Target Audience

Employees working with a rolling bridge with cable operation and/or remote control.

Objectives

Acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to learn how to operate a rolling bridge effectively and safely.

To train operators so that they can preventively report defects/faults and thus prevent accidents/injuries. To teach operation and driving techniques to reduce damage to the environment caused by transport.
