Zoom Boom Ticket Markham - Zoom Boom Training focuses on properly training prospective operators on variable reach forklifts. The training goals consist of gaining the understanding of the equipments physics and to define the responsibilities of the operator. This program abides by North American safety standards for lift trucks. Zoom boom training and certification is obtainable at our site or at the company's location, provided there are a minimum number of trainees. Certification given upon successful completion is valid for three years.
A telescopic handler (likewise called a telehandler) is similar in some ways to both a crane and a forklift. It is a useful equipment constructed together with a telescopic boom that could extend forwards and lift upwards. A variety of attachments can be fitted on the end of the boom, such as pallet forks, bucket, lift table or muck grab. It is popular in industry and agriculture settings.
Telehandlers are most usually used with the fork attachment in order to shuttle loads. The units have the advantage that they can get to places not accessible to regular forklifts. Telehandlers are capable of removing palletized loads from within a trailer and putting them on places that are high such as rooftops. For certain applications, they can be more practical and efficient compared to 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 more and more unsteady. Counterweights situated at the back help, but do not solve the problem. As the working radius increases, the lifting capacity quickly decreases. Various machines come together with front outriggers which extend the lifting capacity when the equipment is stationary.
