Forklift Simulator Activities - 8 hours
Students will begin training on forklift simulators. Forklift simulators put students at the controls of a typical "factory" forklift (also called "forklift truck" or "lift truck") with rear-wheel steering. Many different kinds of situations typical of factories, warehouses, and distribution centers are presented, in order to address the training needs of a wide variety of customers using different operational practices. Students will receive 8 hours of training on the forklift simulators (4 hours on the Forklift Personal Simulator and 4 hours on the Reach Lift Truck Personal Simulator).
