Vortex simulators: best-in-class training

CM Labs equipment training simulators provide operators with the skills to operate equipment safely and efficiently. Trainees can practice challenging real-world operations in complete safety while key operating performance metrics are objectively logged and recorded throughout training.

Operators can prepare for the routine and the unexpected. This makes our simulators invaluable for teaching safe, productive, economic machine use. With swappable controls and configurations ranging from the desktop to an immersive five-display simulator, Vortex simulators are built to run a wide range of training packs. Each Simulator Training Pack features self-guiding, progressive learning programs, and best-in-class simulation.

  • CM Labs Vortex Forestry Equipment Training Simulators

The Forwarder Simulator Training Pack is sold in a bundle with the Harvester Simulator Training Pack. Developed in collaboration with Tigercat, every simulated machine component is backed by precise engineering specifications to ensure realistic behavior and maximum training value. Students gain exposure to the largest and widest variety of simulated terrains on the market that includes rocks, slopes, rivers, and tree stumps, and as result, transition faster and more effectively to the real equipment.

The Forwarder Simulator Training Pack’s curriculum was developed in consultation with forestry and logging training schools to ensure students acquire the right skills and techniques for safe and productive operations.

  • CM Labs Vortex Forestry Equipment Training Simulators

The Harvester Simulator Training Pack is the only solution that simulates the harvesting cycle in detail to ensure safe and efficient operations. It helps reduce the training burden on seasoned operators by guaranteeing a higher level of readiness for the field. The Harvester Simulator Training Pack was designed in collaboration with OEM, Tigercat, and is sold in a bundle with the Forwarder Simulator Training Pack.

With the Harvester Simulator, students progress through an industry-approved curriculum that was developed in consultation with forestry and logging training schools. It helps operators acquire the right skills and techniques relevant to the job market.

  • CM Labs Crawler Crane Simulator

The Crawler Crane Simulator Training Pack is part of CM Labs’ catalog of construction equipment training packs. From basic controls and crane positioning to hook and load management, operators who train on Vortex simulators develop the aptitude, skills, and worksite awareness they need to master safe and efficient crawler crane operations.

With the Crawler Crane Training Pack, trainees gain valuable experience with lift planning and operations — in a safe environment without incurring the expenses of operating a real crawler crane. It is also ideal for experienced operators looking to expand their skills from smaller lifting equipment to larger cranes.

  • CM Labs Backhoe Loader Simulator

The Vortex® Backhoe Training Pack is the only training solution capable of simulating a backhoe’s backlash and instability. Thanks to this capability, it is ideal for teaching novices how to leverage the flexibility of this machine and control its center of gravity for efficiency on the job site.

Key features & benefits

With the Backhoe Training Pack, trainees learn the requirement for careful, methodical operations, thanks to the looseness in the machine’s linkage that replicates that of the real backhoe.

The training pack also simulates changes in stability and traction as tires are placed under stress by rapid movements or heavy loads — and the simulated backhoe can even tip as a result of instability. This means trainees can feel free to fail without the risk of damaging equipment or themselves.
