Tracked Excavator Simulator Training Pack

The Intellia Tracked Excavator Simulator Training Pack features the world’s first commercial application of CM Labs’ innovative approach to soil simulation. This realism immerses trainees in a virtual environment that promotes rapid skills acquisition—from excavating and trenching, to trailer loading, safety corridor management, working with the Trimble® Earthworks Grade Control Platform, and more. With this training pack, operators can safely and quickly learn how to operate a tracked excavator, also known as a digger.

With built-in scoring, instructional exercises that encourage self-directed learning, and challenges that encourage trainees to use their operating judgment, CM Labs’ Tracked Excavator Training Simulator pack enables trainees to develop a sense of initiative and responsibility that transfers to the worksite. Tested by experts in the field, this unparalleled tracked excavator operator training was designed to simulate critical earthmoving operations in the construction, utility, and forestry industries.

Training Pack Features

Practice Complex Excavator Operations

Provide operators with immersive and challenging training scenarios that allow them to develop the skills needed to operate a tracked excavator. Allow trainees to complete tasks such as digging, pipe placement, load handling, and more in a safe and controlled environment. New operators can use the Tracked Excavator Simulator Training Pack to learn control steering and basic digging techniques. The training simulator pack also allows experienced operators to practice advanced maneuvers, such as cleaning trenches, leveling, and jump turns. Thanks to this revolutionary technology, you can use simulators to train operators for dangerous operations in complete safety and without risking equipment damage. With this training pack, trainees learning to operate the machinery can even practice potentially life-threatening emergency scenarios they could never safely recreate in real life.

Advance Operator Training with Add-on Modules

Operators sometimes need to upskill–safely and efficiently–to take on new roles on the jobsite. Leverage these new training pack add-on modules as a cost-effective solution for upskilling, cross-skilling, assessing your workforce on new equipment, and working on team tasks—all while tracking essential performance metrics.

Dense Urban Environment Training

The Tracked Excavator Simulator Training Pack features the most complete collection of progressive learning exercises on the market. Ranging from beginner to advanced, scenarios are designed to safely build trainee skill and confidence:

  • Walkaround inspection
  • Basic controls familiarization
  • Swing, boom and stick control
  • Loading and unloading from a trailer
  • Picking up and handling loads
  • Pipe placement in a trench
  • Traveling and proper positioning
  • Benchloading into a haul truck
  • Precision trenching with Trimble Earthworks

Performance Metrics

Only with CM Labs metrics will instructors gain valuable objective insight into operator performance and abilities, such as:

  • Cycle time
  • Swing, boom and stick control
  • Maximum shock loads
  • Bucket capacity mass and efficiency

The optional Intellia Instructor training management system allows instructors to generate reports from training sessions, create learning paths, trigger live faults and weather challenges, and make use of many other benefits. This improves learning retention and allows instructors to save valuable time as a result of streamlined administrative functions.

The Intellia Tracked Excavator Simulator Training Pack incorporates authentic engineering-grade machine and materials behavior. As a result, it delivers the most transferable operator skills anywhere, except for real equipment. This includes:

  • Hydraulics system and transmission
  • Bucket forces, digging, trenching, and loading
  • Working lights
  • Innovative dirt simulation

Add-On Modules to Push Your Capabilities

Optional modules are cost-effective solutions for operator team training and cross-skilling. The metrics, tracking, and reporting functionalities included in all Intellia heavy equipment training packs are also included in all add-on modules.*

Collaborative training can be difficult and dangerous to reproduce with real construction equipment. By developing communication skills between operators and other personnel on the worksite, this training module helps graduates become better prepared for real-world assignments.

The crew training exercise enables an excavator operator to learn how to fill an articulated dump truck. At the same time, another trainee simultaneously learns how to operate the truck, interact with the excavator safely, and drive the truck on various types of terrain.

The simulation reproduces critical machine reactions, such as the motion of the dump truck when dirt hits the trailer. These features allow operators to provide more accurate feedback and develop positive communication habits that transfer to work on real equipment.

Equipment operator training on new productivity tools lays the foundation for safer, more efficient operations. The integration of Trimble Earthworks’ software and tablet with CM Labs’ earthmoving and heavy equipment training packs provides operators with firsthand, practical training on the latest innovations.**

The Grapple Sorting Add-On Module helps trainees learn the basic control functions of the grapple attachment. Trainees can also learn to sort and manipulate a mixed pile of wood, concrete, and metal into various dumpsters.

The Tiltrotator Swale Add-On Module teaches precision grading techniques. Trainees practice making a V-ditch, using the tiltrotator bucket, dipperstick, and boom controls to remove thin layers of material. On-screen displays show the quality of the trench while the trainee works.

Excavator Simulator Training Pack

The Vortex® Excavator Simulator Training Pack is part of CM Labs’ catalogue of Vortex Construction training packs. This digger simulator features the world’s first commercial application of an innovative new method of Its simulation.

Excavator Simulator Training Pack | Cleaning Trenches

Tidying trenches is about more than looking good. It's critical that your simulator be able to teach trainees this skill to mitigate the risk of trench cave-in, which results in stoppages and a substantial risk of personnel injury and fatalities.
