HYDRAULIC EXCAVATOR SIMULATOR SYSTEM

CAT® SIMULATORS TRAINING

Cat® Simulators provide a safe and consistent training method for teaching heavy equipment operation. Working hardware, combined with simulation software, replicates actual applications that an operator performs in the real world. From this training experience, the user develops a mental model of how to handle the situations depicted in simulation. Having encountered those situations virtually, operators can then apply what they learn to real life scenarios.

WHY CAT SIMULATORS?

Cat Simulators software and hardware trains operators better for many reasons:

  • Built with OEM controls
  • Built with the expertise of Caterpillar subject-matter experts
  • Developed and supported by a 28-year-old company located in the US
  • Built by an experienced development team with an average tenure of 15 years
  • Offers exclusive Walkaround training that teaches pre-operation machine inspection procedures
  • Backed by full 24×7 technical support on all simulators

THE CAT SIMULATORS ADVANTAGE

Skill Development

In addition to developing the technical skills needed to operate heavy equipment, Cat Simulators users will develop motor skills, problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

System Evaluation

Record and report the outcome of simulation sessions and track learner progress through the records management system. Each machine model includes hundreds of benchmarks set by Caterpillar expert operators. Assess operator aptitude, then test and evaluate in the simulated environment.

Cost Savings

Reduce the chance for mishaps and wear-and-tear on machines with Cat Simulators. Train multiple learners on one simulator, with one instructor. Cross-train on multiple machine models using one base unit and easy-to-convert controls.

Production Building    

Teaching operators to maximize productivity helps businesses keep a healthy bottom line. Cat Simulators consistently teaches the same techniques used on actual worksites by expert operators worldwide.

Safety Awareness

In a simulated environment, operators can perform exercises and make mistakes without harm to themselves, other operators or the training site—while gaining knowledge and confidence. Simulation training can reduce the risk of error and accidents for operators.

PRO ADVANTAGES & FEATURES

Convertible Hardware

Convert Cat Simulators hardware from one simulated machine to another using the same base unit. Cross-training is easy with swappable pods.
