MEWP VR Simulator

The SIMS MEWP VR Simulator delivers advanced training and assessment for operators of mobile elevating work platforms.

Combining motion-based simulation, immersive VR environments, and real equipment controls, the system enables operators to develop the spatial awareness, positioning precision, and decision-making required for safe MEWP operation in complex environments.

Organizations use the simulator to strengthen operator competence, standardize evaluation processes, and reduce operational risk while training in a controlled, consequence-free environment.

Supported Equipment:

Boom lifts

Slab scissor lifts

Rough-terrain scissor lifts

Advanced Operator Training & Certification

With 97% predictivity of real-world operator performance, the SIMS MEWP VR Simulatorprovides a level of realism that allows operators to be evaluated and certified usingsimulation-based testing.

Approved training providers can use the simulator to deliver structured testing andcertification programs within a controlled VR environment.

Supported certification and training programs include:

  • IPAF PAL card renewals
  • IPAF PAL+ advanced licenses
  • Energy Safety Canada Certificates of Recognition
  • ANSI / CSA A92-compliant operator assessments

Simulation-based certification provides a reliable and efficient alternative to traditionalequipment-based testing.

Organizations can assess and certify operators without:

  • Tying up real equipment
  • Requiring dedicated training yards
  • Risking weather-related cancellations.

This enables consistent operator evaluation and training delivery across locations.

The MEWP VR Simulator includes a broad library of training and assessment scenarios designed to support operators at all skill levels.

Scenarios range from foundational skills training to advanced operational tasks, helping operators build confidence and jobsite readiness before working on live equipment.

Developed in collaboration with industry experts, the training scenarios focus on:

Safe equipment positioning

Obstacle avoidance and hazard awareness

Precision maneuvering

Adherence to operational best practices

During each session, the simulator captures dozens of performance data points to evaluate operator behavior and provide targeted recommendations for improvement.

Specialized Aviation Training

Operating MEWPs around aircraft requires exceptional precision and situationalawareness. Even minor contact with an aircraft can lead to significant operationaldisruption and repair costs.

The MEWP VR Simulator includes over 20 task-based scenarios specifically designed foraircraft maintenance environments, allowing operators to practice positioning andmaneuvering equipment safely near aircraft.

These scenarios help organizations:

  • Assess operator proficiency
  • Identify skill gaps
  • Strengthen operator confidence and precision.

All training is conducted in a risk-free virtual environment, eliminating the possibility of equipment damage during training.

ESP Scoring™ Performance Analytics

Traditional operator evaluation often relies on instructor observation, which can be subjective and limited in scope.

SIMS’ ESP Scoring™ system uses machine telemetry to capture and analyze operator behavior during simulation sessions.

The system evaluates performance across multiple operational metrics and breaks resultsinto two key components:

Efficiency
How ebectively the operator completes tasks

Safety
How safely equipment is operated during the scenario

These factors are combined to generate an overall Proficiency Score, providing an objective measurement of operator competence.

This data-driven approach allows organizations to:

  • Identify performance trends
  • Detect potential risk behaviors
  • Support targeted coaching and training improvements
