Simulators

Forwarder, wheeled harvester, and tracked harvester virtual simulators

Our simulators incorporate advanced technologies to simulate how the machinery operates exactly as it does in the forest. This includes precise details, such as the head’s response when it is positioned against the tree and the realistic movement of the logs during loading.

In the virtual environment, you can choose the type of terrain, the landscape, and the tree species, providing an immersive and realistic experience that accelerates the learning curve and makes it more effective.
