The Vortex® Backhoe Simulator Training Pack is part of CM Labs’ catalog of Vortex construction training packs. It’s the only training solution on the market capable of simulating a backhoe’s backlash and instability. Thanks to this capability, it is ideal for teaching novices critical transferable skills, such as how to leverage the flexibility of this machine and control its center of gravity for efficiency on the job site.

Construction equipment training is now more accessible, flexible, and portable than ever. Meet the Vortex Edge Plus, a flexible training simulator designed for maximum portability and a simple setup. This solution makes it easy to recruit, train and assess operators anywhere.

All components, from the industrial-grade pedals used in actual equipment to the operator controls, monitor, steering wheel, and workstation-class laptop, can be easily transported and installed within minutes.

The Vortex Edge Plus is a complete and affordable training tool that can run CM Lab’s entire fleet of earthmoving, lifting, and forestry equipment training packs. It also connects to an optional Instructor Operating Station for instructor-led training, scoring, and reporting.

The Straddle Carrier Simulation allows operators to get hands-on experience with the equipment at any time, regardless of weather conditions or machine availability. Combined with CM Labs' Smart Training Technology, trainees can reach proficiency without risking the safety or efficiency of the ports' day-to-day terminal activities.

CM Labs' Smart Training Technology excels at replicating true-to-life physical and mechanical specifications, delivering an authentic operator experience.

CM Labs' Empty Container Handler Simulator (ECH) is the only simulator training solution on the market that allows operators to experience the effects of unbalanced loads and other causes of machine instability.

Allow your instructors to control and assess operator training from their seats. CM Labs’ Instructor Operating Station provides a real-time 3D view of the virtual worksite from any vantage point. It allows instructors to do everything from launching exercises, manipulating the weather, customizing scores, and more.

  • CM Labs Equipment Training Simulators

The Vortex® Tower Crane Training Pack is part of the Vortex Training suite for construction cranes and heavy equipment. From hook and load management to complex blind lifts, operators who train with Vortex simulators develop the skills, coordination, and worksite awareness they need to master safe lift operations.

Key features & benefits

With the Tower Crane Training Pack, operators gain valuable experience in safe lifting operations, with no wear and tear to the crane, and no risk to themselves or others. Operators build real skills faster than traditional training alone and learning organizations save instructor time and reduce equipment costs.

  • Construction Training Simulators from CM Labs

The Dozer Simulator Training Pack is part of CM Labs’ product line of earthmoving and lifting/crane training packs, all of which can be run from a single Vortex simulator. With progressive exercises, on-screen tips, and built-in performance indicators, the Dozer Simulator Training Pack enables trainees to learn at their own pace, or as part of an instructor-led training curriculum.

Key features & benefits

The Dozer Simulator Training Pack gives trainees the unique sensation of pushing soil and aggregate materials, promoting precision operating techniques. Trainees can perform both heavy excavation and fi ne grading with the 6-way blade and manage their work zone by controlling the position of the dump truck. This encourages the development of operator accuracy and effi ciency, in an immersive, risk-free environment.

  • CM Labs Heavy Equipment Simulators

CM Labs’ Excavator Simulator Training Pack immerses trainees in a virtual environment that promotes rapid skills acquisition — from excavating and trenching to trailer loading, safety corridor management, and more. By training operators in this virtual world, organizations will see reduced wear and tear on their equipment while reducing risks to trainees and other personnel.

Key features & benefits

The Excavator Simulator Training Pack focuses on the three training pillars of safety, technique, and efficiency. While it automatically detects safety violations — including contacts with power lines or people, hazardous load trajectories, and turnovers — it also captures objective scores to indicate technical proficiency, including completion time, movement efficiency and accuracy, bucket efficiency, and more.

  • Crane Operator Training Simulators

The Vortex® Luffing Tower Crane (LTC) Training Pack is part of CM Labs’ catalog of Vortex construction training packs. From controls familiarization to erecting a steel structure, student operators who train with Vortex simulators develop the experience, skills, and worksite awareness they need to master safe operations while reducing training costs by up to 75%.

Key features & benefits

With the LTC Training Pack, student operators learn to work in a dense urban environment. With safety as a key concern, the LTC training pack provides the opportunity to gain experience transferable to the real world and develop skills, without any risk to the crane, themselves, or others.

  • Simulation Training for Crane Operators

The Rough Terrain Mobile Crane Simulator Training Pack is part of the Vortex® construction equipment training product suite. From hook and load management to tandem lifts, operators who train with Vortex simulators develop the skills, coordination, and worksite awareness they need to learn safe lift operations.

Key features & benefits

The Rough Terrain Mobile Crane Training Pack is a complete training tool covering the entire lift process, from lift plans to controls familiarization to complex lifts, such as lifting steel structures, working in buildings, and working around power lines. Throughout the training, trainees are scored based on a customizable system that tracks key metrics in real time.

    A stand-alone power network is a type of power supply network which is closed and has no active lines coupling it to other parts of the electrical power supply grid. A stand-alone network is markedly smaller than a combined electricity grid and does not usually incorporate high-voltage power lines. For this type of network, there are two distinct modes of operation, stand-alone mode, and isolated parallel or generator-to-generator operation.
