Forest Industry Products

Modern forestry equipment is increasingly complex, costly, and difficult to operate productively. In addition, there is increasing public support for better forest practices and improved workplace safety, making operator certification a reality in some geographic areas. As a result, proper operator training has become a priority.

But in the world of heavy equipment, training simulation is something new and most products today are complex "turnkey" systems with real operator controls, multiple displays, dedicated computers, and even a motion platform. As a result, the price tag can rival the cost of real iron!

And that is why we are working with leading OEMs, their dealers, equipment owner/operators, and training professionals, to pioneer a new kind of product called Personal Simulator designed for set up on your Personal Computer (PC)!

Simlog's better idea

We believe that it's time to look again at the training simulator idea, but in a brand new, cost-effective way to complement, not replace, real seat-time. That's because sooner or later, people must be training at the controls of real equipment. (After all, no one gets paid to do simulated work!)

Finally, there's truly cost-effective simulator-based value, whether you're a training professional or an owner/operator of heavy equipment!

Our product lineup

The following Personal Simulators are now available:

• Harvester Personal Simulator




• Forwarder Personal Simulator

And if you are training people to build logging roads, Simlog also offers these additional products:

• Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator




• Wheel Loader Personal Simulator

For information about the training value of our forest industry products, please refer to these articles and testimonials from Simlog customers.

On the horizon

The fact is, Simlog is working hard to address all of your heavy equipment operator training needs by constantly expanding our product lineup. And we have plans to develop new Personal Simulators to help train operators of other kinds of forestry equipment, for mechanized logging and road building.
