Kitchener Manlift Ticket - The Manlifts and Elevated Platforms course provides training on the rules, regulations and correct application of safe operating measures and work practices included in daily activities for people who work making use of this machine. The program 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, aerial platforms and manlifts have become a common sight on construction job sites and in industrial maintenance applications. These machinery provide an easy way to lift workers near what needs to be done on a stable platform apparatus, enabling workers to do tasks with greater comfort and safety rather than being perched on top of ladders or scaffoldings.
Similar to every other tool, manlifts are only safe when they are utilized correctly. Since they elevate staff above ground level or floor, accidents could happen easily and this can lead to serious injuries or death for both the operators of the manlift and any passerby who may be unlucky enough to be standing beneath.
Manlifts come in various models. The majority 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 vertically and horizontally.
