Vortex Construction Equipment Training Simulators

The Digger Derrick Training Pack provides a complete learning solution. Trainees work on skills such as controls familiarization, auger, pole control, and setting.

The Training Pack is the only solution that accurately replicates machine stability and engine behavior, reducing the likelihood of accidents due to tipping. Designed to support training for specialized techniques such as drilling and setting poles, the learning path guides trainees through increasingly challenging tasks and includes exercises to prepare for the crane certifications exams, such as EICA.

Smart Training Technology

The Digger Derrick Training Pack incorporates Smart Training Technology™. That’s why it delivers the most transferable operator skills anywhere outside the real equipment. This includes:

  • Engine actions and machine stability during drilling and pole setting
  • Hydraulics
  • Boom backlash and deflections
  • Tipping behavior
  • Cable and hook during drilling and pole setting

These, combined with the earth and assets/material simulation, ensure safe and efficient maneuvers. The training pack replicates true engine vibrations and sounds, including hydraulics, variable RPMs, drilling, horns, and crane overload alarms which are important audio cues for safe operation.
