Empty Container Handler Simulator

Maintain maximum productivity while improving skills with simulation-based training.

Overview

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.

Port & Container Terminal

Equipment training packs

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.
