Heavy Equipment Training Simulators

  • Simlog Heavy Equipment Simulators

X-Cal offers an extensive lineup of Heavy Equipment Simulators from two of the most respected names in simulation training: Simlog and CM Labs. Designed specifically for high schools, technical colleges, and workforce development programs, these simulation systems provide safe, repeatable, and cost-effective training for future heavy equipment operators. Whether you're building a new construction trades program or expanding an existing curriculum, these simulators prepare students with real-world operating skills—without the risks or costs of live equipment.

Simlog Personal Simulators deliver affordable and flexible training for a wide range of construction and forestry applications, including Forklift, Hydraulic Excavator, Bulldozer, and Mobile Crane. Each system is PC-based and can be configured with single or multi-display setups and Simlog’s modular control panels to match the feel of real-world equipment. These simulators are ideal for schools seeking an accessible and scalable introduction to equipment operation.

For programs seeking the most immersive and high-fidelity experience, CM Labs' Vortex Advantage and Edge platforms offer next-level realism through advanced physics-based simulation, motion platforms, and integrated assessment tools. Their training packs support operation of Backhoes, Wheel Loaders, Tower Cranes, Dozers, and more. With CM Labs’ focus on real-time feedback and scenario-based learning, educators can confidently prepare students to meet industry expectations and certification requirements.

  • Simlog Personal Simulators
    Item Number:
    FLT
    Simlog's Forklift Personal Simulator puts trainees at the controls of a typical factory forklift with rear-wheel steering. Challenging training scenarios reproduce the productivity demands of modern factory, warehouse, and distribution center environments. Our intelligent Instructional Design will guide your trainees through a series of 7 skill-building Simulation Modules that emphasize safety in every exercise.
  • Heavy Equipment Operator Training Simulators
    Item Number:
    BHL
    Simlog’s new Backhoe Loader Personal Simulator puts you at the controls of a backhoe loader (BHL), also called “Loader Backhoe” and “Tractor Loader Backhoe (TLB), at work in a typical construction site. Special configuration parameters allow instructors to modify the 3D modeling to select one of five possible color combinations and set the number of lift arm cylinders to one or two. This flexibility makes the simulated Backhoe Loader look like the equipment sold by all the leading OEMs.
  • Simlog Bulldozer Personal Simulator - Operator Chair
    Item Number:
    DZR
    Simlog's Bulldozer simulation software can also be configured, in order to simulate the behavior of a wide variety of bulldozers. For example, you can use separate pedals for Decelerator and Brake, or just a single pedal that combines both functions, to reproduce the different pedal arrangements found in real bulldozers.
  • Simlog Personal Simulators for Industrial Training
    The simulation software puts you at the controls of a modern twin boom Drill Jumbo in an underground mining tunnel (drift). You can even change the viewpoint during the simulation at the touch of a button!
  • SimLog Heavy Equipment Simulators
    Item Number:
    ERS
    There are eight "Simulation Modules" of increasing difficulty, starting with Controls Familiarization. The final modules combine elements of dipper fill at the rock face, and cab-side or blind-side truck loading. A simulated Mining Truck is built right in, to help teach truck spotting interaction. Key "Performance Indicators" measure how quickly and how carefully the simulated work is performed.
  • Simlog Forwarder Personal Simulator
    Item Number:
    FWD
    Simply set up the simulator controls , install the simulation software (in English or French) on your desktop or laptop PC, and begin! The simulation software puts you at the controls of a typical forwarder equipped with an articulated boom, telescoping extension, and free-swinging grapple attachment. You can even change the viewpoint during the simulation at the touch of a button.
  • Simlog Harvester Personal Simulator
    Item Number:
    HRV
    The simulation software puts you at the controls of a typical tracked carrier (swing machine) equipped with an articulated boom and free-swinging "dangle-type" harvester head. You can even change the viewpoint during the simulation at the touch of a button. Simply set up the simulator controls, install the simulation software on your desktop or laptop PC, and begin!
  • Cost Effective Simulation for Training Heavy Equipment Operators
    Item Number:
    HEX
    Simlog's Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator puts trainees at the controls of a modern Hydraulic Excavator in interaction with an articulated dump truck. Using life-like dynamic terrain combined with our intelligent instructional design, your trainees are guided through a series of 12 skill-building Simulation Modules.
  • CM Labs Instructor Operating Station
    With the Instructor Operating Station (IOS), you can initiate exercise sessions, monitor operations from your seat, and challenge trainees by exposing them to various tasks and job site conditions.
  • Mining Truck Operator Simulator Trainer
    Item Number:
    MT
    Modern 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.
