[INDUSTRY NEWS]
load charts and lift plans build awareness of the crane’s capabilities and the tasks to be performed before starting operations. Kouladjian notes that the new nighttime
operation mode will allow student operators to have the opportunity to gain experience working at any time of day—a feature unique to CM Labs’ simulations. “A worksite looks very different at night because of site lighting. The simulated environment can help LTC student operators become acclimatized to the differences in shadows and perspective presented by nighttime operations.” The LTC Training Pack also provides
an expanded tool-set for the training, mentoring, and evaluation of student operators. Scoring for each scenario is now customizable, allowing the instructor to evaluate the operator’s performance according to their own standards. Optional visualization tools allow the student operator to see the boom tip and hook block in relation to lift objects, providing a quick feedback tool for assessing depth.
All simulation and training features
included in the LTC Training Pack are also available immediately in a simultaneous update of the existing Flat-Top Tower Crane Training Pack. All Vortex Construction Training Packs
can be run on any Vortex Construction Equipment Simulator. This includes the immersive Vortex Advantage, the portable- yet-powerful Vortex Trainer, and the new Vortex Edge laptop simulator designed for classroom instruction. Learn more at
