Nanaimo Zoom Boom Ticket - Zoom Boom Training focuses on properly training potential operators on variable reach forklifts. The training goals include gaining the understanding of the machine's physics and to be able to define the tasks of the operator. 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 individuals training. Certification given upon successful completion is good for three years.
A telescopic handler (likewise referred to as a telehandler) is similar in some ways to both a crane and a forklift. It is a versatile machine constructed with a telescopic boom that can extend forwards and lift upwards. A variety of attachments can be connected on the end of the boom, like for example pallet forks, bucket, muck grab or lift table. It is popular in agriculture and industry settings.
Telehandlers are most commonly used with the fork attachment in order to shuttle loads. The units have the advantage that they could reach places inaccessible to regular forklifts. Telehandlers can remove loads which are palletized from within a trailer and putting them on high places like rooftops. For certain applications, they can be much more practical and efficient than a crane.
When lifting loads that are heavy, the telehandler could experience some instability. When the boom is extended too far with a load, the machine would become more unstable. Counterweights situated at the back help, but do not solve the problem. The lifting capacity rapidly decreases when the working radius increases. Some machinery come together with front outriggers that extend the lifting capacity when the machinery is stationary.
