Using An Excavator Requires Precision

Most people assume that heavy equipment relies more on grunt than finesse. However, using an excavator often requires more finesse than grunt.

Excavators are often require to dig trench to precise measurements, at time with gas or water pipes nearby. You cannot afford to make mistakes in those situations. At other times, you may be required to lower pipes or other heavy objects and these need to be lowered with precision. Heavy equipment operators that control excavators need to learn some of these precision movements.

The following short video shows exactly how precise an operator can be when required. I don’t recommend you try it at home. I do recommend ATS Heavy Equipment Training Schools if you really want to learn the skills to be an excavator operator.
