Our Technicians Are Factory Trained

Hoffman Equipment has extensive training requirements to certify technicians and assure that they are properly equipped to service your machines. Our technicians are trained in equipment operation, diagnostics, maintenance, and repair. Hoffman combines classroom training with on-the-job experience for a thorough understanding of machine maintenance and repair. Safety regulations and procedures are emphasized throughout the training process.

Manufacturer Training

Because of our commitment to constant training, Hoffman Equipment maintains an "Elite Dealer" status with Manitowoc. Our technicians attend classes at Case's training center in Racine, WI and Manitowoc's Crane Care training centers in Manitowoc, WI and Shady Grove, PA, where they keep abreast of innovations with refresher courses on the latest technological advancements manufactured into today's construction equipment and cranes, such as computer monitoring and plug-in diagnostics. These classes are taught by certified specialists.

Both manufacturers host courses on the functions and performance of specific machines, which include preventive maintenance inspections, adjustments, tests, troubleshooting techniques, and repair procedures. There are also component courses, which provide more in-depth information for specialized technicians. As diagnostic equipment becomes more and more complicated, training is especially critical to maintain equipment properly and optimize operating time.

Testing is a critical component to these training classes and includes both hands on and written reviews of systems, such as electrical, pneumatics, hydraulics, ECOS, HED, PAT, EKS, and mechanical. Some of the tests require timed performance. Certificates are awarded upon successful completion of training.

Customer Training

Hoffman Equipment offers customer training classes at all locations. We provide skill training for operating a variety of machines and equipment to assure that best practices are used on-site with proper operating techniques and that the range of each machine's capabilities is understood.
