This lesson introduces the mandatory Class 3 truck equipment checklist and explains why every item must be present, maintained, and correctly stored before commencing operations.
Class 3 vehicles operate in high-risk environments where delays, breakdowns, or missing equipment can create safety risks, operational disruption, or non-compliance with contractual obligations.
This lesson ensures drivers understand the importance of vehicle readiness, correct equipment storage, and responsibility for maintaining a fully operational truck at all times.
This lesson explains the correct and safe procedure for hooking up and towing heavy vehicles using the front lift method. These recoveries involve high-risk environments, complex vehicle systems, and significant safety considerations for both operators and the public.
Drivers must understand how to safely assess the scene, inspect the vehicle, lift and secure it correctly, and monitor the tow from departure through to delivery. This lesson ensures operators understand the risks involved and the steps required to minimise damage, maintain safety, and meet operational and legal requirements.
This lesson explains the safe preparation, equipment selection, and techniques required to recover bogged vehicles. Operators will learn how to minimise risk, protect equipment, and ensure safe recovery practices when using winches, jacks, straps, and other recovery tools.
