The CPCS Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) course equips you with the skills needed to drive and operate the ADT on-site and on public highways.
The ADT is a heavy-duty vehicle, capable of carrying heavy loads across site and off-site without the need of a crane – it is a crucial plant vehicle for major infrastructure projects, and a highly rewarding role in construction.
If you’re in construction for the long haul and want to drive your career forward, ADT training can move you in the right direction.
