Kristian Crane exercise

This is our truck with a crane. First the students learn to handle the crane, then they can connect a bucket with some water in and handle the crane with smoothness so no water is spilled. Here we also have a really high level of safety! For example: The helmet ALWAYS need to be kept on and such as never go under the crane or lifted load.

Kristian Student reversing 24 meter truck & trailer

In this moment we can see reversing exercise, it is very important that you learn good skills of handling the truck in revers, so IF you drive in to a wrong place, you can always take your way out of there. if you haven't notes the trailer in this pic, look in the mirror ;-)

Kristian Student learning

Here we have a student who is practising hos driving skills on a forklift. The practice exercise is that he has to unload a rack and load it over to a simulated truck on the other side. And safety is always important for us, you really have to work with your head and look around you before you reverse and drive around.

Kristian The Garage

Welcome inside our garage. This is the view inside the garage when all the vehicles are parked. And here we can see that 2 of the trucks has been loaded by the students. One load of cement blocks and a load of sand or gravel. Before the students load the cement blocks they have to make a calculation of how many safety bands they need for safe load.
