In order to be a truly successful operator of the heavy equipment, you must be skilled, trained and experienced on multiple machines. At HCA, you will be trained on several machines. Some machines are operated in similar ways while others are more difficult. Three machines that are very much alike include the backhoe, loader, and excavator. 

The tree machines are very much alike in ways but are also very different in other ways. When you have been trained as an operator on all three, you will have no problem switching back and forth.
