Forklift Simulator – an innovative startup company – has announced the release of a new virtual forklift training system. It will revolutionize training environments for operators at all levels, reducing costs while increasing safety and worksite productivity. The simulator combines the latest technology in 360° virtual reality headgear with an authentic driver’s seat and controls. It allows operators to hone their skills and increase their confidence in complete safety. They can practice safety procedures in a risk free environment and engage with an enjoyable and useful learning experience.

The benefits to companies are also significant, and include: increase productivity, no risk of damage to worksites or equipment during training , reduced forklift maintenance and lower training costs.

Completely customizable to match client’s worksite
The simulator can be setup to include different machines and hardware controls to create a tailor-made virtual learning experience for multiple drivers at a time. This virtual environment can also be fully customized, so operators only carry out handling tasks relevant to their actual worksite.

Andy van den Broeck of Forklift Simulator said, “We were one of the first to create virtual training technology for forklifts back in 2011 when we developed our first simulator for Toyota. Now we are launching under our own brand and the freedom has meant that we can focus on creating a product that doesn’t compromise. Compact, affordable and customizable, this Simulator will have a major impact on the productivity of worksites and dramatically increase cost efficiency, while improving safety.”
