“Certified long front excavators” seminar successfully completed

Working with a long front excavator is considered the pinnacle of excavator driving. It is therefore all the more pleasing that all 15 course participants passed the ZUMBau certificate course exam to become certified long front excavator operators with flying colors.

The company M. Korz Baggerbetrieb GmbH once again kindly provided its premises and company grounds in Enkenbach-Alsenborn as well as a long front excavator and attachments for the training course. It thus supported DA Service GmbH with the organization on site.

The participants were intensively trained in technical and professional matters, such as occupational safety, the processes and organization of demolition sites, the commissioning and decommissioning of the machine and also had to put what they had learned into practice on a current demolition site, the “Friedenskirche” in Hauenstein, in order to obtain the certificate.

Theoretical and practical examination

The main aim of the course is to teach the drivers how to work more safely and with less wear and tear with the long front excavator and to provide them with higher technical and organizational qualifications so that they can take on more responsibility and initiative in the field with the new specialist knowledge they have acquired. At the end of the course there was first a theoretical examination and then the practical examination, supplemented by the above-mentioned construction site examination.

We would like to congratulate all participants once again on their certificates and would like to thank M. Korz Baggerbetrieb GmbH, all the instructors and the companies LIEBHERR and ROTAR for their support!
