๐ ๏ธ Mini Dumper Training: Compact Machine, Big Responsibility
Mini dumpers are small but mighty machines, ideal for navigating tight spaces on construction sites, landscaping projects, and estates. Despite their size, mini dumpers can still pose significant risks when used without proper training.
At Kentra Training, we offer practical, compliant Mini Dumper Training to help operators work safely, efficiently, and within the law.

โ Why Is Mini Dumper Training Important?
Itโs easy to underestimate mini dumpers, but common incidentsโsuch as rollovers, tipping accidents, or poor load controlโoften happen due to inexperience or lack of formal training.
Operators must understand:
How to maintain balance while loading and tipping
Safe driving on inclines and soft ground
How to check for mechanical faults
The legal duties under PUWER and LOLER
Training reduces the chance of injury, equipment damage, or site delaysโkeeping your team and operations on track.
