Maintain maximum productivity while improving skills with simulation-based training.
The empty container handler (ECH) simulator training pack allows you to prepare trainees for the realities of operating equipment in a busy terminal, without placing equipment or personnel at risk or decreasing productivity.
It’s the only ECH training solution on the market that allows operators to experience the effects of unbalanced loads and other causes of machine instability.
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 ECH simulator, trainees learn how to operate equipment in a way that demonstrates respect for co-workers, other equipment and the terminal in general. Our field-proven learning methodology ensures skills learned on a Vortex simulator are transferred directly to the real equipment:
- Progressive learning program replicating terminal operations
- Picking and stacking 20-, 40-, and 45-ft containers up to 8-high
- Port driving and traffic rules
- Adapting to the challenge of variable weather and wind conditions
The ECH simulator training pack delivers a true-to-life, stimulating experience based on the behaviour and mechanics of the real machine, including load limits and the ability to topple when improperly handled.
The ECH simulator features a fully-modeled, two-stage mast ECH, providing a superior training experience that delivers safer, more efficient drivers:
-
Simulation of all major components to manufacturer specifications
-
20- and 40-ft mode
-
Includes equipment lights, mirrors and sounds
-
Spreader-landed sensor
-
Integrated with machine control system
-
Nighttime operations
Mast height: 10.1 m (33 feet)
Load capacity: 9 tonnes (9.92 US tons)
Max speed: 27 km/h (16.8 mph)
The ECH Simulator Training Pack can be installed on any Vortex port equipment simulator hardware, with different configurations to meet your budget, space, and training requirements. Designed for years of 24/7 operator training, Vortex simulators are built to last.
- Vortex Trainer: Entrylevel desktop training
- Vortex Advantage: Motion-enabled training station
- Vortex MasterCab: Highimmersion training
The IOS enables instructors to initiate Vortex Port Equipment Simulator exercise sessions and engage trainees by exposing them to the types of variable conditions they will experience in the real world.
Train operators to proficiency ahead of remote crane delivery, with the market’s only Remote Operating Station (ROS) desk simulator that integrates with OEM control systems.
Training and assessment anywhere with CM Labs’ Mobile Training Center.
Simplify integration of your simulator, with guidane for set up, start-up, and beyond.
From ship-to-shore and ship pedestal cranes, to reachstacker and other cargo handling equipment, we offer a wide range of ports and container terminal equipment training simulators that can run on a single hardware platform.
Realistic simulators are an effective tool to evaluate and assess operators for both efficiency and safety. Tracking vital metrics across the entire training scenario, instructors can review statistics after completion, allowing for detailed after-action reviews and reporting.
