About this Course

An amphibious excavator is a specialized type of excavator designed for use in wetlands, swamps, marshes, and other aquatic environments. Unlike a normal excavator, which operates solely on land, an amphibious excavator is equipped with additional features that allow it to operate both on land and in water. Operating an amphibious excavator requires specific training due to its unique capabilities and the environments it operates in. Our program can provide operators with the necessary expertise to safely and efficiently use the equipment, including understanding its amphibious features, maneuvering in water, and operating specialized attachments.

Our online Amphibious Excavator Safety Training course is regulation-aligned and covers anatomy, stability, operation, hazards, and more to meet all OSHA classroom training requirements. You will be given a certificate of completion to print or download immediately upon finishing the program.
