Vancouver Zoom Boom Ticket

Vancouver Zoom Boom Ticket - Zoom Boom Training is designed to train operators on variable reach forklifts. The objectives of the training are to impart an understanding of the physics of the machine, and to outline the operator's tasks. This course follows North American safety standards for lift trucks. Zoom boom training and certification is accessible at the company's location or at our site, provided there are a few individuals training. Certification given upon successful completion is valid for three years.

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

Telehandlers are most usually utilized along with the fork attachment to transport loads. The units have the advantage that they could reach places inaccessible to standard forklifts. Telehandlers are capable of removing loads that are palletized from within a trailer and placing them on places that are high like rooftops. For some applications, they can be much more practical and efficient compared to a crane.

The disadvantage of the telehandler is its instability when lifting loads that are heavier. When the boom extends with a load, the unit becomes ever more unstable. Counterweights in the rear help, but do not solve the problem. The lifting capacity quickly decreases when the working radius increases. Some machines come with front outriggers which extend the lifting capacity when the machine is stationary.
