This task involves smooth operation of equipment controls, effective set-up of machine for task at hand, the installation and removal of attachments and monitoring of equipment performance.
Task 6 Performs basic heavy equipment operator (excavator) functions. These regulations affect what a heavy equipment operator has to do to the equipment before it can be moved.
There are more stringent regulations around the spread of contaminants such as noxious weeds, bugs and other biological contaminants. These attachments have greatly expanded the capacity and role of the excavator. There is a growing list of attachments that can be secured to the excavator such as compactor, hoe-ram, thumb, sheers, forks, sweeper and ripper. More efficient engines and transmissions, the use of GPS, and wireless technology have helped improve worker efficiency. New ergonomic controls and new cab designs not only improve ease of use and heavy equipment operator awareness, but also reduce their fatigue and injury. Steering levers are being replaced by pilot controls and in some cases steering wheels (wheeled excavators).Īdvancements in technology are allowing workers to perform their duties with improved efficiency and safety. Heavy equipment operator (excavator) functions are becoming more complex and precise, for example pilot controls which incorporate multiple control functions, and electrical over hydraulic functions.
