Barrie Zoom Boom Ticket

Barrie Zoom Boom Ticket - Zoom Boom Training is designed to train operators on variable reach forklifts. The objectives of the training are to be able to impart an understanding of the physics of the machine, and to outline the operator's tasks. This program abides by North American safety standards for lift trucks. Zoom boom training and certification is available at our site or at the company's location, provided there are a minimum number of trainees. Certification given upon successfully finishing it is good for three years.

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

Telehandlers are most usually utilized together with the fork attachment in order to transport loads. The units have the advantage that they could reach places not accessible to standard forklifts. Telehandlers are capable of removing loads which are palletized from inside a trailer and placing them on high places such as rooftops. For certain applications, they can be more practical and efficient than a crane.

While lifting loads which are heavy, the telehandler could experience some instability. When the boom is extended too far with a load, the equipment would become more unstable. Counterweights in the rear help, but don't solve the problem. As the working radius increases, the lifting capacity rapidly decreases. Several machines come together with front outriggers which extend the lifting capacity when the machinery is stationary.
