London Zoom Boom Ticket

London Zoom Boom Ticket - Zoom Boom Training is intended 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 equipment, 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 obtainable at the company's location or at our site, provided there are a minimum number of people training. 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 versatile equipment designed with a telescopic boom that could lift upwards and extend forward. Different attachments can be connected on the end of the boom, like pallet forks, bucket, muck grab or lift table. It is popular in agriculture and industry settings.

Telehandlers are most usually used along with the fork attachment to transport 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 placing them on high places like for example rooftops. For some applications, they can be more efficient and practical than a crane.

The disadvantage of the telehandler is its instability when lifting heavier loads. As the boom extends with a load, the unit becomes ever more unstable. Counterweights found at the back help, but don't solve the problem. The lifting capacity quickly decreases when the working radius increases. Some machines come together with front outriggers that extend the lifting capacity when the equipment is stationary.
