Class 7 Rough Terrain forklift certification, commonly called Zoom Boom or Telehandler Forklifts requires a course that meets CSA/ANSI standards.  The Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health regulations for your operators are based based upon these 2 standards.

* COVID-19 and the current variant strain.  Have made training a bit more tricky lately.  Because of it, We are providing a blended online forklift operator license course.  In some cases we will provide a full hands on training program.  Call if you need a full hands on program to discuss safety protocols*

For the most part, while Covid-19 is still a factor that we all have to consider.  Our programs are being provided as a blended online course outlined below.

Theory training

Your operator completes the online training on a computer, tablet or smart phone.  During the course they will complete mini quizzes and have a final quiz at the end of the course.  Once they pass, they move on to the practical, in person part of training on the equipment.

Practical Training

Our trainer comes onsite and trains your operator in their working environment and on the equipment they use.  When the operator shows they are comfortable and the trainer is confident they can operate safely.  The trainer evaluates their ability to operate the equipment.  The trainer makes sure they can inspect, safely operate, and shutdown and park the unit properly.

Online training can take approximately 2-2.5 hours if they go through the course without stopping.  However, they have the option to start and stop at any point in the course to take care of their other work responsibilities.  They can start from the same place when they are ready.

Onsite practical usually takes a 1/2 hour to 1 hour.  Really depends on the experience and skill level of the operator.  Our job is to make sure you operator is competent to use the equipment safely and efficiently.  If they need more time with the trainer.  We give them more time.

At Onsite, we don’t believe in rigid schedules or making you wait any longer than absolutely necessary.  Some forklift operator training schools do.  Not Onsite.

Time in your business equals money.  So you can expect you won’t have to wait too long to get your staff trained.  With our blended forklift operator license program we only need a 1/2 to an hour with your operator.

We book on demand to keep our service a practical choice for you.  if a date is open and you want it.  its yours!  That simple.

If you need Zoom Boom Training in the city Winnipeg, there are zero travel costs.  For operator training outside of the perimeter we charge travel costs after the perimeter highway.  Contact us for details

Yes.

The standards require that you train and certify your operators with 2 basic elements in the Zoom Boom course.  These elements are 1 theory training and 2 practical training on the equipment that the operator uses.  All of our programs satisfy both elements.  The blended program gives you the most flexibility for your zoom boom operator training.

You can have employees complete the theory portion after work or stagger them at work.  This way you don’t have everyone away at the same time.  Like in a traditional course.

Once your employees complete the online theory training our trainer comes to the jobsite to complete the practical part of onsite zoom boom training and evaluation.  Again, we can take one person at a time.  This ensures the least amount of impact on your business operations.

Your employee is issued the zoom boom ticket/certificate of completion exactly like in the one you see on this page.

We don’t actually have a minimum with blended online courses.    If you chose a single course for one operator the cost is $235.00 and travel costs outside of the perimeter hwy.

Operators need a Zoom Boom refresher course 3 years after the date of training.  We both know they have different needs than beginners.  We treat them accordingly…It only makes sense.  If they have an incident or their zoom boom ticket is expired we will train them based on their level of experience.

We usually find that more experienced operators need to be reminded of some of the technical theory that applies to their ability to safely operate the zoom boom and we target bad habits learned over time.

Depending on the mobile equipment, the standards that are referred to by Regulations are the CSA and ANSI standards. (Canadian Standards Association and American National Standards Institute.  Each province will refer to one or both standards. In Manitoba both standards are recognized and IBR (Incorporated By Reference).

The process is very simple.  Contact us online by picking a plan, requesting a quote, or requesting a date for training.
