Mini Loader Qualification

[DerbyTrees]

Hi,

 

Could anyone point me in the direction of what qualification is required to operate mini loader's / skid steers such as the Cormidi or Cast machines?

 

Cheers,

I’m not aware of any qualifications for them, but there’s certainly an opportunity for a parasite to invent one.

Probably more to do with what site yr on and wot you got stuck on the end of it 🤔 K

As Khriss said above, all depends what's on the front pallet forks it would be classified as forklift, bucket then loading shovel, timber grab we'll I have no idea what class that's in. 

My dad did his forklift test on a telehandler and the company gave him a masted rough terrain, after 3 years safety officer said he was not trained  to drive it. 

All the training in the world is nothing like common sense and knowledge of machine you are using.

NPORS Training Courses

The NPORS card is an alternative to the CPCS. NPORS training courses for operators of cranes, grass cutters, skip lorries...

NPORS is easier than CPCS so I have heard

I have had training on my Cormidi, no course is required as they are chariot stand on. However

my local training co charged me £ 400 for a one day training course for three people to satisfy the HSE who we were working with on site at the time. we did loader with bucket,forks,mower,tipping skip,and three way skip.

all they wanted was someone to sign that we had been trained and were in the opinion of the tester safe using the machine 

I had to do a npors course for a telehandler for the avant plus a lifting suspended loads for moving trees
