From the Editor
Product development is an ongoing process here at Simformotion™. We never sit still and are always conducting R&D to find new and better ways to provide simulator training. When we released our Large Wheel Loader, it was the first model to feature three large monitors on the front. The new configuration gave users a wide view of the environment that created a more realistic experience. As the simulated machine interacts with the terrain and surrounding jobsite, the view from the cab is the same as it would be on a real world worksite.
Because of the response from our users, we have just released the Cat® Simulators Articulated, Off-Highway, and Mining Trucks with a three-screen configuration. That’s in addition to the aforementioned Large Wheel Loader, plus the Hydraulic Excavator, Advanced Construction Excavator, Track Type Tractor/Dozer, Advanced Dozer, Small Wheel Loader, and Motor Grader.
We’ll continue our R&D efforts, upgrading existing technology or developing new. We value our clients’ opinions and feedback and look forward to hearing from you on what product changes you want to see. Connect with us anytime to give us feedback or share ideas.
Unions Train with Cat® Simulators
Operator Tip
“When carrying a pallet of material with your forks, make sure to carry the pallet low to the ground, but not so low that you might hit something. Keep your ground speed under control according to the terrain you are operating on.”
