Operating a PC490HRD-11 requires a machine operator's licence for excavators, typically class M2. Hesselberg offers heavy equipment operator courses for certification and skills development. Depending on the project, working at height and fall protection training may also be relevant.
As a Komatsu dealer in Norway, Hesselberg offers the full HRD series, as well as a wide range of Komatsu excavators for various construction and demolition projects.
