How to use every machine

5-minute training by equipment type: the step-by-step, what to do, what to avoid and the safety. The most complete light-machinery academy in the world — free.

5 min

Rammer (jumping-jack)

The rammer compacts by impact: the shoe jumps and kneads the soil. It's the king of the narrow trench and cohesive soil (clay, silt).

1 machineOpen

5 min

Vibratory plate

The plate compacts by high-frequency vibration: ideal for granular soil, base, pavers and open areas. Fast and even.

5 min

Walk-behind roller

Walk-behind roller: weight plus vibration for base, walkways and asphalt patches where a big roller won't fit.

1 machineOpen

5 min

Trench roller

Remote-control padfoot trench roller: compacts the trench floor in cohesive soil with the operator at a safe distance.

5 min

Walk-behind trench roller

Walk-behind double-drum padfoot roller: compacts the trench floor in cohesive soil, guided by the handle (no remote control).

5 min

Ride-on roller

Ride-on roller: weight and vibration for roadways, embankments and asphalt. Output per pass over large areas.

5 min

Mixer

Concrete mixer: even mixing, on time. Proportion and load order decide the strength of your pour.

3 machinesOpen

5 min

Concrete vibrator

Vibration drives out trapped air and makes concrete dense and free of honeycombing. Good vibration is the line between a sound structure and a porous one.

4 machinesOpen

5 min

Power trowel

The power trowel gives the slab its mirror finish. It's all about timing: get on when the concrete is just right — not before, not after.

2 machinesOpen

5 min

Vibrating screed

The vibrating screed levels and compacts the pour's surface in one pass, leaving it ready for floating.

5 min

Light tower

The light tower keeps the site working safely at night. Well placed, it lights up without glare or shadows.

2 machinesOpen

5 min

Water pump

The pump dewaters trenches and excavations and handles water with the suspended solids typical on site. Priming and suction are the key.

2 machinesOpen

5 min

Hydraulic breaker

The hydraulic breaker shatters concrete and rock mounted on your carrier. Chisel technique —and never dry-firing— is what protects the tool.

3 machinesOpen

5 min

Concrete saw

The saw makes clean joints and cuts in concrete and asphalt. Wet cutting, a diamond blade and depth in passes: that's how the blade lasts and the cut runs straight.

1 machineOpen

5 min

Dumper

The dumper hauls material across the site without breaking backs. Centered load, walking speed and controlled dumping: simple and safe.

1 machineOpen

5 min

Stacker

The stacker lifts and stacks pallets in the warehouse with no back strain. Load stability and controlled height are the golden rule.

2 machinesOpen

5 min

Aerial platform

The platform (scissor or boom) takes the crew up to work at height safely. Firm ground, outriggers and harness are non-negotiable.

3 machinesOpen

5 min

Pallet truck

The pallet truck moves pallets at floor level with minimal effort. Picking the load right and pushing (not pulling) protects your back.

4 machinesOpen

5 min

Scaffold

Scaffolding gets your crew up safely — if assembled right. Level base, bracing and a full platform: the three pillars of not falling.

5 machinesOpen

5 min

Road signage

Signage protects the crew and traffic, and keeps you compliant. Visibility, advance warning distance and an orderly closure are everything.
