Get in Touch

    Our Forward Tipping Dumper training course is tailored for organisations aiming to certify their workforce in the safe and effective operation of Forward Tipping Dumpers. Our program combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, ensuring your employees gain the confidence and competence required for safe and efficient on-site operations.

    What is a Forward Tipping Dumper?

    A Forward Tipping Dumper is a compact and versatile construction vehicle designed for transporting and tipping a variety of materials such as soil, gravel, or debris on worksites. Equipped with a front-mounted skip that tilts forward for unloading, these machines are commonly used in industries like construction, landscaping, and utilities.

    Forward Tipping Dumpers are favoured for their manoeuvrability, allowing operators to navigate tight spaces and uneven ground.

    Upon successfully completing the training and assessments, participants will receive a NPORS CPCS Red Trained Operator Card, valid for two years. This certification is recognised nationwide and demonstrates the driver’s competence as a Forward Tipping Dumper operator.

During this two-year period operators will be required to register for and achieve the requisite (S)NVQ with the unit credits applicable to the categories of plant stated on their Trained Operator card.
