Case Study: Toyotetsu America

  • Heavy Equipment Operator Simulator Training

How Toyotetsu America’s Onboarding Reduced the Use of Real Lift Trucks by 50% with Training Simulation

Toyotetsu America Incorporated (TTAI) operates more than 100 lift trucks to support their automotive parts manufacturing. In 2018 TTAI became a Simlog customer and has since trained about 600 Lift Truck Operators. The onboarding program consists of three steps:

  • Two days of classroom "orientation"
  • Half-day of training simulation
  • Half-day of “obstacle course” work at the controls of a real lift truck.

In addition, when an incident occurs on the shop floor and the “root cause analysis” points to a lift truck problem, the Floor Manager can send the operator back to the Forklift Personal Simulator for “refresher” training, to help improve the operator’s skills.
