Simformotion™ LLC, a leader in heavy equipment simulator training solutions, announces the release of the new Cat® Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel System.

PEORIA, Ill., Sept. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Simformotion™ LLC – a leader in heavy equipment simulator training solutions – announces the release of the new Cat® Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel System. Operator trainees can utilize the system inside a classroom or at satellite mine locations.

“The new Hydraulic Mining Shovel simulator system is the cornerstone of our Cat Simulators mining models. The system trains students and operators using authentic Cat controls and teaches applications found on real-world job sites,” says CEO Lara Aaron.

The hands-on training system is set in a mining environment and teaches learners how to operate the Hydraulic Mining Shovel, including inspecting the machine, spotting and properly loading trucks, and more. Correct, efficient operation increases safety, production and cost savings. Simulation is a safe alternative to using actual machines for heavy equipment operator training. Students and operators can train anytime and anywhere using simulators — no need to take a costly machine out of production, worry about the weather or, most importantly, worry about the operator’s safety.

“The new Hydraulic Mining Shovel simulator system is the cornerstone of our Cat Simulators mining models. The system trains students and operators using authentic Cat controls and teaches applications found on real-world job sites. We often hear of the struggles to find skilled operators. Cat Simulators systems help companies build their own workforce,” says CEO Lara Aaron.

The Cat Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel system is available in multiple languages and includes SimU Campus™, a built-in reporting software that records and generates reports of learners’ simulation sessions and compares their performance to Caterpillar benchmarks. The system features authentic Cat controls, a motion system, exclusive walkaround machine inspection training, and a companion SimScholars™ curriculum, making the training package a unique offering.

The companion SimScholars online curriculum is a one-to-one match with the simulator model and can be used in the classroom or for remote learning. It is an interactive, turn-key solution complete with instructor guides, videos, quizzes and more. Integrate the Cat Simulators Hydraulic Mining Shovel system and its curriculum together for a unique, blended learning experience.

For even more training value and for a more immersive experience, add VR Edition. With the VR headset and patented VR Now technology, users experience a larger view of the virtual environment with greater depth perception. The simulator is portable and easy to move from a training room to a trailer to satellite locations.
