What could adding motion to your operator training program mean?
Many Cat® Simulators models are available with a motion platform that allows users to feel vibration and movement when the simulated machine is running during training exercises. Users can experience forward/backward and left and right tilt as well as up and down movement.
By adding a motion platform to the simulators, operators will not only gain the knowledge and skills needed for controls and applications, they will also learn how to make the precision movements necessary to increase productivity, better learn tipping points on machines and much more.

Kearney High School Uses Cat Simulators
Students at Kearney High School will be able to take a “Heavy Equipment Operator” class beginning in 2014 thanks to a collaborative effort between the school, Central Community College, and area businesses.
Kearney High School principal Dr. Jay Dostal said the local construction industry approached the Kearney Public Schools Foundation with concerns about a lack of skilled young potential employees in central Nebraska.
“They told that their workforce is aging in this area, and there weren’t any opportunities for students to be trained for this kind of work.” Dostal said.
