Item Number:MCK-107P-001 -
Item Number:CPK-W4X4-001Explore the Minds-i Search and Rescue Competition Kit, created for SkillsUSA robotics events. Learn how students can build, program, and remotely operate robots to tackle real-world rescue challenges. -
Item Number:MTModern mining equipment is increasingly complex, costly, and difficult to operate productively. As a result, proper operator training has become everyone's business. The fact is, it takes training to spot a truck and position it for loading under a full bucket. It also takes training to back up a truck just using mirrors under that bucket. Otherwise, your mining operations will suffer from lower productivity, higher fuel costs, increased tire wear, and more equipment maintenance and repair. -
Item Number:MCRASimlog’s Advanced Edition puts you at the controls of a modern rough-terrain mobile crane equipped with telescoping boom and jib, and a variety of hook-blocks with best-in-class simulation graphics and physics, slings that go “slack”, and a boom that deflects. And now there’s wind, with parameters to define the direction, strength, and gusting. -
CM Labs’ Mobile Training Center is designed to give organizations the flexibility to offer training and assessment anywhere. It provides on-site presence, reducing team displacement and job site disruption. Community colleges and vocational schools can expand training locations and access markets previously out of reach or too remote. -
