Vortex Edge Max

A new training simulator for bridging the skills gap.
CM Labs Vortex Edge Max

Not every organization has the time, manpower, or equipment available for training when needed. That all changes with the CM Labs Edge Max series. Packed with CM Labs’ award-winning technology, the Vortex Edge Max simulator is an entry-level tool that develops transferable operator skills.

With a rugged, stripped-down design that minimizes simulator costs, the Edge Max is built to the same uncompromising standard that has made CM Labs the largest construction simulator vendor in the world.

The Edge Max can also be connected with other CM Labs simulators to enable cooperative crew training exercises.

Easy to transport, set up, and use—the Edge Max can be wheeled out of the shipping crate and set up to run in under 10 minutes.

Unique Training Benefits

The Vortex Edge Max is a powerful and flexible simulation platform designed to deliver full training capabilities in a compact and transportable unit. It runs CM Labs’ full catalog of heavy equipment training packs, giving you scalable, cost-effective access to proven learning programs wherever you need them.

Built with CM Labs’ proprietary simulation technology, the Edge Max reproduces the feel, behavior, and performance of actual equipment. Operators practice real tasks—starting, driving, digging, lifting, placing—with immediate feedback. This helps trainees build transferable skills and prepares them for on-the-job success from day one.

The Edge Max supports progressive training, scenario-based exercises, performance metrics, and certification preparation. It’s compatible with Intellia Instructor, enabling trainers to manage multiple sessions, monitor real-time performance, and inject live faults or weather conditions to simulate high-pressure worksite challenges.

  • Excavator, Dozer, Backhoe, Wheel Loader, and more
  • Crane and lifting packs such as Boom Truck, Mobile Crane, and Rough Terrain Crane
