Designed for maximum portability and simple setup, the desktop CM Labs Edge Plus simulator makes it easy and affordable for organizations to run CM Labs’ full catalog of heavy equipment training packs anytime, anywhere. It is the ideal training solution for the classroom or on the go, and a great way to assess the skill level of heavy equipment operators quickly. Its ease of transport also makes the Vortex Edge Plus an optimal hands-on tool for attracting talent at job fairs and career development events.
Thanks to its lightweight design, the CM Labs Edge Plus can be easily transported and set up within minutes, providing access to practical heavy equipment training or assessment anywhere at any time. All components, from the pedals to the operator controls, steering wheel, monitor, and workstation-class laptop can be transported in convenient carrying cases and ergonomically positioned for optimal trainee comfort. It’s the ideal tool for on-the-go learning and even allows equipment operators to train or upskill from their own homes.
The Edge Plus simulator is a complete training solution that can run CM Labs’ full fleet of heavy equipment training packs. This includes the Tracked Excavator, Mini Excavator, Wheeled Excavator, Backhoe, Bulldozer, Wheel Loader, Motor Grader, Compact Track Loader, Articulated Dump Truck, Luffing Tower Crane, Flat-Top Tower Crane, Mobile Crane, Crawler Crane, Boom Truck, Digger Derrick, Forklift, Telehandler, Forwarder and Harvester Training Packs.
The Edge Plus can also be paired with Intellia Instructor for instructor-led training. With Intellia Instructor, instructors can manipulate the weather in exercises, inject machine faults in exercises, create custom learning paths, monitor multiple trainees at once, and generate detailed reports on trainee progress. The simulator can also connect to other CM Labs simulators—as well as CM Labs’ Signalperson Station—for collaborative crew training.
The CM Labs Edge Plus simulator runs on the same engineering-grade software that powers CM Labs’ fully immersive Advantage simulator, used by training schools and fleet owners internationally. This means that all simulated machine components behave as they do in the real world, whether operators are digging a trench, delimbing a tree, or catching a swing. The CM Labs Edge Plus complements the entry-level motion-enabled Edge Max and the full-immersion Advantage simulators perfectly. It allows organizations to engage novices on the desktop, and then complement training with more immersive seat time.
