Forwarder Simulator Training Pack

Overview

The Forwarder Simulator Training Pack was developed in collaboration with industry experts and allows trainees to experience challenging scenarios in a completely immersive environment.

Every simulated machine component is backed by precise engineering specifications provided by Tigercat Industries to ensure realistic behavior and maximum training value. Students gain exposure to the largest and widest variety of simulated terrains on the market, and as a result, transition faster and more effectively to the real equipment.
