Cat® Simulators Systems

Simulator training provides a safe, hands-on experience for learners.

Cat® Difference:
Authentic Controls

Cat® Simulators feature authentic Cat controls. Operators gain muscle memory using the same controls as in the actual machine. Learners do not use generic controls or the same control for multiple machines like other simulator companies.

"Watching how easily learners transition to the actual machine is amazing. It is 100 percent easier for them because of the authentic Cat® controls. One of the things they say right away when they sit down in the excavator is, ‘This is the same as I've been doing on the simulator.'"

"We have students who are currently in the field working who said that without learning on Cat Simulators and with SimScholars curriculum, they don't know how they would have been hired in the jobs they have now. The Cat Simulators made everything so much easier. And because of SimScholars, students understand why they're doing what they're doing when they operate the equipment."

“I had an operator who had never been in a motor grader seat,” recalled Hoskins. “Motor grader cabs are close quarters, so I had him practice on the simulator. When he went out into the field, he was able to maneuver around and use the controls while I stayed on the ground with a two-way radio to instruct him. We were both safer because I wasn’t in the cab with him.”

"The support we've received is overwhelming. We, being new last year using the simulators, may have had a few glitches. One phone call, pretty much within a few hours, and somebody helped us work through our problem. We got things straightened out and got our machines back online. I don't think we missed a day of training because we had a technical issue with a machine."

"The muscle memory the students gain during the five months of training on the simulators’ controls is the same as when they sit down in the real machine’s seat."

"Students had a lot of experience in training on the simulators and had a little bit of experience on the excavator. They felt it was a lot easier to perform with that real machine. So they really enjoy it and are ecstatic that they can actually operate it and feel confident in themselves.”

“The Cat® Sim program is very immersive-that is the best thing about it. If the simulator doesn’t have the motion platform, it isn’t the same experience. Motion means it feels like you are digging a hole, pushing dirt or picking up a log.”

“If there's a safety incident, we have the team member spend time on one of our Cat Simulators to learn what went wrong and what can be done differently moving forward.”

"If a person did 1,000 evaluations and training with 1,000 operators, that’s a lot of equipment, hourly rates and fuel costs. That really benefits and utilizes the simulator because you’re not tying up the equipment. You just need the operator and his time. You’re not wasting that fuel. And you’re more environmentally friendly."
