IUOE Local 14 Elevates Training for New York City Crane Operators with a


CM Labs Crane Simulator


BY: MALA DEWAN, PRODUCT MARKETING MANAGER, CM LABS


Te City of New York mandated that operators have specialized training on cranes with booms 300’ and longer. In order to enhance training methods, Local 14 of the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) looked for a simulator to effectively and safely train Operating Engineers. CM Labs developed a custom simulator to the exact specifications of the client and manufacturer. Tis solution provided the detail, realism, and confidence that Local 14 required to maintain the highest level of competence for its crane operators. Te bar was set high to provide New York City with the safest, most productive, and well-informed heavy equipment operators. Accomplishing this requires the most advanced teaching techniques and tools. Because of the company’s reputation for replicating the motion and feel of real construction equipment through its Smart Training Technology™, CM Labs was the obvious selection.

CM Labs’ customized crane simulator exceeded


the client’s expectations. Te result was a solution that would accelerate learning and have a measurable impact on safety. What’s more, the simulator would capture attention at the highest level and carry the distinction as the first and only simulator approved by city officials for operator qualification.


A CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT Imagine the responsibility of operating a 300’ boom crane in North America’s most densely populated setting and you’ll understand why a New York City (NYC) crane license is arguably the most difficult of its kind to obtain in the United States. Even under ideal and open conditions, the operation of construction equipment has its risks. And within the confines of an urban environment such risks increase exponentially. International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 14 members sit behind the controls of NYC’s heavy equipment ranging from cranes, excavators and drill rigs, to boom trucks, pavers, and forklifts, etc. As construction equipment becomes more sophisticated, the importance of training is amplified. Under the direction of IUOE 14 Business Manager, Ed Christian, training and safety have taken on new levels of importance and urgency. With a mission to maintain its
