Distinction is made between different types of attachment, capacity of the loader, remote controlled loaders and specialist equipment like tree machinery. These are categorised due to the individual skill requirements needed to operate these types of loader cranes safely and efficiently

If an operator is trained and certificated in the use of only a winch attachment (category 2), they are not permitted to use other types of attachment until conversion training has been undertaken. A certificated operator who is trained on the use of a loader up to 65 tonne metre capacity then they should not use a loader above 65 tonne metre capacity, (they can however, downsize to below 20 tonne metre).
