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.

Amatrol’s Electrical Power Distribution Learning System (85-MT7B) teaches a broad range of electrical advanced manufacturing skills, such as installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting modern power distribution systems that require skills ranging from setting up basic raceways to selecting appropriate over-current protection for sensitive equipment.

The 85-MT7B includes a mobile workstation with a configurable frame and junction boxes, a bus bar with two bus plugs, lockout/tagout, two motors (5 Hp 3-Phase and 1/3 Hp 3-Phase), and a conduit sample kit with five types of conduit. Learners will study industry-relevant skills including how to prepare, cut, bend, and connect conduit; handle advanced raceways; and select wire sizing and types. This system uses industrial-quality components to help learners become better prepared for what they will encounter on the job and withstand frequent use.

CM Labs' STS crane (Ship to Shore Crane) training simulator pack provides the tools to train operators to reach safety and productivity standards faster. Focused on the skills required to work with ships of all sizes, this training simulator pack helps develop effective operators by providing transferable skills in a safe environment available in all weather and at all times.

The STS crane simulator’s operator training program is focused on developing specific skills and understanding required for effective operations. With objective skills, bench-marking, trainee scoring, and objective, customizable reporting, this simulator training pack ensures a fluid transition from training to terminal operations.

Finally, operators can fail safely, trainer by their side, without job site disruptions, risk of injury, damage to expensive equipment, and no issues of access to machinery or inclement weather!

Introducing the compact track loader simulator - the only simulation-based solution that accurately replicates machine stability and lift clearance. Created using detailed labor competency requirements, the exercises allow operators to train through increasingly challenging everyday tasks, building skills that transfer into real-life operations.
