Surrey Zoom Boom Ticket

Surrey Zoom Boom Ticket - Zoom Boom Training is intended to train operators on variable reach forklifts. The goals of the training are to impart an understanding of the physics of the equipment, and to outline the operator's responsibilities. This program adheres to 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 individuals training. Certification received upon successfully completing it is valid for three years.

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

Telehandlers are most usually used together with the fork attachment to shuttle loads. The units have the advantage that they can get to places inaccessible to regular forklifts. Telehandlers are capable of removing loads that are palletized from within a trailer and placing them on high places such as rooftops. For certain applications, they could be more efficient and practical than a crane.

When lifting loads which are heavy, the telehandler could experience some unsteadiness. When the boom is extended too far with a load, the equipment will become more unstable. Counterweights in the rear help, but don't solve the problem. As the working radius increases, the lifting capacity rapidly decreases. Various equipment come with front outriggers which extend the lifting capacity while the machine is stationary.
