Ontario Zoom Boom Ticket

Ontario Zoom Boom Ticket - Zoom Boom Training is designed to train operators on variable reach forklifts. The goals 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 tasks. This program abides by 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 few individuals training. Certification received upon successful completion is good for three years.

The telehandler or telescopic handler is similar in several ways to a crane and a common forklift. This useful equipment is constructed along with a telescopic boom which can extend forward and lift upwards. Various attachments could be connected on the end of the boom, like for instance bucket, pallet forks, muck grab or lift table. It is popular in industry and agriculture settings.

The telehandler is a common used with fork attachments to enable the shuttling of loads. Telehandlers have the advantage of being able to reach those inaccessible places that can't be reached by a standard forklift. Telehandlers could remove palletized loads from within a trailer and putting them on high places such as rooftops. For certain applications, they can be more practical and efficient than 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 increasingly unsteady. Counterweights in the rear help, but don't solve the problem. The lifting capacity rapidly decreases as the working radius increases. Various equipment come along with front outriggers that extend the lifting capacity when the machine is stationary.
