Manlift Ticket BC - The Manlifts and Elevated Platforms course offers training on the rules, regulations and proper application of safe operating procedures and work practices involved in daily activities for individuals who work with this equipment. The program has been designed for individuals who are actively involved in these activities or those who have a basic knowledge of this equipment.
Aerial platforms and manlifts have become common and integral machines in industrial settings in the last few decades. These machines provide an easy way to lift workers near what should be done on a stable platform apparatus, allowing staff to do tasks with greater safety and comfort rather than being perched on top of scaffolding or ladders.
The manlift is like other industrial devices in that they are safe if utilized properly. As they elevate workers above ground level or floor, accidents could easily happen and this could result in serious injuries or death for both the operators of the manlift and whoever passerby who might not be lucky enough to be standing beneath.
Manlifts come in a variety of types. The majority fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, that is capable of moving upward and downward and the articulating boom lift, which can move both vertically and horizontally.
