Simformotion, a business offering heavy equipment simulator training solutions, has announced the release of the new Cat Simulators Backhoe Loader System.
Set in a construction environment, the system teaches students and operators how to work a backhoe loader (BHL) from machine inspection to driving, braking, trenching, lifting and more. Simulation is an alternative to using actual machines for heavy equipment operator training.
“The new Backhoe Loader simulator rounds out the family of construction models in the Cat Simulators line. It’s a versatile machine and our team has worked closely with the operator experts at Caterpillar to develop every exercise. No matter where your worksite is in the world, if you train on a Cat Simulators system, you can be assured that your students and operators are learning the same techniques as other Cat operators,” said Renee Gorrell, vice president of Simformotion.
The BHL operator training simulator is available in multiple languages and includes a method to record and report the results of simulation sessions, comparing the performance to Caterpillar benchmarks. This simulator has authentic Cat controls, motion system, walkaround training and an accessible curriculum.
For more training value, customers can add VR Edition.
With the VR headset, users experience a larger view of the environment with greater depth perception. Whether you want to add BHL training to a school program or at a construction site, the simulator is portable and can be transported from a classroom to a trailer. Simulators convert from one model to another using the same base unit. Customers may also opt to save space and cross train on more machines with conversion kits.
