PEORIA, Ill., Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Simformotion™ LLC, a leader in heavy equipment simulator training solutions, today announced the release of the new Cat® Simulators Small Dozer system. Set in a construction environment, the hands-on training system teaches learners how to operate the Small Dozer, including inspecting the machine, maneuvering it off and onto a trailer, backfilling, V-ditch building and more.
Students and operators can train anytime and anywhere using simulators without the need to take a costly machine out of production or worry about the weather, all while ensuring the operator's safety.
"We often hear of the struggles companies are having when it comes to finding skilled operators. By using Cat Simulators systems, which can be both safe and cost-effective, for a portion of their heavy equipment operator training, companies can develop their workforce," says Simformotion CEO Lara Aaron.
"Our customers also need to teach accurate and consistent techniques to increase production and reduce costs," adds Aaron. "We develop Cat Simulators based on feedback from real-world users and Caterpillar's subject-matter experts. The new Small Dozer simulator system trains learners using authentic Cat® controls, teaches applications found on real-world jobsites and provides best-in-class operator training."
Cat Simulators Small Dozer system is available in multiple languages and features authentic Cat controls, a motion system and exclusive walkaround machine inspection training. It also 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 companion SimScholars™ online curriculum, a one-to-one match with the simulator training exercises, which can be used in the classroom or for remote learning. The interactive, turn-key training solution features instructor guides, videos, quizzes and more. By integrating the Cat Simulators Small Dozer system with SimScholars curriculum, training programs can provide a unique, blended learning experience.
Add VR Edition for even more training value and a more immersive experience. With the VR headset and patented VR NOW™ technology, users experience a larger view of the virtual environment with greater depth perception. The Small Dozer simulator is portable and easy to move from a training room to a trailer to satellite locations.
In addition to the new Small Dozer system, Cat Simulators are available in many other models for the construction, mining and forestry industries. Visit www.catsimulators.com for more information.
