machine tickets are a foot in the door
Keep in mind, earning your ticket isn’t a guarantee you can jump straight into a cab. For many, this means starting with less technical machines or being a labourer first and stepping into machinery ad hoc before gradually building up your confidence and your employers’ trust in you, to become a full-time operator.
