Class Description

This simulation allows trainees to practice maneuvering and using a forklift in a virtual reality environment.  This sit-down counterbalance simulator matches real forklift dimensions and OEM controls, allowing operators to make their first mistakes in a risk-free environment.  After a couple of hours, trainees are ready for real forklift driving at your site.

This simulator accelerates training 4x to get new forklift operators on the floor faster and with confidence.  There are over 40 different true-to-life environments with a final test simulation.  Check out the simulator in action here.

Because this is a virtual reality environment, we suggest spending no more than 1 hour on the simulator at a time.  Please email Jessy (Jszabo1@gmail.com) to arrange a time to come use the simulator at CoorsTek Academy.
