Crane Industry Services LLC (CIS)<\/a> joined CM Labs Simulations<\/a> at the International Construction & Utility Equipment Expo (ICUEE), in Louisville, Ky., in October.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

CIS<\/a> deploys Vortex simulators at its Centered on Safety training center for crane operator training and qualification. The company has found that it is a more affordable option for operators. Operators are able to transfer skills learned from a simulator to machine operation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the show, Debbie Dickinson, CEO of CIS<\/a>, spoke to attendees participating in ICUEE Field Classrooms. Dickinson explained the importance of simulator training for heavy equipment operation used in utility work. \u201cTraditional training requires seat time that incurs costs associated with equipment, fuel, supervisors, and riggers. Simulation training helps operators reach a reliable skill level without those costs, as well as an opportunity to learn in a risk-free environment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The next step CIS takes is to transition the operators from simulation to actual machines, where operators learn to control loads, place loads on targets, and react wisely to certain conditions. Then, Dickinson explains, \u201cWe often return from the crane to the simulator to practice skills that proved to be challenging in the actual crane.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ICUEE walking tour \u201cSafety Tech Trek\u201d highlighted the latest in construction technology. Instructor Abby Ferri, a safety professional and President of The Ferri Group, showcased exhibitors, which apply safety technology in the utility industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

ICUEE\u2019s Field Classrooms brought education and learning to the show floor, with content geared to those new to the industry. \u201cThe Safety Tech Trek was one of many subjects of importance to attendees, including toolbox and tailgate talks, disaster simulation and smart utility infrastructure. The Field Classrooms were curated by experts in the field,\u201d said Brooke Konopacki, Director of Educational Programs for the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.<\/p>\n

Participants on the Tech Trek Tour asked Dickinson how the simulator training time compared to training on a crane. \u201cOn average, four hours of crane seat time equates to one hour of practice on Vortex simulators from CM Labs<\/a>,\u201d she said. Once a strong foundation is established and skills are documented, CIS trainers are able to train on cranes or earthmoving machines. \u201cThere is no faster, safer, more expedient way to train heavy equipment operators,\u201d said Dickinson.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
