CM Labs Simulations, global simulation training provider in the construction and ports industries, has announced the updated release of its Forklift Simulator Training Pack.

The Forklift Training Pack is the only simulation-based solution that exposes trainees to real forklift hazards and challenges. It offers a safe, effective, and comprehensive alternative for initial training. The simulation training mitigates increased fuel costs and wear and tear that typically result from inexperienced handling while addressing key industry issues such as labor shortages, safety, and sustainability.

Upgrades include improved graphics for better immersion, new virtual environments, and reworked exercises. The Forklift Training Pack’s progressive learning exercises gradually build skill and confidence. Trainees work on skills such as control familiarization, transporting, loading and unloading materials of varying sizes and weights, managing ramps, maneuvering tight turns, and braking. An exercise to prepare for certification and a “sandbox” for continued practice is included.

“The shortage of experienced operators highlights the importance of closing the skills gap,” said Alan Limoges, Construction Product Manager at CM Labs. “That’s why we are focused on providing the most immersive learning experience to deliver the world’s best training outcomes.”

The Forklift Training Pack is compatible with all of CM Labs’ Vortex® Simulators, including the desktop Vortex Edge Plus, the motion-enabled Vortex Edge Max, and the high-immersion Vortex Advantage. The Forklift is part of CM Labs’ range of lifting machines, making it ideal for training schools or companies with a wide range of equipment in their fleet.
