Train and evaluate forklift operators in plants and distribution centers: real controls, load physics, and automatic per-operator scoring.
Request a quoteThe APEX forklift simulator trains and evaluates forklift operators in plants, distribution centers, and warehouses with real controls, load physics per forklift type, and automatic per-operator scoring.
A forklift in an aisle full of people is one of the most underestimated risks in any operation: accidents cost injuries, merchandise, and line stoppages. In the simulator, operators train narrow-aisle maneuvers, high stacking, and coexistence with pedestrians without putting anyone at risk — and mistakes get corrected before they climb onto the real equipment.
PepsiCo certifies the forklift operators at its distribution centers with APEX simulators, and operations like Grupo Bimbo, Grupo Modelo, Alpura, Bepensa, and Nissan's corporate university train on our forklift equipment across the country.
Grupo Bimbo trains 400 forklift operators across its plants and distribution centers on APEX simulators, and earns their DC-3 certification (Mexico's official workforce training certificate) at half the cost.
Industrial force-feedback steering and controls per forklift type: it feels like the real equipment.
Speed, braking, maneuvers, violations, and operating errors for every forklift operator, in real time. Everything is stored in the cloud with no possibility of editing and validated by fingerprint: solid evidence for internal certification and safety audits.
The simulator is only half the story: the software recreates the real accidents from your operation, measures every session, and delivers the results in the cloud.
Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and the Bajío region: on-site service nationwide.
When the warranty ends, the annual service plan covers preventive and corrective maintenance and ALL simulator spare parts — travel expenses included.
Your after-sales hub: support tickets, service records and each unit's full history — in the cloud, in real time.
Broken levers, impacts, operator error: real rough use is covered. Your equipment never sits idle over a mishap.

The questions we hear most from plants, distribution centers, and corporate universities.
It's a professional system with the complete operator station of a forklift — an industrial force-feedback steering wheel, joysticks per equipment type, pedals, and a smart seatbelt — on a 3-degree-of-freedom motion platform. It's used to train new hires, recertify operators, and evaluate operating habits without risking people, product, or equipment.
Plants, distribution centers, and corporate universities certify their forklift operators with APEX simulators — PepsiCo does it at its distribution centers. In transportation and logistics: Coca-Cola FEMSA, PepsiCo, Grupo Bimbo, Barcel, Bachoco, Arca Continental, Grupo Modelo, Danone, Alpura, Grupo Lala, Bepensa, Estafeta, Coppel, Liverpool, Soriana, OXXO, and PEMEX, along with federal motor carriers Tres Guerras, Fletes México, HG Transportaciones, and TUM. In public transit: Mexico City's RTP passenger bus network — which acquired the country's first electric bus simulator — and state training programs in Jalisco, Sonora, San Luis Potosí, and Campeche. In driver's license testing: the Government of the State of Guanajuato — the largest program in the country, with more than 300,000 exams administered —, the state Ministry of Mobility of Jalisco, Nayarit, and San Pedro Garza García. In public safety and defense: Jalisco's Ministry of Public Security, the Nuevo León Attorney General's Office, and the municipalities of Puebla, Querétaro, Guadalajara, Escobedo, and San Pedro Garza García.
In machinery operations, the typical range is 15% to 50% fewer accidents, a 15% to 30% reduction in maintenance cost, and up to 20-30% more training productivity, because operators practice without taking real equipment offline or occupying working aisles. Damage to racks, product, and dock doors during the learning curve is the first thing to disappear.
Yes. The controls are configured per forklift type — counterbalance, reach truck, pallet jack — and the simulation physics change with the load, the mast height, and the surface, so the operator feels the real behavior of each piece of equipment. The evaluation adjusts to the equipment types your operation uses.
Every session is logged with automatic per-operator scoring — violations, maneuvering errors, and operating habits — validated by biometric fingerprint sign-in and stored in the cloud with no possibility of editing. With that, the company can prove with data who is trained, how many hours they've logged, and at what performance level — solid backing for internal and industrial-safety audits.
An annual service plan with preventive and corrective maintenance, remote and on-site support, software updates, and spare parts, with our own technicians in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and the Bajío region. We are manufacturers with our own operation in Mexico: spare parts and service never depend on an overseas vendor.
On the hardware side: an enclosed operator station on a 3-degree-of-freedom platform that moves the entire cab — not just the seat — with an industrial force-feedback steering wheel and controls configurable per forklift type; plus a control station where the instructor operates a second forklift inside the same session. On the software side: fingerprint identification and tamper-proof cloud results. And on top of all that, the largest after-sales support operation in Mexico.
Delivery is turnkey: APEX installs the equipment, calibrates it, and trains your instructors — it's up and running from day one, with no integrators or third parties. It includes the equipment warranty and access to APEX Drive+, the app where support tickets are filed and service history is kept. Once the warranty ends, the annual maintenance plan covers preventive and corrective service and every spare part, with technician travel and expenses included.
Most vendors sell the equipment with limited coverage: spare parts are quoted separately, technician travel and expenses are billed on top, damage from misuse isn't covered, and service depends on a distributor or an overseas manufacturer. The APEX service plan includes every spare part in the simulator, technician travel and expenses, and coverage even against equipment misuse. Everything is tracked in APEX Drive+, and service is delivered by our own technicians in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, and the Bajío region.
