Simlog's Forklift Personal Simulator (Version 2) delivers hands-on training for operating sit-down, counterbalanced forklifts with realistic rear-wheel steering. This comprehensive PC-based simulation platform supports OSHA Class 1, 4, and 5 forklift training, making it an ideal fit for workforce programs, logistics companies, and technical education centers.
Featuring life-like controls and immersive warehouse environments, the simulator enables trainees to build operational skills across various industrial settings. From navigating loading docks to precise pallet placement in racking systems, learners gain experience handling different load types and challenging layouts—safely and effectively.
With low total cost of ownership and no wear on physical equipment, the simulator helps reduce training-related downtime and accident risk. Version 2 introduces additional modules, reverse driving scenarios with tall loads, and complex dock configurations to reinforce real-world performance and productivity.
Key commercial features include:
Simlog's Forklift Simulator empowers organizations to deliver safer, more effective forklift training with measurable outcomes and long-term ROI.
The Forklift Personal Simulator includes high-quality control options that replicate the feel and layout of actual forklifts. Users benefit from realistic steering, lift and tilt levers, and pedal functionality—creating a training experience that mirrors real operations. Controls are USB-ready, modular, and can be mounted on a table or integrated into Simlog's Operator Chair.
Replica Controls include heavy-duty USB input devices that simulate actual forklift levers. You can choose three or four Forklift Levers, depending on the forklift configuration you want to replicate. A table-top mounting bracket positions the levers ergonomically beside a standard chair, closely mimicking real operator layouts.
Complete the setup with a commercial USB-ready steering wheel, a 3-pedal set, and Simlog's Transmission Control Lever. These components are compatible with multiple Simlog Personal Simulators, making them an economical choice for multi-system deployment.
Four configurations are available: single display (front), dual display (front and rear), triple display (front-facing landscape), and triple portrait plus rear for enhanced visibility and reverse training.
These durable cases include foam compartments for all controls, a laptop, cables, and accessories, with wheels and a telescoping handle for easy transport.
Simlog’s Operator Chair combines authentic control ergonomics with a comfortable industrial seat, featuring left- and right-hand control consoles, adjustable armrests, and a pivoting steering column. This platform-based unit includes three foot pedals, an integrated transmission control, and heavy-duty casters for mobility.
The modular design allows for configuration with three or four forklift levers. Adjustable components ensure that operators of all sizes can achieve a comfortable, accurate training posture.
Four display configurations allow forward and reverse viewing angles to teach spatial awareness and safe reverse operation techniques.

To enhance immersion, Simlog’s Operator Chair can be outfitted with a vibration system using the ButtKicker Simulation Kit. This system adds physical feedback triggered by in-simulation events like collisions or terrain contact.
Forklift simulators can be adapted for stand-up configurations, allowing one station to serve multiple types of lift truck training. Customers can integrate the Stand-Up Counterbalanced and Reach Lift Truck simulators with the same PC and display setup. Add-ons such as alternate mounting brackets and steering options make switching between modes seamless.
The simulator software replicates real forklift functionality with support for electric and internal combustion variants. Configurable lever options allow for accurate simulation of various forklift designs. The software is multilingual and compatible with Simlog’s PC bundle or your own off-the-shelf system.
Operators can toggle between internal and external views during training. Mast and cabin structures can be set as opaque or semi-transparent to improve visibility. Overhead maps aid in task planning and spatial orientation.
With 65 performance indicators, the software provides detailed feedback on speed, load handling, collisions, and safety violations. Fatal errors like tipping or dropped loads stop the simulation, reinforcing critical safety concepts.
A simulated forks-level camera aids in training for high-shelf operations. The feed appears automatically at low speeds and disappears during rapid motion, reinforcing real-world best practices.
