Kelowna Manlift Ticket - The Manlifts and Elevated Platforms course provides training on the regulations, rules and right application of safe operating measures and work practices involved in daily activities for those who work with this machine. The program has been designed for people who are actively involved in these activities or individuals who have a basic knowledge of this machinery.
In the last couple of decades, manlifts and aerial platforms have become a common sight in industrial maintenance applications and on construction job sites. These machinery provide an easy way to lift workers near what needs to be done on a stable platform apparatus, allowing employees to do tasks with greater comfort and safety rather than being perched on top of ladders or scaffoldings.
The manlift is like other industrial devices in that they are safe if utilized properly. Because they lift workers above floor or ground level, accidents could take place easily and this may cause serious fatalities or injuries for both the operators of the manlift as well as any passerby who may be unlucky enough to be standing beneath.
Manlifts come in various models. Most fit into 1 or 2 categories: the scissor lift, that is capable of moving upward and downward and the articulating boom lift, which can move both horizontally and vertically.
