Simlog’s Forklift Personal Simulator Version 2 puts trainees at the controls of a typical sit-down, counter-balanced factory forklift with rear-wheel steering. Training scenarios are typical of factories, warehouses, and distribution centers, with various loads and storage arrangements, truck bays for loading and unloading, and a flatbed truck outside.

Simlog’s Replica Controls for the Forklift Personal Simulator are the most cost-effective set-up option and feature industrial strength components suitable for table-top mounting and Simlog’s Operator Chair. If you are a Simlog customer, you may be able to re-use the Replica Controls that you already have.

You will need three or four USB-ready Forklift Levers. (The fourth lever controls the separation of the forks, so if you use three levers instead of four, the simulation software will change the separation of the forks for you.) Simlog’s table-top mounting brackets will bring the joysticks down from table-top height to the sides of an ordinary chair, to better mimic the positioning of real controls in the cabin of real heavy equipment.

To complete the Replica Controls, add the Logitech “G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel” consisting of a steering wheel and a three-pedal unit, and the “G920 Driving Force Shifter,” a gear shifter that can also be used with many other Personal Simulators. In most countries, the G920 is for sale in retail stores that sell computers or video games, but it may also be purchased from Logitech’s online store. Logitech’s previous version, the “G27 Racing Wheel” can still be used.

Key Benefits:

  • Easy to assemble USB controls
  • Lightweight and portable
  • Ability to create your own operator chair
  • 3 or 4-lever configurations available

Possible Setups

There are four commonly used arrangements, one with a single display in front, one with a first display in front and a second display in back (to teach people to turn their heads to look behind when backing up), one with three displays in front arranged side-by-side in portrait mode and one with three displays in front and a fourth display in back.

  • Space for a laptop PC, cables, and documentation
  • Pull-out handle, with multiple positions
  • Wheels (casters)
  • Cases are “stackable,” for easy transport.

Specifications

  • Overall dimensions: 30″ x 24″ x 19″
  • Approximate weight: 50 lbs. when empty, up to 100 lbs. when full (depending upon the Replica Controls.)

Simlog's Forklift training person simulator features fifteen modules of increasing difficulty. Module 4: Slalom 3 - Reverse, Tall Loads has trainees pick up the load, drive through the slalom course in reverse, and place the load on the floor at the target position defined by a red outline.

Simlog's Forklift training person simulator features fifteen modules of increasing difficulty. Module 11: Loading Docks 6, Loading, to Maximize Cube Utilization has trainees working with trucks at the loading docks, picking up each marked load from the loading dock and placing it at an appropriate position inside the truck.

The goal is to minimize wasted space with a compact arrangement of loads in the truck, either on the truck floor or stacked on other loads while giving special consideration to any tall or hazardous loads.

The Selective Pallet Racks 1 – Low Shelves module in Simlog’s Stand Up Counterbalanced Lift Truck Personal Simulator focuses on developing the precision and awareness required to place and retrieve pallets from low rack positions. Operators must carefully align forks, control lift height, and navigate tight aisle space—common challenges in real-world warehousing.

This demo shows how trainees build accuracy and confidence in low-level pallet handling, helping reduce product damage and improve efficiency in distribution centers. It's a foundational skill for both new learners and seasoned operators needing refresh training.

Module 15: Cantilever Racks and Flatbed Truck has trainees working with cantilever racks and a flatbed truck, picking up each marked load and placing it at its target position defined by an outline of the same color as the load, using the overhead map for guidance.

Simlog's Reach Lift Truck Personal Simulator puts you at the controls of a typical stand-up narrow aisle lift truck with a scissors-like pantograph to extend and retract the forks. Training scenarios are typical of warehouses and distribution centers where racking systems are tall and closely spaced to increase storage density.

  • Scalable, Immersive Operator Training with the Vortex Advantage

Scalable, Full-Immersion Operator Training Platform

The Vortex Advantage by CM Labs is a high-performance, full-immersion training simulator designed for hands-on, realistic instruction in heavy equipment operations. Engineered for flexibility and longevity, it supports a wide variety of crane and earthmoving equipment with hot-swappable control sets and scalable display configurations.

Built with a rugged steel frame and industrial-grade components, the Vortex Advantage withstands the demands of round-the-clock training—whether in classrooms or mobile trailers. Its three-screen and five-screen options offer lifelike equipment sightlines, while the motion platform replicates real equipment vibrations and movement, enhancing operator realism and skill transfer.

Operators can easily navigate training modules using a built-in touchscreen interface that replicates the operator dashboard, including LMI/SLI indicators, auxiliary controls, and more. Instructors benefit from built-in classroom management tools and optional instructor stations, enabling progress tracking, exercise switching, and even multi-simulator crew coordination for tandem lift training.
