New Cat log loading simulators

Simformotion has released the Cat Simulators FM Log Loader System for forestry.

Research has repeatedly shown that the use of simulators shortens the learning curve of operators, and results in reduced machine damage while the operator learns. The log loader simulator is set in a forest environment, where the operator learns the same machine applications found on actual production sites. Authentic controls are used to ensure that the trainee operators are familiar with the actual machine cab that they operate. The simulator teaches control familiarisation, how to perform a machine walk-around, log handling, loading and offloading the machine from a low-boy trailer, shovel logging, unloading a log trailer, sorting, and an open training mode. The simulator is available with a motion platform so that operators feel realistic machine movement.

Cat simulators make use of the exclusive SimU Campus, which is software that measures, records and reports the results of all simulation sessions so that instructors or other users can track progress. The operator is benchmarked against proven standards from existing data. Cat simulators are also available for dozers, off-highway trucks, motor graders, wheeled loaders and tractor-scrapers.
