Victoria Manlift Ticket - The Manlifts and Elevated Platforms course provides training on the rules, regulations and proper application of safe operating measures and work practices involved in daily activities for people who work with this machine. The course has been designed for people who are actively involved in these activities or those who have a basic understanding of this machinery.
In the past couple of decades, manlifts and aerial platforms have become a common sight in industrial maintenance applications and on construction job sites. These machines provide an easy way to lift staff close to what needs to be carried out on a stable platform apparatus, enabling workers to do tasks with greater safety and comfort rather than being perched on top of ladders or scaffoldings.
The manlift is like other industrial devices in that they are safe when used correctly. As they elevate workers above ground level or floor, accidents can occur easily and this could lead to serious fatalities or injuries for both the operators of the manlift as well as any passerby who might not be lucky enough to be standing below.
Manlifts come in a variety of kinds. Most fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, which is capable of moving up and down and the articulating boom lift, which can move both horizontally and vertically.
