Replica Controls for Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator

Table-top Mounting Brackets

In addition to low cost PC Controls consisting of off-the-shelf input devices, and the more expensive OEM Controls, with parts from the operator controls of real heavy equipment, Replica Controls feature industrial strength components to offer an intermediate level of realism at an intermediate price.

The joystick model presented here may also be used with (in alphabetical order) our Forwarder, Harvester, Mobile Crane, Tower Crane, and Wheel Loader Personal Simulators.

There are a total of 8 push-buttons for the thumb, plus a trigger (not shown), to let you change the viewpoint by looking to the left/right, looking up/down, and by changing the viewing mode during the simulation. The USB electronics are built right into the base, so the joystick can be connected directly to your PC. The unit price is USD$1,025 or USD$2,050 per pair.

(As an alternative, we also offer Replica Controls with 1 Pushbutton to reproduce the functionality of the joysticks in real cabins.)

Simlog has developed a USB-ready Replica Controls Pedal Unit with the very same shape and toe-down/heel-down action of real hydraulic excavator pedals. Having these pedals will enhance the overall effectiveness of your excavator operator training program and reduce your training costs, by helping trainees learn the hands-and-feet coordination required to operate real hydraulic excavators. Unit pricing for the Replica Controls Pedal Unit is just USD$1,000.

(If you choose to not have pedals, the joysticks alone can be used as travel levers.)

Simlog can also provide table-top mounting brackets to bring the PC joysticks down from table-top height to the sides of an ordinary chair, to better mimic the positioning of real controls in the cabin of real heavy equipment.

All pricing before shipping/handling and applicable taxes. International visitors may wish to use our currency converter to convert $USD pricing into another currency.

Lead time is six to eight weeks, so be sure to contact Simlog well in advance!
