Zoom Boom Ticket BC

Zoom Boom Ticket BC - Zoom Boom Training focuses on correctly training prospective operators on variable reach forklifts. The training objectives include gaining the understanding of the equipments physics and to be able to define the job of the operator. This course abides by North American safety standards for lift trucks. Zoom boom training and certification is obtainable at our site or at the company's location, provided there are a minimum number of trainees. Certification given upon successful completion is good for three years.

A telescopic handler (otherwise known as a telehandler) is similar in some ways to both a forklift and a crane. It is a versatile equipment designed with a telescopic boom which can extend forwards and lift upwards. Different attachments could be fitted on the end of the boom, like for instance pallet forks, bucket, muck grab or lift table. It is popular in agriculture and industry settings.

The telehandler is a common used with fork attachments to be able to enable the transporting of loads. Telehandlers have the advantage of being able to reach those inaccessible places which cannot be reached by a common forklift. Telehandlers are capable of removing palletized loads from inside a trailer and putting them on high places such as rooftops. For some applications, they can be a lot more efficient and practical compared to a crane.

The disadvantage of the telehandler is its unsteadiness when lifting heavier loads. When the boom extends with a load, the unit becomes increasingly unstable. Counterweights in the rear help, but do not solve the problem. The lifting capacity quickly decreases as the working radius increases. Some equipment come with front outriggers which extend the lifting capacity while the equipment is stationary.
