Training programme rolled out across Southern Africa
Caterpillar earthmoving- equipment dealer Barloworld Equipment has introduced an advanced master class hydraulic hose assembly training programme, being rolled out across all its operating centres in Southern Africa, ensuring that the highest levels of competence are maintained in accordance with industry safety, health and environmental legislation.
Barloworld Equipment group product specialist Paul Verwey says that the training is in accordance with the Manufacturing, Engineering and Related Services Sector Education and Training Authority unit standards for hydraulic hose assembly, with qualifying candidates receiving South African Qualifications Authority certification.
“Original equipment manufacture specification training is provided by a Caterpillar instructor, with final competence determined by a Barloworld Equipment accredited assessor,” he explains.
The weeklong training course places equal emphasis on theory and practice to ensure a comprehensive understanding of hydraulic system functionality and correct hose assembly techniques. This is then followed by a competence trade test.
This training initiative forms part of an ongoing expansion in Barloworld Equipment’s hydraulic after-sales customer support strategy.
In the last year, the company has invested in new state-of-the-art Caterpillar hydraulic hose presses, with 39 currently installed across its service centre network. These hose presses cater for both reusable and No-Skive couplings for all Caterpillar machine classes.
