From the Editor
It’s time for a big change! Cat® Simulators is pleased to announce a new hardware design that allows the simulators to convert from one machine model to another using the same base unit. Now you can cross train operators on multiple machines, assess new hires, refine skills to increase production, or recruit new students—all using the same standard base unit. It’s easy to go mobile with a rolling base or outfit a trailer and take simulator training on the road. Contact an Account Manager to get started with convertible simulator models.

Operator Tip
Remember that warmer days can permit softer, thawed and possibly “wet” material to collect on tracks, around rollers and sprockets. Still-cold evenings may freeze that material in place overnight. Failure to clean tracks or pivot-points on machines could force the parts to break out frost-hardened chunks during the first few minutes of work, which will set up undercarriages and joints for damage.

LEARN ADVANCED EXCAVATION TECHNIQUES FOR CONSTRUCTION
The boom in construction projects combined with the shortage of skilled labor has created a real need for training. Cat® Simulators Advanced Construction Excavator teaches the techniques needed to operate in the tight confines of a city building environment. From digging footings to using a thumb attachment and Grade Control, businesses can get operators up to speed faster than with traditional training methods. Contact an Account Manager to demo the simulator.
