VORTEX SIMULATORS

Give your heavy-lift operators the edge on safety they need. Put them in VxAdvantage’s immersive scenarios to efficiently build important skills that prepare them for multiple worksite challenges. Operating perfectly duplicated machines, students perform typical lift tasks on ultra-realistic worksites. They use actual equipment controls, pedals and load moment indicators (LMIs), hear authentic machine noises, and experience a wide variety of work and environmental conditions – all leading to important skills for working on the real machines.

The Vortex VxAdvantage simulator provides a cost effective solution for training equipment operators - available in one to three display configurations.

VxAdvantage Highlights

The VxAdvantage is available in single, two and three large-screen HD display configurations. It packs many of the same features as the VxMaster, but in a smaller and highly portable footprint. With the three configurable display option – it can provide the visual sightlines needed for both boom and gantry or tower operations. It uses the same controls, operator chair and LMI/SLI as the VxMaster. Display mounts are all assembled in a single unit – making set-up very easy. VxAdvantage is the perfect solution where portability and off-site instruction is required.

• Flexible training platform: Can accommodate one or more heavy-lift equipment types for construction, ports, offshore and custom operations.
• Practical, in-depth scenarios: Exercises cover typical equipment operations like lifting and moving containers, unloading trucks or ships, laying pipe, working near power lines, constructing buildings, assembling tower cranes and manipulating a manbasket.
• Ensures skills acquisition: Many features enhance learning, including beginner through advanced graduated exercises, performance metrics, navigation aids and certification-level scenarios.
• Immersive training: Features up to three large wide-screen HD displays, headtracker, authentic crane joysticks and pedals, LMI, machine and ambient sound effects, plus optional weather and light/shadow controls.
• Highly scalable: The modular design enables easy mounting of HD displays, the integration of other machines and lift scenarios, and the addition of an instructor’s console for extending training and learning features.
• Portable solution: Designed for rapid assembly/disassembly and transport to other sites, the installed VxAdvantage also includes retractable wheels that allow it to be easily moved within a training facility.
