About Our Remote Control Mower Courses
These machines are designed to access places other mowers just can’t reach, safely. This raises the risks involved, such as machines over-turning, or striking hidden objects in their path. Maintenance of the machine, as with other mowers, is vital to staying safe and completing a job without breakdowns or unexpected delays.
Due to the very wide range of mowers on the market, it’s important to use the mowers that you’ll be using at work, so our instructors are available to train at your site with your machines.
The Legal Bit
It's a legal requirement for employers to provide operator training for their employees who use remote controlled mowers.
