Hydraulic Equipment Training and Consulting

 

 

Training

In today’s world of regulations, liability, and costly equipment repairs, having quality employees and equipment is not enough. Always putting the job first without proper training can be costly in terms of lost time and possibly loss of even more valuable employees. Today’s job sites are increasingly being monitored by local, state, and federal regulatory agencies. Most feel these agencies are there to harass but in reality is with high worker turnover, and fewer people being raised around equipment and thought the proper operating techniques. If OSHA, for example, walks on a job site and asks for equipment operator licenses, how much can you afford to pay in fines?

 

We have two factory authorized JLG trainers on staff providing quality training of your employees on safe equipment operation, which shortens job timelines and increases profitability. We can train either at our facility or yours and on a wide variety of makes and models of equipment including all Aerial Work Platforms (Boom, Scissor, and Vertical Mast Lifts) as well as all Tele-handlers. With over 30 years of experience in the rental, training, equipment and personnel management fields,  our trainers not only have the experience, but more importantly understand the many issues you are being frustrated by.

 

Milling Technologies is a factory authorized JLG Service Center authorized by JLG to conduct operator training classes. We follow their guidelines and we do not cut corners. If you’re operators expect a quick video and a notional operation evaluation consisting of moving a piece of equipment move forwards and backwards to pass, then they would be mistaken. Our class includes detailed instruction on current regulations, the correct operation, and outlines safe practices with your equipment followed by two tests (written and hands on test). If our instructors feel your operators might damage your equipment/jobsite, or more importantly put the safety of themselves or fellow workers in danger, then they will not be given an operator’s license.

 

The average class runs from 6-8 hrs and can be conducted any time of the week. Class size is limited to 20 personnel.

Consulting

Milling Technologies realizes that if our customers succeed, then we succeed. We are here to assist our customers in being productive and profitable.
