Industrial Truck Models in Simscape

Simscape enables engineers to optimize the design of industrial trucks, including boom lifts, scissor lifts, forklifts, and other equipment for elevating people and moving goods. You can tailor Simscape models to your exact design and explore the entire design space. Use the examples linked from this page to refine design requirements, design control algorithms, and test controller software without relying on hardware prototypes. MATLAB apps help you configure models to test for compliance with government regulations.
