MoD

 

With almost twenty years as providers of Training to the MoD, Red Rose have developed into a highly innovative Company, producing quality solutions for Transport and Construction Plant Training

We hope that a browse around our website will illustrate clearly both the variety and the quality of training on offer.

We believe that our Modular Course Format enables the most flexible approach to training, allowing clients to build a package tailored to their precise needs. If you require further details on any of our courses, please do not hesitate to telephone for more information. Occasionally, our standard course packages may not meet your specific requirements but it can be possible to provide a specially tailored course by combining individual training modules.

Many of our clients combine both Transport and Plant Courses or add Material Handling and Classroom Studies where time allows.

Our friendly and experienced administration staff will be happy to advise or answer any queries you may have.

It wasn’t so long ago that I was doing my own Resettlement Training, and with over forty years of military service behind me I am enthusiastic about having an opportunity to be associated with a company which specialise in providing first-rate Resettlement opportunities to Service leavers.
  
We enjoy the opportunity to discuss at length Resettlement Training and visitors to our Training Centres are most welcome – we’ll provide a mug of something hot and a bite to eat. A chance to view the facilities and accommodation, meet the staff and say hello fellow leavers who have already chosen Red Rose gives a valuable insight into the process. It really does help. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our website, and I hope that we may be of service to you in the future.

If you need any advice whatsoever on any aspect of Resettlement – from Jobs to Courses, Accommodation to Licences, etc, etc, please don’t hesitate to call, we’re here to help.

Good Luck and Best Wishes,

James Hill

360/180 Excavator Training

Excavators are used many different jobs and their size, weight and power make it essential that these machines are operated by accredited personnel who have successfully completed an appropriate 180 or 360 excavator training course.

Our approved Courses will enable successful candidates to:

• Identify the basic construction and components, and the purpose and use of all controls and gauges on the excavator
• Identify and comply with manufacturers instructions in accordance with the operator’s handbook, other information sources and applicable legislation (PUWER. LOLER).
• Carry out all pre-use and running checks.
• Set the excavator for site and road travel.
• Travel over varying types of terrain, including rough undulating ground and substantial inclines.
• Manoeuvre the excavator in confined areas using forward and reverse direction.
• Set the machine to excavate.
• Excavate below ground level on a variety of excavations in different ground types.
• Place spoil into various sizes of vehicles / hoppers.
• Grade, spread and level differing types of materials (excavators over 5 tonnes – using a multi-purpose front bucket).
• Remove and re-attach buckets

• Place the excavator in an out-of-service condition.
• Explain the loading and unloading procedures on and off a transporter.

 Lorry Loaders (HIAB)

A lorry loader (Hiab) is a Hydraulic powered articulating crane which fits directly onto the chassis of the lorry. A large number of lorries and trucks now have some form of Lorry Loader for ensuring the lorry’s ability to unload without the need for additional lifting equipment.

Accredited lorry loader (Hiab) training ensures that operators are fully qualified to operate a Hiab and are aware of the daily maintenance and checks that are necessary to ensure their safe operation.

 

Telehandler Training

A telescopic handler, or tele-handler as it is more commonly known, is a machine widely used in the building industry. It looks like a forklift truck but it is more like a crane than forklift, with the addition of a telescopic boom that can extend forwards and upwards from the vehicle. On the end of the boom the operator can fit one of several attachments, such as a bucket, pallet forks, muck grab, or lift table.

The most common attachment for a telehandler is pallet forks and the most common application is to move loads to and from places unreachable for a conventional forklift. For example, telehandlers have the ability to remove palletized cargo from within a trailer and to place loads on rooftops and other high places. The latter application would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient.

A very important site machine, widely used in Agriculture as well as Construction, this is a very valuable licence which adds some diversity to a CV.

 

 Forward Tipping Dumper Training Course

 The importance of this licence cannot be overstated, whilst the big three of excavators and tele-handler are certainly where the money is, the humble dumper is more often than not the key to the door.

This is the licence that will get a driver onto a site.

Why? Well, imagine the thoughts of the foreman as he considers if he will hire a complete novice for perhaps a few quid less or an experienced man. He doesn’t know either candidate, but he does know for sure that one of them won’t wreck his machine and the job will get done quickly – no contest, old hand hired.

Imagine now that you’re a dumper driver and you’ve been on site for a month. The foreman has had a chance to see that you’re good at what you do, you arrive on time, you’re willing and able. You’ll probably by this time have jumped on a machine to lend a hand or moved it around. You might even have bought him a beer after work. The foreman was young once, you’ve now got as good a chance or better than a stranger or someone who wants more money than you’ll take to start with. Very handy, the Dumper Ticket, very handy indeed.
