Vernon Zoom Boom Ticket

Vernon Zoom Boom Ticket - Zoom Boom Training is intended to train operators on variable reach forklifts. The goals of the training are to be able to impart an understanding of the physics of the equipment, and to be able to outline the operator's responsibilities. This program abides by North American safety standards for lift trucks. Zoom boom training and certification is obtainable at the company's location or at our site, provided there are a minimum number of trainees. Certification received upon successful completion is good for three years.

A telescopic handler (also known as a telehandler) is similar in some ways to both a crane and a forklift. It is a useful equipment made together with a telescopic boom that can lift upwards and extend forward. Various attachments could be connected on the end of the boom, like for instance pallet forks, bucket, lift table or muck grab. It is popular in industry and agriculture settings.

The telehandler is a common used together with fork attachments to be able to allow the shuttling of loads. Telehandlers have the advantage of being able to reach those inaccessible places that cannot be reached by a standard forklift. Telehandlers could remove palletized loads from within a trailer and putting them on places that are high like for instance rooftops. For certain applications, they can be more efficient and practical than a crane.

The disadvantage of the telehandler is its unsteadiness when lifting loads which are heavier. As the boom extends with a load, the unit becomes increasingly unstable. Counterweights found at the back help, but don't solve the problem. As the working radius increases, the lifting capacity rapidly decreases. Various machines come with front outriggers which extend the lifting capacity when the machine is stationary.
