SIMFORMED – September/October 2014

When I ask managers and leaders in our industry what causes them pain, there is a common theme: Finding the right people for the jobs in their organizations, budget, and production levels. Being able to offer some answers is always a welcome conversation. Simulators can be incorporated into training programs to help operators learn controls and applications that make them better producers, more efficient and safe on the job. Plus, no fuel is used during simulator training which means immediate cost savings that is often enough savings to pay for the simulators. When you put pen to paper and add up the benefits, it’s not hard to see how simulator training can change your business for the better.

Small Wheel Loader

Wheel Loaders (a.k.a. front-end loaders and bucket loaders) are used to move and load materials such as clay, soil, snow, feed, gravel, rocks, sand, woodchips and many other types. The versatility makes it a great investment, but versatility also means it is a difficult machine to learn to operate. Accidents can easily occur if the operator doesn’t know how to correctly use the controls, buttons and levers or perform the necessary applications in an efficient manner.

Because the Articulated Truck has an oscillating hitch instead of a rigid frame body, operators need to learn the tipping points. Cat® Simulators Articulated Truck System can teach learners how to reduce accidents caused by tipping and overturning. To find out how your operation can benefit from the Articulated Truck simulator, contact an Account Manager at 1.309.266.2640.
