LOOKING AHEAD

Training that grows with your work.

These planned modules and concepts are separate from the current catalogue. Final scope and release timing will be announced as development progresses.

PLANNED / SCOPE UNDER REVIEW

Specialized attachment training

Proposed training covers paper roll clamps, rotators, barrel clamps, slip-sheet push/pull attachments, carpet poles, trash tippers, Basiloid handling and unbalanced or wide loads. The goal is task-focused practice with the right attachment and load.

FUTURE MODULE CONCEPT

Tablet-directed product retrieval

Follow a digital pick list, locate the correct product, verify the selection and move it to a staging area. Designed to connect driving skills with everyday warehouse picking workflows.

FUTURE MODULE / ON HOLD

Pre-operation inspection

A planned interactive inspection experience would let students identify equipment issues and distinguish acceptable conditions from defects needing attention. This module remains on hold and is not included in the current release.
