New training pack from CM Labs

Canadian developer CM Labs Simulations has released a new Luffing Tower Crane (LTC) Training Pack, the first simulation-based LTC training platform on the market.

Now available across the full catalogue of Vortex Construction Equipment Simulators, the LTC Training Pack is CM Labs' most feature-rich crane simulation to date. It provides a structured set of scenarios to promote crane skills development, including building awareness of the crane’s capabilities and the tasks to be performed before starting operations.

The pack also includes a new nighttime operation mode which allows student operators to gain experience working at any time of day—a feature unique to CM Labs’ simulations. The pack also provides an expanded tool-set for the training, mentoring, and evaluation of student operators. All simulation and training features included in the LTC Training Pack are also available now in a simultaneous update of the existing Flat-Top Tower Crane Training Pack.

All Vortex Construction Training Packs can be run on any Vortex Construction Equipment Simulator. This includes Vortex Advantage, the portable Vortex Trainer, and the new Vortex Edge laptop simulator designed for classroom instruction.

Technical product manager Seza Kouladjian said: "Cities are tight working environments with most mandating the use of luffing tower cranes for safety reasons. While training on a real crane is both difficult and dangerous, our LTC Training Pack changes this dynamic, making training safer for everyone."
