Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills required to configure, load, tow, manoeuvre and unload a multi-axle trailer coupled to a wheeled vehicle authorised to tow this type of trailer. Multi-axle trailers in this context are used to transport wheeled and tracked vehicles, containers and items of general cargo in a range of operating environments.This unit was developed for military drivers in a threat environment, but is applicable to any individuals who work in this field.The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to.Those undertaking this unit would work independently or as part of a team, under direct and indirect supervision, use discretion and judgement, and take responsibility for the quality of their output. They would perform routine tasks in a broad range of unpredictable contexts.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication. | ||
Duration and Setting | X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting. Competency should be demonstrated under a range of road transport operating environments towing a multi-axle trailer carrying various types of loads. Assessment will need to be undertaken on a number of occasions to provide the individual with the opportunity to demonstrate competence in manoeuvring a loaded trailer in a range of contexts and conditions. Competency should be assessed under a range of road and traffic conditions to assess performance in stressful conditions. The assessment should be conducted as part of a ‘long haul’ activity of extended duration loading and towing a number of types of cargo. The individual should be assessed in the interpretation of an instruction for a transport task requiring a multi-axle trailer, preparation and configuration of the trailer and the subsequent loading, restraint and protection of the load. The individual should then be assessed in coupling a trailer and driving the vehicle which includes the requirement to manoeuvre, brake, corner, reverse, push, overtake other vehicles and handle emergency situations. Assessors must satisfy the NVR/AQTF mandatory competency requirements for assessors. |
