Mobile port crane simulator
Comprehensive simulator for specialized training of port mobile crane operators.
The crane is modeled after Konecranes Gottwald ESP.8
functionalities:
Quay maneuvering
Train operators to efficiently perform precise maneuvers on the quay, accounting for limited space and obstacles typically found in port environments.
Driving on the quay
Practice safe and controlled movement of the crane along the quay, with attention to speed, braking, and navigation around other port activities.
Switching between driving and lifting modes
Guide operators through seamless transitions between driving and crane operation modes, emphasizing safety and mechanical stability during shifts.
Load selection and handling
Allow operators to practice with different types of cargo (i.e., sand, coal, big bags, pipes) to master load-specific handling techniques and weight distribution.
Ship-to-quay and quay-to-ship loading
Simulate realistic loading and unloading operations between the ship and quay, focusing on accuracy, speed, and coordination.
Train loading via funnel
Train operators in loading bulk materials onto trains using funnels, ensuring correct funnel positioning and even distribution of materials.
Bulk cargo distribution in the hold
Teach even distribution of bulk materials within the ship’s hold to prevent imbalance, reduce shifting risks, and optimize storage space.
Handling dangerous situations
Prepare operators for emergency scenarios, such as broken cables, overloads, or crane instability, with appropriate response procedures for safe resolution.
max load 150 tonnes
Train with loads up to 150 t.

Recommended simulation platforms
Simulation in VR technology
Full immersion in virtual reality (VR) for realistic training.
A platform integrated with a VR application
Two or three degrees of freedom, allowing every movement of the machine in the VR application to be mirrored on the platform, enabling the trainee to feel the machine's movements.
full immersion
A sense of depth provided by VR goggles, actuators, and highly realistic graphics.
Versatility
One platform for various machines, with the ability to easily reconfigure for different machines.
mobility
A lightweight, easily transportable platform on wheels that allows for quick and convenient setup and teardown.
Interchangeable panels with control levers
Component swapping without tools during operation (Hot Swap), allowing for quick adaptation to any machine through interchangeable parts. The platform is equipped with original components from real machines.

why it's worth it?
increasing safety
The simulator allows for training in a safe, controlled environment, eliminating the risks associated with real port operations.
realistic experience
With advanced 3D modeling and sound design, the training is highly realistic, which enhances participant engagement and learning effectiveness.
training flexibility
The simulator offers the ability to train under various weather conditions and with different loads, enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the training.
savings
Investing in a simulator eliminates the need to rent real vehicles for training, significantly reducing costs related to equipment maintenance and operation. It also allows for more frequent and flexible training sessions.
Reducing the cost of errors
Through simulations of various emergency situations, trainees learn to handle problems without incurring costly errors in real-world operations.
Monitoring and analyzing progress
The software for generating reports and maintaining a student database enables precise tracking of progress and results, allowing for effective training management and optimization of educational programs.
Improving operator skills
Regular training in virtual reality helps refine skills and techniques for operating vehicles, thereby increasing operational efficiency.
