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.

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.
