Zoom Boom Ticket Kelowna

Zoom Boom Ticket Kelowna - 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 machinery, and to be able to outline the operator's job. This program adheres to 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 trainees. Certification received upon successful completion is good for three years.

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

Telehandlers are most usually used with the fork attachment in order to transport loads. The units have the advantage that they could reach places inaccessible to standard forklifts. Telehandlers can remove palletized loads from inside a trailer and putting them on places which are high like for example rooftops. For some applications, they can be more practical and efficient than a crane.

The disadvantage of the telehandler is its unsteadiness when lifting heavier loads. As the boom extends with a load, the unit becomes ever more unsteady. Counterweights in the rear help, but do not solve the problem. The lifting capacity rapidly decreases when the working radius increases. Several machinery come with front outriggers that extend the lifting capacity while the equipment is stationary.
