Kid Aerial Bundle Extractor Operator Training – Course Description
The Kid Aerial Bundle Extractor Operator training is a comprehensive, hands-on program designed to equip personnel with the knowledge and skills required to safely operate the Kid Aerial Bundle Extractor – a specialized hydraulic tool used in refineries and petrochemical plants to remove and replace heat exchanger bundles.
This training course is essential for individuals involved in maintenance and turnaround operations where aerial bundle extractors are used for high-elevation or confined-area bundle pulling. The training emphasizes safety, operational techniques, equipment maintenance, and understanding of the mechanical and hydraulic systems involved.
Trainees will learn about the core components of the aerial bundle extractor including the main frame, hydraulic system, boom, winch, and remote control panel. Special attention is given to pre-start checks, alignment techniques, and site safety protocols to ensure all operations are conducted in a controlled and risk-free manner.
Key safety elements covered include hazard identification, emergency stop procedures, fall protection systems, communication protocols, and working under permit-to-work systems. Operators will also be trained on how to troubleshoot basic issues, ensure the equipment is properly maintained, and how to respond in case of a malfunction.
Hands-on practical sessions are included, during which candidates will perform pre-use inspections, control tests, positioning, extraction, and reinstallation of bundles. Real-time scenarios are practiced under supervision to build operator confidence.
Upon successful completion, participants will be assessed through a written test and performance-based evaluation. A certificate of competence is issued to operators who demonstrate a thorough understanding and safe handling of the aerial bundle extractor.
This training ensures that operations are carried out efficiently and safely, reducing equipment downtime and improving overall plant safety and productivity. It is ideal for technicians, riggers, and maintenance personnel working in oil & gas, power plants, or industrial facilities where bundle pulling operations are routine.
