CLTAP COVID Policy.pdf

Please note: this is for the FRONT-END LOADER portion of the week ONLY. The session will run 1pm = 5pm on Wednesday and 8am-4pm on Thursday and Friday. If you and/or your agency has already registered for a Backhoe session, you may not register for this class. If, nearer to the date, registration is not full, agencies will be allowed to register more participants.

To maximize on-the-equipment time during this in-person course, training includes use of the VISTA e-Learning training system. Each participant is to complete a 90-120 minute, self-study, online course prior to arrival.

The in-person, hands-on course begins with a verbal “reconnect” to the topics taught in the online course and is followed by the importance of the operator’s manual, how to do a complete pre-operational inspection and best practices for various operational tasks designed for participants to accomplish with the wheel loader. For example:

•  Mount with 3 points of contact and perform a proper startup.
•  Techniques to completely fill the bucket.
•  Use the loader bucket to move a stockpile from one area to another.
•  Load a truck (or simulated truck) from a stockpile, centering the load.
•  Use of V loading patterns for efficiency.
•  Back drag the work zone creating a level area.
•  Perform a proper shutdown and dismount with 3 points of contact.

Colorado LTAP is excited to bring heavy equipment training to Colorado!

In partnership with Vista Training, Inc, participants will complete an online course prior to gaining hands on hands on guided experience for 2.5 days.
