VR training simulator

Narrow aisles.
Zero damaged stock.

A VR (virtual reality) simulator that trains people to drive a battery operated pallet truck (BOPT). Trainees practise steering, slow speeds and busy aisles until it feels natural. It links to your warehouse software, so they practise the same jobs your floor gives out every day.

The problem

BOPT drivers work where space is tight and people walk.

A BOPT works in narrow aisles, close to racks and people. New drivers learn on live trucks, in busy shifts. That is when racks get hit, pallets get dropped and people get hurt.

Benefits

Why train on a simulator

The BOPT Simulator copies real working conditions in VR, so drivers build skill safely before they work on your floor.

01

Trucks stay at work

Practice happens in VR, so no truck leaves the floor and no battery charge is used.

02

Safe near people

Trainees learn to share aisles with people on foot, without putting anyone at risk.

03

Clear proof of skill

Every move is scored, so trainers and insurers can see who is ready.

04

Your own warehouse

Lessons use your real aisles, racks and jobs from your warehouse software.
