1b training introduced into Soham

As part of our ongoing efforts to introduce IPAF training into our Soham Training Centre, we have this week run our first 1b Static Boom course. This course was arranged for a customer who had already completed their 3a Mobile Vertical and 3b Mobile Boom training at Soham and were adding 1b to this via the Add A Category option.

The 1b Static Boom category is probably the most diverse IPAF category due to it covering a range of different types of machines with similar features, all of which are required to be set up prior to elevating and cannot be driven whilst at height.

Types of machine covered by the 1b category are:

Trailer Mounted - as being used on the course right
Van/Vehicle Mounted
Truck/Lorry Mounted
Track Mounted (commonly known as Spider Lifts)
