Heavy Equipment Help

Most all construction sites begin with dirt work. This means there are alot of heavy machines running around. Unaware operators and employees can be seriously hurt by these machines.

Also operators should be trained on the equipment they are using, and know how to inspect the equipment. For the industry I am in, we use alot of rough terrain forklifts, aerial lifts, and skid-steer loaders (bobcats). I have found that Caterpillar has an excellent website, that has videos and inspection forms for most heavy equipment. The only downside is, they are all in English. But is that really a downside?

Hope you find this site helpful.
