Inclusions
These TLID0017 training resources help your RTO prepare learners to check a side lifter, secure the work site and complete ground-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-ground and vehicle-to-vehicle container moves, with editable documents that support delivery planning and assessment preparation.
The TLID0017 learning materials work through rated lifting capacity, ground and overhead checks, exclusion zones, twist locks and load securing, giving trainers a clear sequence they can adapt to their equipment.
These TLID0017 RTO materials help assessors gather evidence of safe container loading, unloading and transfer with a side lifter.
Key Benefits
These resources support delivery of TLID0017 Operate container side lifter by helping learners identify load lifting capacity, inspect the side lifter and ancillary equipment, and check ground stability and overhead obstacles before a lift. Trainers and assessors can use them to structure activities around deploying stabiliser legs, attaching and adjusting lifting equipment, placing containers on twist locks and preparing the vehicle for on-road travel.
Your RTO should still carry out independent validation to confirm alignment with your specific delivery context and learner cohort, as required under the Standards for RTOs. Use the assessment mapping as your starting point.
