 Simulator Training
Cat® Simulator training provides a way for operators to gain
familiarization and understanding of machine controls, and learn
proper handling procedures before training on actual machines.
The simulated environment affords a safe place to learn and make
mistakes without harm to the jobsite, machines or personnel. A
variety of training exercises designed to address each of the
component skills associated 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 without the risks and costs of traditional opera-
tor training. Experienced operators can also benefit from simula-
tor training by refining skills to increase production levels.

Measure Progress
Trainees progress from entry-level control orientation through
complex operator exercises. Difficulty increases as successive
modules build on skills from previous ones. Instant feedback,
unavailable in real-world training, measures improvement.

Wheel Tractor-Scraper Simulator
Training Module Contents
Wheel tractor-scraper simulator training provides an excellent foundation for an
operator training program. New operators can begin training before they drive
actual machines, while experienced operators can refine skill sets. Scraper
training is set in four environments: highway day, highway night, residential
day and residential night. Scraper training modules cover the following topics:

Machine Walk Around.

Around Learn pre-
operation machine inspection procedures
to ensure proper operating condition.
Controls Familiarization.
Familiarization Learn and
understand the operator controls. Learn
proper sequence of operation. Receive
tips for best operation.
Corridor Driving.
Driving Perform a complete
haul cycle on the job site with an empty
bowl. Instructor can set from 1 to 10 laps
(cycles).
Hauling. Haul a load of material around
the site, become familiar with additional
weight of machine. Instructor can set
from 1 to 10 laps (cycles).
Loading. Fill the bowl with material as
efficiently as possible, while keeping the cut
depth as even as possible.
Production Cycle. Complete a full
production cycle combining all previous
exercises: Start up procedures, Driving,
Loading, Unloading and Parking. Instructor
can set from 1 to 10 laps (cycles).
Free Drive. Student and instructor can
work on specific curriculum and training.
Allows instructor to expand
functionality of simulator to customize
training for each student according to
individual needs. Train beginner,
intermediate or advanced sessions.

Unloading. Gain expertise with dumping

a load of material while maintaining a
smooth and even pour.
Training Metrics
Learn to drive, haul,
Each training exercise measures and records the operator’s simulation sessions so instructors,
load, unload and more
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. Repeating
with simulated modules
the exercises before moving on to actual machine training better ensures that the operator, job that provide an
site personnel and the machine are protected from mishaps. excellent foundation
The Scraper measures results in many areas. For example, the Walk Around Inspections module
for an overall operator
tests knowledge in 105 inspection points. Here is a sampling of areas of measurement:
training program!
• Smooth Transition Entering/Exiting Loading & Unloading Zones
• Proper Operation of Machine Components
• Depth of Cut
• Ejector Positioning Loading/Unloading/Carrying Fill
• Use of Cushion Hitch, Differential Lock
• Maintain Level Cut; Level Work Area
• Efficient Loading Over Length of Cut
• Dump Patterns
• Controlling Lift Thickness when Spreading Material
• Follow Traffic Patterns Correctly, Avoid Slowing Production Down While Operating
• Proper Control of Cutting Edge Height for Loading & Unloading
• Distance Driven
• Average Speed
• Wheel Spin
• Fuel Consumption
GEN 2 Hardware Specifications

Find a location for your simulators that will allow enough space for the footprint. Side pods
swing open from either side to allow entry to the seat. You may set the simulator against a
wall as long as the operator has access from one side.

• Boxed Size: 77” x 53” x 36” (49677.32 x

34193.48 x 23225.76mm)
• Total Estimated Weight: 410 lbs
• Requires Standard 110 voltage
• Requires one receptacle per simulator with the
use of a UPS power strip.

Environment
No specific environmental requirements other than
heat and air-conditioning. Considerations should be
taken for multiple simulators in the same area.

Weatherizing
Simulators are a PC based system. Follow PC
requirements, including avoiding excessive heat,
moisture and dust.

Portability
Cat Simulators can be easily mounted into a
portable truck/trailer environment for transfer
and use.

Seat is adjustable (Forward, Back & Recline).

 Training Records Management
Powered by SimU Campus™
Find out how operators perform on the simulators by using the new SimU Campus™
management software. This program provides a method to record and report user
performance in each simulator training module. The 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 training records 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 specific training curriculums for new or experienced
operators based on their individual training needs.
SimU Campus Benefits
• Create a unique “account” for each simulator user, with a unique user login name and password.
• Use the simulator in practice mode until ready to record in exam mode.
• Print detailed reports for the class, individual student, specific exercises and more.
• Save performance results as an individual record within a database under user accounts.
• Restrict access to simulation results in the database according to need. A student can only review his/her simulation results,
but instructors can review class results. An administrator can view all accounts.
• Organize users into “classes” to utilize a single computer for different simulation software applications.
• Manage simulator usage by authorizing different classes to use different simulators on the
same training computer.
• Allow simultaneous operation of multiple simulator training stations.
• Network one instructor or administrator computer to allow data captured from multiple
simulation stations.
• Aid in management and utilization of simulator-based learning activities.
• Technical support is included. The support staff will answer any questions or
trouble-shooting needs.
