Faster, Safer Forklift Training with Acreos Simulators at AGCO

Transforming forklift operator training through immersive simulation.

In the agricultural logistics industry, training efficiency and operator safety are key priorities. To meet these challenges, AGCO, a global leader in agricultural machinery, partnered with Acreos, the French specialist in training simulators. Together, they have redefined how forklift operators learn, combining realism, safety, and performance in a single training solution.

Faster, more efficient training

Traditionally, training an operator on forklifts or agricultural machinery could take multiple days, requiring instructors and costly equipment. With Acreos simulators, training time has been significantly reduced. For instance, a program that once took two full days can now be completed in just one.

The efficiency gains don’t come at the expense of quality. Acreos simulators replicate real-world conditions, allowing operators to practice in a safe, controlled environment. This lets trainers focus on critical aspects such as safety protocols and technical mastery.

Acreos simulators provide both engaging theoretical modules and practical scenarios, giving operators a comprehensive learning experience. This dual approach helps trainees understand not only how to operate machinery but also why safety procedures and efficiency techniques matter.

“Like all companies, AGCO must train its employees. Safety is key, especially for our hundreds of forklift operators. Regular training using high-tech tools from Acreos adds real value.” Yvan Spanneut – Manager Automation global parts

The simulator helps us tackle more complex scenarios than what we can actually do in real-life situations on the field. We can work with heavy loads and understand how to avoid the operator tipping over with the machine.” Loic Sorel – Manager Automation global parts

The AGCO × Acreos partnership demonstrates how innovation in simulation can elevate training standards across the agricultural sector. By reducing training time, enhancing safety, and delivering measurable results, this collaboration sets a benchmark for the future of operator development.

A partnership that sets the standard

Learners testify:
“I've gained self-confidence”.

I find it easier to understand on screen, with explanations, compared to paper-based training. It’s more engaging and clear.
Pauline, Forklift Operator
I learned the old way before, but now with the simulator I’m learning new things. I can see the risks, and the entire program is very well designed.
Nordine, Forklift Operator
