This bundle covers two practical units that are common on civil construction and earthmoving sites across Australia. You will learn to operate a telescopic materials handler (telehandler) and a skid steer loader safely and efficiently, following site procedures, load charts, and the relevant work health and safety requirements. Training combines theory with hands-on machine time so you can demonstrate competent operation of both pieces of plant.
The bundle suits people entering the construction, landscaping, agriculture, or resources industries who want to broaden their plant operating ticket list, as well as workers already on site who need to formalise their skills in these two machines. If you are comfortable working outdoors in a physical environment and want to add recognised units to your resume, this combination is a practical choice.
After completing both units you will be able to pre-start and inspect a telehandler and a skid steer loader, carry out operational tasks including lifting, placing, and travelling with loads, and complete the post-operational checks and documentation that sites require. These skills open pathways toward roles such as plant operator, site labourer, and general construction worker.
