Advanced Dozer (Track Type Tractor) Training Exercises
Advanced Dozer (Track Type Tractor) training covers the following topics:
Machine Walkaround. Learn pre-operation machine inspection procedures to ensure proper operating and safety conditions.
Controls Familiarization. Learn and understand operator controls and proper sequences for machine operations including start-up and shut-down procedures.
Site Clearance. Learn how to clear trees, stumps and boulders from abuilding site. The terrain is laden with rocks/boulders and various size trees that the Dozer operator must remove using the correct procedures.
Pad Building. Learn how to build a commercial pad (i.e. for a warehouse). The operator will set the parameters for grade, and build the pad. Includes knocking down the center berm between the slots using the proper crisscross method to remove the berm and pushing it to the far side for more fill dirt.
Slope/Ramp Building. Learn how to a build highway on/off ramp. The ramp is partially shaped, but needs large amounts of dirt pushed and shaped out.
Road Construction. Learn how to rough in the road, including the crown, using a loaded Grade Control profile, while keeping trucks busy dumping dirt.
Drainage Ditch Building. Teaches the Dozer operator to rough in ditches to better shape the ditch for proper runoff drainage. The operator will cut out the high spots, fill some low spots, etc. to meet a pre-loaded Grade Control profile.
Some exercises include integrated Grade Control. Each exercise
has the option for Open Training. Expand and customize training for
individual needs.

VR ACCESSORY
The VR headset enables the user to see more of the environment and machines. The user gains greater depth perception, making exercises such as loading the truck, clearing debris, and pipe installation more accurate when judging distance from the bucket to the target. Better operators mean less chance of a mishap and more chance of achieving production goals.
