The updated VR Simulator is designed for optimum usability and performance with a smaller, lighter case for easier maneuverability and setup, as well as a wireless all-in-one VR headset for enhanced operator performance, comfort and longer immersive sessions. The simulator uses training modules that build on themselves to help operators reach higher proficiency levels faster and feel more confident before reaching the warehouse floor.

This experience, unlike any competitor’s offerings today, offers operations flexibility, as the simulator can be used on an actual lift truck and is controlled by plugging into The Raymond Corporation’s patent-pending sPort, or Simulation Port, or on a VR buck. In the simulated environment, operators are taken through a series of standardized lesson modules designed to introduce basic lift truck control and beginner skills while gradually increasing in complexity to build upon principles and best practices in earlier lessons, helping to develop more-engaged, proficient and productive operators.

The VR Simulator was born out of customer need to attract new talent to the industry and to increase operator proficiency levels faster and more effectively. Designed for customers across various sectors in the material handling industry, the Raymond Virtual Reality Simulator is the next generation in lift truck operator learning — providing advanced, hands-on instruction to improve operator skills and build confidence and to help retain employees and keep them learning.
