Seattle Zoom Boom Ticket

Seattle Zoom Boom Ticket - Zoom Boom Training is intended 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 equipment, and to be able to outline the operator's tasks. This course follows North American safety standards for lift trucks. Zoom boom training and certification is accessible at our site or at the company's location, provided there are a minimum number of trainees. Certification received upon successfully completing it is valid for three years.

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

Telehandlers are most commonly used together with the fork attachment to transport loads. The units have the advantage that they can reach places not accessible to regular forklifts. Telehandlers could remove loads that are palletized from inside a trailer and putting them on places that are high such as rooftops. For certain applications, they could be more practical and efficient as opposed to a crane.

While lifting heavy loads, the telehandler can experience some instability. As the boom is extended too far with a load, the machinery would become more unsteady. Counterweights in the rear help, but do not solve the problem. The lifting capacity quickly decreases as the working radius increases. Various equipment come with front outriggers that extend the lifting capacity while the machinery is stationary.
