Victoria Zoom Boom Ticket - Zoom Boom Training focuses on properly training potential operators on variable reach forklifts. The training objectives include gaining the understanding of the equipments physics and to define the job of the operator. This course adheres to 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.

A telescopic handler (otherwise called a telehandler) is similar in some ways to both a forklift and a crane. It is a versatile machine designed together with a telescopic boom which can lift upwards and extend forward. A variety of attachments can be fitted on the end of the boom, such as bucket, pallet forks, lift table or muck grab. It is popular in industry and agriculture settings.
The telehandler is a common used together with fork attachments in order 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 are capable of removing palletized loads from inside a trailer and placing them on high places like rooftops. For some applications, they can be more efficient and practical than a crane.
While lifting loads which are heavy, the telehandler can experience some instability. As the boom is extended too far with a load, the machine will become more unstable. Counterweights in the rear help, but don't solve the problem. The lifting capacity rapidly decreases when the working radius increases. Several machinery come with front outriggers which extend the lifting capacity whilst the equipment is stationary.
