Simlog’s Personal Simulators are recognized for offering the lowest cost-per-station on the market, especially when customers take advantage of common requirements for simulator controls. Since many of our Personal Simulators can use the very same ones, Simlog can offer you the unique cost-efficiency of multi-purpose (multi-software) simulator stations.
Multi-Purpose configurations are available in both tabletop mounting and operator chair options. Select the Personal Simulator software that fits your training requirements, along with the corresponding Multi-Purpose simulator controls that can be used for multiple Personal Simulators. Thanks to the convenience of USB connectivity, simply connect the specific elements needed for each Personal Simulator. Here are some examples. (No displays are presented here, because the number of possible displays varies with each product, from just one to four.)
With two multi-purpose joysticks, these Replica Controls are suitable for our Skid Steer Loader and Mobile Crane Personal Simulators. Add the 2-pedal unit to work with our Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator, or the 3-pedal unit to work with our Bulldozer Personal Simulator.
This Operator Chair with two-multi-purpose joysticks can be used with the Skid Steer Loader and Mobile Crane Personal Simulators. Add the 2-pedal unit to work with our Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator, or the 3-pedal unit to work with our Bulldozer Personal Simulator.
By adding the Logitech “G920 Driving Force Racing Wheel” consisting of a steering wheel and a three-pedal unit, and the “G920 Driving Force Shifter,” a gear shifter, (the Logitech pedals replace Simlog’s 3-pedal unit) you can create a comprehensive multi-purpose station suitable for our Backhoe Loader, Wheel Loader, Skid Steer Loader, Bulldozer, and Mobile Crane Personal Simulators. Add the 2-pedal unit to work with our Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator. The same setup is also suitable for our Forklift Personal Simulator (using joysticks), or you can add levers with additional brackets (not shown here).
This Operator Chair with industrial steering wheel and pedals, can be configured with two-multi-purpose joysticks to work with our Backhoe Loader, Wheel Loader, Skid Steer Loader, Bulldozer, and Mobile Crane Personal Simulators. Add the 2-pedal unit to work with our Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator. The same setup is also suitable for Forklift (using joysticks), or you can add levers and a special bracket for the right hand (not shown here).
Most Simlog customers are training many people at the same time and for that reason, they have deployed Simulator Labs with multiple simulator stations.
Simlog’s unmatched cost-effectiveness means that you can now afford multiple simulator stations, instead of just one high-priced turnkey system, to change training “dynamics” in two important ways.
- You can have more people training at the same time.
- Each person can now receive more simulator-based help in the same time amount of scheduled training time.
Simlog customers are creating their own Simlog simulator labs, with specialized software and simulator controls at each station, as shown in the following pictures.
This lab at the Anchorage School District (USA) consists of six laptop-based stations with tabletop Replica Controls for training with Simlog’s Forklift and Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulators. Each station also has a travel case (not shown in the photographs), because the stations regularly move from school to school within the district.
The Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Center lab at Roosevelt Warm Springs (USA) consists of three simulation stations each equipped with Simlog’s Operator Chair, one for Forklift Personal Simulator, one for Hydraulic Excavator Personal Simulator, and one for Bulldozer Personal Simulator. Each simulator station multiple displays.
This lab at Omaha Public Schools (USA) consists of two stations with tabletop Replica Controls for Simlog’s Forklift Personal Simulator.
This lab at Durham College (Canada) consists of four stations, all equipped with Simlog’s Operator Chairs for Mobile Crane Personal Simulator training.
This lab at Miami Northwestern Senior High School (USA) consists of two Forklift Personal Simulator stations equipped with tabletop Replica Controls and four displays (three front, one rear).
This lab at Putnam Vocational Technical Academy (USA) consists of six stations, all equipped with Operator Chairs for training with Simlog’s Backhoe Loader, Bulldozer, Forklift, Hydraulic Excavator, Mobile Crane, and Wheel Loader Personal Simulators. All simulator stations are equipped with four displays (three front, one rear).
The lab at the InTech Center (USA) consists of four Forklift Personal Simulator stations with tabletop Replica Controls and two displays (one front, one rear), and one Forklift Personal Simulator station with Operator Chair and four displays (three front, one rear) not shown in these photographs.
Most Simlog customers deploy their simulator stations in a permanent way, and so people come to the Personal Simulator to train. But some Simlog customers rely on our Custom Travel Cases to safely, and securely, move their Personal Simulators among multiple sites.
However, of our business partners and customers have instead created their own mobile training units using a trailer or sea container, in order to bring their Personal Simulators to wherever operator training is needed.
Mobile Training Units
This mobile training unit was prepared by the South Carolina Trucking Association’s workforce development program to introduce middle school and high school students to skilled trades. Inside the trailer is Simlog’s Forklift Personal Simulator with tabletop Replica Controls and a single 60” display connected to a laptop PC.
This mobile training unit was prepared by a Simlog business partner for deployment by their customer, a mining company, in Mozambique. There are a total of six custom “operator chair” setups in the sea container for Bulldozer, Hydraulic Excavator, Mobile Crane, Off-Highway Truck, and Wheel Loader Personal Simulators.
Bechtel Corporation, a leading engineering, construction, and project management company with headquarters in the United States, prepared five sea containers, to deploy simulator stations at their job sites around the world. Each container is equipped with two multi-purposed Simlog Operator Chairs, one with steering wheel and one without, for the following Personal Simulators: Mobile Crane, Tower Crane, Hydraulic Excavator, Bulldozer, Wheel Loader, Off-Highway Truck, and Forklift.
This mobile training unit was prepared by Local 115 of the International Union of Operating Engineers in Canada. Inside the trailer are three simulator stations, one for training Mobile Crane operators, and two for training Hydraulic Excavator operators.
Portable Simulator Stations
Assiniboine Community College in Canada uses 20 dedicated and multi-purpose portable simulation stations to support workforce training at municipalities and heavy equipment owner/operators in the Province of Manitoba.
The stations are all equipped with tabletop Replica Controls and feature the following Personal Simulators: Hydraulic Excavator, Bulldozer, Wheel Loader, Off-Highway Truck, and Forklift.
Although Simlog can provide an Operator Chair for each of our Personal Simulators, some of our business partners and customers have instead prepared their own custom setups, on occasion with parts from real heavy equipment such as operator seats and cabins. Here are some examples.
This custom setup for Forklift Personal Simulator was prepared by a Simlog business partner for their customer in Indonesia, a major automotive manufacturer. At the customer’s request, the displays are in the vertical “portrait” mode (instead of the more usual horizontal “landscape” mode).
These custom setups were prepared by a Simlog business partner for deployment by their customer, a mining company, in South Africa. There are a total of five simulator stations for Drill Jumbo, Off-Highway Truck, and Wheel Loader Personal Simulators.
This Operator Chair was prepared by Local 324 of the International Union of Operating Engineers (USA), featuring Replica Controls and simulation software for Simlog’s Hydraulic Excavator and Mobile Crane Personal Simulators.
Six operator chairs with fibreglass “cabins” at the Société Ivoirienne de Technologies” (Ivory Coast), featuring Replica and PC Controls and simulation software for Simlog’s Bulldozer, Forklift, Hydraulic Excavator, Mobile Crane, Off-Highway Truck, and Wheel Loader Personal Simulators. (Just three of the simulator stations are visible in the photograph.)
