Overview

What You'll See in This Demo

This demo showcases PIT Trainer XR — Roundtable Learning’s purpose-built VR training system for stand-up forklift and powered industrial truck operators. Modeled after the world’s top distribution centers, PIT Trainer XR puts learners inside a realistic warehouse environment with a physical tiller rig that replicates the controls of common standing vertical and horizontal tiller PITs, including order pickers, stand-up reach trucks, and turret trucks. Operators work through structured modules covering forward and reverse maneuvers, figure-8 navigation, pivot control, material handling, and hazard awareness — building the muscle memory and spatial confidence they need before they ever step onto a live warehouse floor. Training administrators get full visibility through session playbacks, gaze scoring, travel line scores, and collision data, all tracked through Mercury XRS with unlimited user profiles.

Whether you’re a training manager looking to standardize forklift certification prep across a large team, an operations leader trying to reduce equipment downtime, or a distribution center of any size looking for a scalable, cost-effective training solution, PIT Trainer XR is designed to fit your facility — without taking your equipment offline or consuming valuable floor space.

Key Learning Objectives

Build foundational stand-up forklift operation skills — including maneuvering, material handling, and hazard awareness — in a safe, risk-free environment
Develop muscle memory for tiller control and directional handling before operators work on live equipment
Standardize training across teams, shifts, and facilities with consistent, repeatable modules
Prepare operators for OSHA forklift certification faster through structured, immersive practice
Capture performance data — gaze scores, collision counts, travel line accuracy, and session playbacks — to identify skill gaps and track progression
Scale training across an unlimited number of operators without additional hardware, floor space, or equipment downtime
FAQ

Common Questions

What types of powered industrial trucks does PIT Trainer XR support?+
PIT Trainer XR is designed to simulate the controls of a wide range of common PIT vehicles — including standing vertical and horizontal tiller PITs like order pickers, stand-up reach trucks, and turret trucks, as well as sit-down counterbalanced forklifts. The rig is available in multiple control configurations — dual-hand, wrap-around tiller, classic tiller and throttle, and hybrid — making it compatible with equipment from leading manufacturers including Crown and Raymond. If you're not sure whether PIT Trainer XR maps to your specific equipment, the Roundtable Learning team can help confirm the right configuration for your fleet.
Can VR be used to train stand-up forklift and PIT operators?+
Yes — and it addresses one of the most persistent challenges in warehouse and distribution training: getting operators enough practice on real equipment before they're cleared to work independently. PIT Trainer XR uses a physical tiller rig paired with a VR headset to simulate the controls of common standing vertical and horizontal tiller PITs — including order pickers, stand-up reach trucks, and turret trucks — so learners can build real operating skills without the risk of incidents, equipment damage, or production disruption.
Can training administrators track and assess operator performance in the simulation?+
Yes — and the data PIT Trainer XR captures goes well beyond simple completion tracking. Administrators have access to session playbacks, gaze scoring, travel line accuracy, collision counts, and time-to-completion metrics for every learner, all managed through Mercury XRS with unlimited user profiles. That visibility makes it possible to identify exactly where an operator struggles, adjust training accordingly, and make confident, data-backed decisions about when someone is ready to qualify on live equipment.
Does PIT Trainer XR replace the need for live forklift training?+
No — and it's not designed to. PIT Trainer XR is built to prepare operators for live training and OSHA certification, not replace it. Learners who complete the VR program arrive at live equipment with foundational skills already in place — they understand the controls, they've practiced the maneuvers, and they've made their early mistakes in a safe environment. That preparation shortens live training time, reduces incidents during the learning curve, and helps operators pass certification faster.
How do we get PIT Trainer XR into our facility?+
You can try PIT Trainer XR at your facility free for 60 days before committing. Schedule a short call with the Roundtable Learning team, and we'll ship the rig directly to you — no upfront cost. Train your team in your actual environment, review the data, and decide if it's the right fit. If it is, you keep it. If it isn't, ship it back. No charge.
