Surely the best way of training is actually being in the machine like we have always done. Simulations are meant for things you can’t do for real like military combat training
@@mcspikesky where taking about a trade that the average person can do and can do without a license in most companies 😂 the ones your talking about cost a lot of money. A simulation is not better than the real thing you helmet lol
simulators are a lot cheaper; and you can run machines indefinitely without worry about fuel costs, mechanical failures or major accidents. It's an overall safer environment to train in, especially for new people who have never been around construction equipment. And the previous person is actually correct; almost everywhere you go you have to do some sort of training in a simulated environment before actually going out to your vehicle because it allows you to have the knowledge of how everything works beforehand and to prevent major accidents or even loss of life from inexperience happening.
Team Bandamek. Yes you are partly right But and I will say BUT. The supervisor or Lead MUST teach that new operator. Not just lay them off. Someone must be watching to correct any problems, and not just YELL at the guy or gal. In my lifetime I have witnessed a lot of layoffs, that could have been avoided by the supervisor just being a TEACHER. In my time out of Union Hall, there were many machines that had just about every different control pattern. They have greatly improved the modern backhoe. But maybe there is that different control pattern machine on the job that the new person has to operate.
This is a great tool for operators! We have been doing this in southern California for decades and with technology getting better and better helps alot. You can never take the seat time out but this gives new guys to the trade opportunities to learn a few things before hitting the job site. Surprising to see a company spend that kind of money on training a crew for other employers to steal from them. Must be getting a lot of tax credits.
I want to work for this organization… what a cool company to be a part of. They obviously care about the care and culture of their people! What a great way to be a valued member of an organization…
Y’all should go to the new Mitsubishi plant job when it fully kicks off. It’s going to be located in Bryan County, Georgia. They are already doing dirt work here.
That's awesome that a company cares that much about their employees. Wish I lived closer I'd go work for them but not sure they'd hire me as I work at a quarry running an excavator or a dozer and or a loader.
He aaron I've seen this recommended a few time and only realised it was your video just now, I think cause of the thumbnail. Just thought you should know cause if I knew it was yours first time round it'd have been watched a while ago.
You guys are wandering around in my back yard. Great video! I’ve often heard about HGCs training programs, but nothing beats actual real world experience.
@@hoopaughgradingcompanyllc8809 if you guys need an FAA certified drone pilot to come out and create 3d/2d photogrammetry of your projects I’m your man. I also have 20plus years in the Grading Industry. Check out my latest videos on my channel. I’m cutting my teeth in creating videos of the type of work I do.
Thank you for walking through the TRAINING building. So, Soo important like just how to read stakes. (Meat lovers) that was a big problem for me. I get that clicking noise on my excavator ( HULNA power) my control is the Dipper and boom are buttons. But I get that clicking bypass STOP digging noise my.(Horizon Hobby) off Road ( SCX-24) Red Deadbolt 4x4 goes a lot better in sand boxes. It doesn't get stuck, and I have 3 speed settings. The slow speed of the vehicle just crawling out of the deep rut. Back on training facility. In my state at Yakama Washington State. The operator Union (302) has a school at White Swan. To teach the same thing. The only problem was the Teacher had the Dozer students push a large amount of dirt. The issue we had with the student who got trained there. We were fine grading on the side of the road. The guy just pushed all the 5/8 minus out and dug a big hole. He said this is how he was trained to move dirt. In my Humble opinion the supervisor should have been teaching this new operator how to read stakes Fine grade with D-4 size of Dozer. Also if a rental comes out to job sit. And say it's a JD with different controls. We had that happen. I ended up on the machine, because years ago I got Layed OFF job for not knowing the JD control pattern. I even ran a Ford-420 with Ford 4 stick control. Very different than a Case 3 lever with foot swing. It took me time with that Farm Tractor with a backhoe on the back. The swing was a chain wrap around boom base. It would swing slow then take off fast. Very Dangerous for anyone standing by a bucket dump area. Everything in construction machinery has gotten so streamline. That there is possible an older make on job sight. That new operator need to understand the control of other brands of equipment. Just saying I have seen it, and for me it was back to the Hall, meany moon ago. I remember a huge (Poclain) we had digging main line sewers. That excavator had tons of levers in cab plus there were foot pedals attached to two of the Levers. If any of your watchers have seen these older ( Poclain's) around Thay know what I saw. Also (Warner & Swasey Hopto) they built a beast (1900) digging Depth of (35) feet. These had foot pedals plus hand levers for all functions. Years ago Case industry use to do a backhoe Rodio with each machine set up with different control pattern. It was fun to watch guys go from one backhoe to the next, trying to get the best time.
im not sure exactly if simulations should be the full training, I feel like "just doing it" is a lot more effective. However it is definitely a fantastic first step to get baseline levels of knowledge
Took a course at my local community college Lord Fairfax in VA and the simulator was cool but would’ve much rather had access to hands on training with the machinery.
We've found that a mixture of both simulator & live equipment is the best for us! Builds familiarity in a safe place, but will never replace the real thing!
