In their words

Trainers and managers on the simulator

I have twice as many people practicing at the same time. Therefore I can prepare people for our operations twice as fast.
Hugo HorteOperations, Manufacturing & Logistics Manager, Ryder
The simulator reduces how long it takes for someone to feel confident and capable on a truck.
Austin NollDistribution Manager, MilliporeSigma
It’s much faster than training on real forklifts. You don’t have to inspect or maintain the equipment, and one trainer can lead a whole group.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is Forklift Simulator the industry standard?

We built the world’s first VR forklift simulator and won the Innovation Award at ProMat Chicago 2015. Today we serve 300+ customers in 13 countries and partner with major forklift OEMs.

  • Real OEM controls for an authentic experience
  • Curriculum built with expert forklift trainers
  • Data-driven insights on every trainee
Do you offer specific forklift brands or models?

Yes. We cover all major forklift classes with generic and brand-specific models. The Sit-Down CB and Desktop Stand-Up simulators use genuine Hyster/Yale controls, the Crown Stand-Up (CSU) simulates electric stand-up Crown trucks, and a Linde version of the Desktop Sit-Down is available.

What support do you offer for implementation?

The simulator is a turnkey solution:

  • Onboarding and success calls for setup and early use
  • LMS integration so trainers can track progress and results
  • Consultation with our master trainer to tailor training to your operation
Can everyone use VR?

Practically everyone. Comfort Mode uses mixed reality to ease first-time users in and reduce motion sickness, and a built-in virtual trainer guides each exercise. First sessions are kept short (2–3 minutes) to build tolerance. Headsets are not for children under 13.

Do I need a trainer on-site?

Not necessarily. Trainees can progress through the curriculum on their own, and customers successfully run both self-paced and trainer-led programs. We do advise that a trainer or supervisor is present for a user’s first session.
