Major Dirtbox

Major Dirtbox offers supervised, hands-on experiences operating excavators, bulldozers, skid steers and dump trucks on a private training site in Yatala. Sessions are run by trained staff and suit individuals, groups and corporate team-building events.

Bookings are by appointment only; activities are suitable for teens and adults (some passenger rules apply for younger kids). The site also sells gift vouchers and appears on third‑party booking platforms.

What you'll do:

• Receive a safety briefing and basic controls demonstration from trained staff.
• Operate real heavy machinery under supervision: excavator, bulldozer, skid steer/loader and dump truck (dump truck drive requires a Class C licence).
• Try digging, loading and basic manoeuvres on a contained dirt site tailored for beginners and experienced drivers.

Best way to experience it:

• Book a weekday or early Saturday slot to avoid group crowds and allow more one-on-one coaching.
• Bring closed-toe shoes, weather-appropriate clothing and your car licence if you plan to drive the dump truck.
• Sessions run by appointment only; arrive 10–15 minutes early to complete waivers and safety checks.

• Open by appointment only; no walk-ins.
• Dump truck operation requires a provisional/probationary or open Class C car licence.
• Suitable for ages 12+ to operate; children from about 5 can ride in the dump truck as passengers.
• Bring closed-toe shoes and expect dirt; site is an outdoor industrial yard.
