Abstract: Disclosed herein are features and improvements for a powered industrial vehicle, such as a forklift. In some embodiments, the forklift may have improved geometry and sensors. In some embodiments, the forklift may include an operator interface system for controlling powered industrial vehicles based on the field of view of an operator. In some embodiments, the forklift may include an integrated control system such that the operator cannot perform a certain operation without first performing a different, prior operation and/or such that the operator cannot perform two or more operations simultaneously which would result in unsafe operation. In some embodiments, a virtual reality simulator for the forklift may be provided.
