Heavy Equipment Operator Training Simulators

Virtual Training, Real Results

Cat® Simulator training provides a way for students to gain familiarization and understanding of machine controls, and learn proper operating procedures before training on actual machines. The simulated environment affords a safe place to learn and make mistakes without harm to the worksite, machines or personnel. A variety of training exercises designed to address each of the component skills associate with operating actual machines are represented in different work environments such as construction and mining. By uniting simulated worksite applications and conditions with realistic controls, Cat Simulators provide hands-on learning in a safe and economical way to enhance traditional operator training programs. Experienced operators can also benefit from simulator training by refining skills to increase production levels.
