Prerequisites:
The Training program has no pre-requisite units. However, EWPs require operators to have a thorough understanding of the risks associated with using them. This includes being able to read and understand technical information such as instructions for emergency lowering systems, wind speed ratings, variable rated capacity restrictions, operator’s manuals, risk assessments and logbook checklists.
Participants should be 18 years of age. Operating restrictions apply for those under 18 years of age.
Course Introduction:
The Knuckle boom lift licence training course covers the correct use and handling of knuckle booms including information about truck mounted, electric, and all-terrain diesel units.
A boom lift elevated work platform has the ability to telescope or rotate unlike a scissor lift EWP that can only move the platform in a vertical direction. Knuckle boom lifts can be self propelled, trailer, or truck mounted. The Elevated Work Platform Associations Yellow card training program is designed to fill the void where there is no High Risk Work licence available.
Upon successful completion of the Yellow card training program recipients will be able to operate a knuckle boom lift up to 11 metres.
