Operate a rotating telehandler with attachments & Wheels Endorsement 33426 & 16701

Course Overview
A rotating telescopic handler, also called a 360 telehandler, teleporter, or boom lift, is a machine widely used in the agriculture and infrastructure industries. It is somewhat like a forklift but has a boom (Telescopic cylinder), plus slews 360 degree’s and sets up on outriggers making it more a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a articulating boom that can extend forwards, sideways and upwards from the vehicle. On the end of the boom the operator can fit one of several attachments, such as a bucket, pallet forks, muck grab, or winch. Due to these cross overs and complexities, it is essential operators fully understand the machine they operate.

Attendees will be assessed through theory and practical skills of the telehandler applications including;

• describe the operation of a rotating telehander;
• prepare for operation of a rotating telehandler;
• operate a rotating telehandler on a worksite; and
• complete post-operational procedures for a rotating telehandler.

If a Trainee is enrolling on a vehicle driver license or endorsement course including but not limited to Car Lessons, Class 2-5 Trucks, W,T,R,F,D or V endorsements that the trainee clearly checks the pre requirement for class of license and duration stated on the course proposal or booking sheet. M.O.S.T will do our best to confirm prior to the course with the trainee, but it is the trainee who is responsible for confirming their own situation before booking a course.

The Trainee on all license and endorsement courses must also bring their physical driver license on each and every day of the enrolled course to be sited by the instructor, this can be a temporary paper license or a full photo license. If a temporary paper license trainees are encouraged to also bring a separate form of photo identification. NO PHYSICAL LICENSE, NO COURSE ATTENDANCE and  the trainee will be released from the course and treated as a non-attendance in line with our cancelation policy
