The backhoe simulator provides operators with the coordination and digging techniques they need to master safe, efficient operations.
The Backhoe Simulator Training Pack highlights the versatility of this “jack of all trades,” with exercises designed to teach operators the full potential of the equipment. It’s the only solution on the market that is capable of simulating a backhoe’s backlash and instability.
Thanks to this capability, the Backhoe Simulator Training Pack is ideal for teaching novices critical transferable skills, such as how to leverage backhoe flexibility, and control its center of gravity for maximal efficiency on the job site.
CM Labs is the only simulator on the market that accurately replicates machine stability—providing real-world training opportunities to help reduce the risk of accidents and improve operator efficiency.
With the Backhoe Simulator Training Pack, trainees learn how to conduct careful, methodical operations, thanks to the simulated looseness in the machine’s linkage, which replicates that of the real backhoe.
The training pack also simulates changes in stability and traction as tires are placed under stress by rapid movements or heavy loads — and the simulated backhoe can even tip as a result of instability. This gives trainees the opportunity to learn from their mistakes, without the risk of damaging equipment or injuring themselves.
The Training Pack features learning exercises ranging from beginner to advanced, designed to progressively teach precision and efficiencies:
- Understanding the controls and vehicle positioning
- Loading and unloading from trailer
- Bucket positioning
- Earth moving and transport
- Stockpile management
- Excavation and grading
- Truck loading
- Using the quick coupler
The Training Pack gives trainers objective insight into student performance metrics such as:
- Movement efficiency and accuracy
- Collisions and shock loads
- Fuel consumption, cycle time
- Volume of material excavated per bucket load
