These scenarios cover real-world driving are grouped into unique training courses.

  • Page 33: Articulated Boom Lift

    arTiCul aTed booM lifT Drive Forwards This scenario teaches the basic functions of the equipment and controls, as well as the use of the simulator. The trainee is not required to use any of the booms to complete it, as they are simply driving forward to the specif ied location located by the arrow (goal).
  • Page 34 arTicul aTed boom lifT U-Turn Teaches basic steering, turning radius, and counter- steering to navigate tight spaces. Obstacles are set up to encourage the trainee to be especially careful while navigating the turn. Truck Loading Requires the trainee to drive onto the back of a truck, demonstrating precise control of the wheels and steering.
  • Page 35 arTicul aTed boom lifT Basket Position 2 Continues teaching basket positioning requiring boom extension and jib movement for extra reach. This scenario introduces obstacles that require precise control to avoid while maneuvering the booms. Slalom Left Teaches complex steering and familiarization with the turning radius.
  • Page 36 arTicul aTed boom lifT Articulated Reach The trainee must navigate a complex course along a safe incline until they reach a flat area where they can extend the boom over the incline and into the work area. Setting up on a slope is a very common error in the f ield, and one that runs counter to the design and capability of an articulated lift.
  • Page 37 arTicul aTed boom lifT Sharp Incline In this deceptively simple scenario, the trainee must drive down a safe incline. To achieve this goal without slamming the basket onto the ground, they must use the jib control to raise the basket while compensating for the lever effect of the stowed boom.
  • Page 38 arTicul aTed boom lifT Rough Terrain The trainee must navigate an open course on rough terrain which includes a shallow ditch. Success depends on feathering the controls, managing speed, and approaching the ditch f rom the correct angle by understanding the oscillating axle. Advanced Boom Up and Down The trainee must drive up to the open ironwork construction, rotate the basket inside, and then use the...
  • Page 39 arTicul aTed boom lifT Basket Position 3 In this scenario, the trainee once again practices basket positioning, but this time while moving around complex obstacles. This will require the trainee to use every positioning skill learned so far, with the added diff iculty of working at extreme height.
  • Page 40 arTicul aTed boom lifT Advanced Boom Narrow In this scenario, the trainee will have to utilize the full complement of skills learned in the previous scenarios. Driving through a narrow corridor, rotating the basket into tight spaces and extending to near-maximum limit to reach precise targets will be required.

  • Page 42: Rough Terrain Scissor Lift

    rough Terrain sCissor lifT Navigation - Slopes In this scenario, the trainee must navigate a maze of obstacles and unsafe areas to get to their goal. They are tempted to drive across unsound platforms and up too- steep slopes and must choose the safest path through the scenario.
  • Page 43 rough Terrain scissor lifT Trench There is a large trench in the middle of the worksite in this scenario. The trainee has to drive into and back out of the trench in the safest way possible. They will have to f ind a slope that is not too steep for their machine and drive carefully through the rough terrain to get to the goal.
  • Page 44 The trainee needs to work out which way the MEWP is orientated and bring in the deck before lowering and driving to a similar position at the opposite end of the building.
  • Page 45 This scenario is a reverse of the previous scenario. The trainee starts on the bed of a truck and must drive the MEWP down a ramp to reach a goal. This simulation does not cover the full procedure for unloading a MEWP.
  • Page 46 In this scenario, the trainee must drive down a slope and around some hazards to a dirt area near a building. They will learn how to level the MEWP on uneven and rough terrain and then raise to full height.
  • Page 47 rough Terrain scissor lifT Rough Terrain Scissor Lift PAL+ Practical Examination The trainee is required to drive through a restricted area, while demonstrating good control and avoiding all collisions.

    sl ab sCissor lifT Intro to Movement This scenario begins with a full explanation of the controls used in a scissor lift as well as those specif ic to the simulation. We suggest using this scenario as an introduction to the simulation. After the controls are explained, the trainee will be asked to drive forward, raise and lower the basket, and drive around the corner, proving that they understand the controls.
  • Page 49 sl ab scissor lifT Extending Deck In this scenario, the trainee needs to get the basket within reach of a maintenance box. They will have to drive the vehicle into a narrow space, raise up to the appropriate height, and extend the deck to reach the box.
  • Page 50 sl ab scissor lifT Choose Incline This scenario requires the trainee to make a decision. There are three slopes that lead to the goal. The safest route is the most indirect, but the trainee will be penalized for taking more direct but unsafe routes. Slab Practical Training This scenario represents the practical part of a training exam.
