Vortex Advantage
Scalable, Full-Immersion Operator Training Platform
The Vortex Advantage by CM Labs is a high-performance, full-immersion training simulator designed for hands-on, realistic instruction in heavy equipment operations. Engineered for flexibility and longevity, it supports a wide variety of crane and earthmoving equipment with hot-swappable control sets and scalable display configurations.
Built with a rugged steel frame and industrial-grade components, the Vortex Advantage withstands the demands of round-the-clock training—whether in classrooms or mobile trailers. Its three-screen and five-screen options offer lifelike equipment sightlines, while the motion platform replicates real equipment vibrations and movement, enhancing operator realism and skill transfer.
Operators can easily navigate training modules using a built-in touchscreen interface that replicates the operator dashboard, including LMI/SLI indicators, auxiliary controls, and more. Instructors benefit from built-in classroom management tools and optional instructor stations, enabling progress tracking, exercise switching, and even multi-simulator crew coordination for tandem lift training.
