The Boom Truck Simulator from CM Labs is engineered in collaboration with major OEMs to deliver a hyper-realistic training experience that mirrors actual crane behavior. Trainees engage with an industry-approved curriculum that covers everything from basic controls to advanced lifting techniques, ensuring skills are transferable to real-world equipment.

Smart Training Technology™ powers the simulation, replicating boom deflection, engine behavior, and hydraulic dynamics with exceptional accuracy. Trainees develop competencies through progressive exercises such as deploying outriggers, hoisting poles, handling loads, and preparing for certification assessments—all while minimizing real-world risk.

Key Features & Benefits:

• 30-ton lifting capacity with a 110 ft (33.5 m) telescopic boom
• Best-in-class cable and lifting simulation with two hook configurations
• Progressive training curriculum from beginner to advanced levels
• Objective performance tracking on load control, safety violations, and operational efficiency
• Runs on Vortex Edge Plus, Edge Max, and Advantage simulators

CM Labs’ Ship-to-Shore (STS) Crane Simulator features industry-leading cable physics that replicate the real behavior of crane cables under tension and slack. This simulation doesn’t just look realistic—it behaves like the real thing.

Operators learn how to react to cable cues naturally, developing critical instincts that improve safety and efficiency on the job. Rather than relying solely on digital readouts, trainees gain a sensory-based understanding of crane operation.

• Simulates accurate cable tension and slack
• Builds sensory recognition and crane-handling instinct
• Ideal for operator onboarding and STS certification training
• Supports immersive, experiential learning

Safer Training. Smarter Operators.

With true-to-life feedback, CM Labs’ STS Crane Simulator ensures your workforce is not only trained—but prepared. Operators graduate with a deeper understanding of their equipment and their responsibilities on the terminal floor.

CM Labs’ Ship-to-Shore (STS) Crane Simulator delivers unmatched realism in container alignment training. Featuring an accurate recreation of the twist-lock mechanism, this simulator teaches operators to place containers with exactness—not approximation.

Operators learn how to visually and physically confirm alignment, developing muscle memory and awareness that translates directly to the terminal floor. This builds long-term habits that reduce error and increase safety.

• Twist-lock mechanism realistically simulated
• Training for accurate container alignment—not estimates
• Prevents the development of “close enough” habits
• Builds safe, effective operator technique and precision

Better Training = Better Results

This kind of high-fidelity simulation ensures that new hires and experienced operators alike are ready to perform with confidence, precision, and accuracy—before ever stepping foot in the cab of a real crane.

The Reach Stacker Simulator by CM Labs delivers a true-to-life training experience by simulating how load distribution, height, and positioning affect vehicle stability. Operators quickly learn how their actions impact the center of gravity and how to correct unsafe behaviors before they become accidents.

This hands-on simulation creates a strong foundation in safe operation, helping operators build good habits, anticipate instability, and avoid real-world consequences.

• Accurate modeling of load placement and center of gravity
• Real-time response to improper handling or overreach
• Teaches how to prevent tipping and equipment damage
• Essential for both new trainees and experienced operators
