Skid-Steer Loader Training

Our Skid-Steer Loader training will certify operators to operate/continue operating skid-steers in their workplace. Students will gain valuable life preserving information, and safe operational habits for skid-steer use. This training is delivered in accordance with CSA B335 Safety Standard for Lift Trucks

The course is interactive, and as applicable to the work environment as possible. If the client has their own machines, we will train with those machines. Otherwise, we’ll run the training at a local Cooper Rentals location and use their machine.
