Why Simulator Training?
Simulators combine the finest in technology
and operator instruction to create cutting edge training
for heavy equipment operators. Realistic controls ensure
that the operator gains familiarization and muscle
memory using the same hardware as in the actual
machine. Rich graphics create a virtual world for the
operator to experience training exercises native to the
machines. Each training exercise measures and records
the operator’s simulation sessions so instructors,
administrators and the student can see the results.
Instructors can identify inefficiencies or weaknesses so
the operator can focus on training to correct or
strengthen the areas.
Cat® Simulators provides an easy-to-use, cost-effective
and reliable training method. Before training operators on
valuable equipment and running the risk of a mishap,
begin their training in the always safe environment of a
simulator. By pre-training operators before letting them
on an actual machine, you’ll better ensure the safety of
all personnel and actual equipment.
Other benefits include:
Skill Mastery. Allows new operators to develop skills
in a controlled and safe environment. Allows
experienced operators to enhance or refine skills.
On the Record. Retain performance records as part of
employee’s training file. Assess skills for new hires.
Break bad habits and address progress for experienced
operators.
Retain & Produce. Pre-trained operators retain more
information and are generally more productive when
they begin operating actual machines.

CAT SIMULATORS...
because training impacts safety,
production, profits & personnel
Safety First
Cat Simulators offer a unique method of training operators safely. In
the virtual world, an operator can gain practical knowledge and skills
before training on the actual machines. The simulator’s controls are
representative of those in an actual machine allowing the operator to
gain muscle memory that translates to the real world. Operators can
repeat exercises in the simulated environment and make mistakes
without harm to himself, other personnel or the jobsite.
Cost Savings
Organizations that use simulators for part of their training can
experience cost savings immediately. They avoid the costs of fuel
and engine maintenance while using simulators for training.
Machines can stay in use for production at the jobsite while students
train on simulators; and the potential of misuse caused by untrained
or undertrained operators is also avoided. Plus, one instructor can
train multiple operators at one time.
Production Building
Simulator training allows new operators to cut their teeth in the
virtual environment and won’t slow down the production circuits.
The actual machines aren’t taken away from production work nor
subjected to misuse by an untrained operator. The number of hours
and days actual machines stay in production with experienced
operators at the controls vs. slowing the circuits down with new
and inexperienced operators directly increases an organization’s
bottom line.
Operator Screening
Utilizing a simulator, along with SimU Campus training records
management software is a great way to screen operators. Human
Resources personnel can set important benchmarks to determine
aptitude of potential employees, then test and evaluate in a
simulated environment to find the most qualified people.

Simulator Models
Cat Simulators are designed to train and orient new operators on
machine operation, skills and application knowledge; while allowing experienced
operators to refine skills. This PC-based equipment is founded on general machine
families rather than specific machine models. The system uses controls
representative of actual machines in order to provide a more realistic learning
opportunity. Currently there are eight Cat Simulator models available for training,
with more in development:
• M-Series Motor Grader
• Medium Off-Highway Truck
• Mining Truck
• Hydraulic Excavator
• Small Wheel Loader Controls representative
• Large Wheel Loader of actual machines.
• Wheel Tractor-Scraper
• Track Type Tractor

Versatility
Virtual Reality, Real Results
The simulated environment allows operators to gain skills
and master proper techniques. The simulator exercises are
designed to address each of the component skills
associated with operating actual machines. Simulator
session results are measured and recorded so instructors
can assess students’ training progress. Plus, fuel costs are
alleviated for the simulator training portion of the
program. Training on a simulator allows students the
opportunity to perform and repeat exercises as often as
needed to learn proper techniques. The simulator also
allows experienced operators to refine their skills to
increase productivity. It’s a fact that well-trained operators
save their organizations costs from wear-and-tear as well
as misuse. In addition, organizations can experience an
increase in productivity and safety awareness.
Flexibility
Using Cat Simulators allows multiple students to train at
one time, anytime day or night without regard to the
weather, and with one instructor supervising several
students at once.
Mobility
Cat Simulators are designed to be installed in a classroom
setting or travel trailer. They are compact and easily
portable to job sites, customer sites or marketing events.
Once installed they are easy to maintain.

Powered by SimU Campus™
Heavy equipment simulator training provides
a way for operators to gain familiarization of controls and
practice training exercises designed to address many of
the component skills associated with operating actual
machines. This practical pre-training makes a great
addition to any overall training program. Find out how
operators perform on the simulators by using SimU
Campus™ records management software. This program
provides a method to record and report user performance
in each simulator training module. SimU Campus
management software can be used with all models of
Cat Simulators. It runs on the same computer as the
simulator software, making it easy to get user results.
SimU Campus management software allows instructors
to customize the curriculum to best fit their training
program. The software includes benchmarks based on
expert data compiled from experienced Cat heavy
machine operators and allows instructors the option to
change or use these default measurements as their user
benchmarks. Test operators, choose reports and find out
whether they pass or fail immediately. Then customize
training curriculums for new or experienced operators
based on their individual training needs.
