Skid steer Certification

Much like the modern loaders, skid steers or “skid loaders” have undergone major improvements towards ease of use. Our on site skid steer training course will cover the basics of skid steer operation as well their unique operational controls. We will familiarize participants with the varying control styles of their skid steer, whether the unit is equipped with foot and joystick bucket and track controls, or joystick only operation; each individual will have a clear understanding of their skid steer and be confident in its use. Finally each participant will have to complete an operational test to acquire their skid steer certification.
