A key factor affecting your dragline productivity is the expertise of your operation and maintenance personnel. We offer extensive dragline training to improve the skills of your dragline operators and maintenance technicians.
Operator training
New operator training covers the basic functional controls of the machine, as well as the core operational tasks: walking, setup to dig, digging cycle, and digging sequence. In addition, we provide training for all types of modes, including highwall cutting, overhand digging, and efficient spoiling. Finally, we can provide refresher training for veteran operators to hone skills and develop best practices.
