Fully Immersive Operator Chair Experience from Simlog
Hands-On Simulation for Real-World Crane Operation

Train crane operators with a highly immersive simulation of a freestanding, top-slewing tower crane with trolley jib. The Tower Crane Personal Simulator provides detailed instrument feedback, including slew angle, working radius, hook height, and load weight. Trainees can change viewpoints mid-operation and experience authentic operational challenges within a virtual environment.

This PC-based solution can run on your own hardware or be bundled with Simlog’s pre-installed software in English, French, or Spanish. It’s a scalable, cost-effective training tool ideal for schools, unions, and workforce development programs.

Key Features

  • Highly realistic simulation graphics and physics
  • 6 Simulation Modules of increasing difficulty
  • 10 Performance Indicators to evaluate operational performance
  • USB-ready controls with multiple mounting options
  • Support for frequency-converter and pole-changing trolley motors
  • Adjustable control responsiveness (slow/fast/reverse)
  • Switchable viewpoints from inside and outside the cabin

Simulator Controls

The Tower Crane Personal Simulator offers flexible hardware configurations that deliver a true-to-life operating experience. Whether using Simlog’s multi-use Replica Controls or the full Operator Chair, the system offers excellent value, training consistency, and user adaptability across multiple Simlog products.

Replica Controls feature heavy-duty USB-ready joysticks with eight push-buttons and a trigger. These versatile components are compatible with multiple Simlog Personal Simulators, allowing training programs to maximize their hardware investment.

These controls can be mounted using tabletop brackets or integrated into a full Operator Chair system. Add a durable travel case to store and transport all components with ease.

Software Description

The simulation software for the Tower Crane Personal Simulator offers a structured, skills-based training experience designed to mirror the complexities of real-world lifting operations. Each module builds progressively, introducing core crane functions before advancing to scenarios that demand precision, planning, and obstacle navigation. Trainees develop situational awareness and load control proficiency in a risk-free environment. The software also supports dynamic configuration settings that allow for fine-tuning motor behavior and control responsiveness, ensuring adaptability to various crane models and training goals.

Six simulation modules progressively teach crane operation—from basic movements to complex lifts. Scenarios include obstacle navigation, steel erection, and load placement. The software supports adjustable parameters for hoist speed, load charts, and motor configurations.

  • Load Control 1
  • Load Control 2
  • Executing Lifts
  • Steel Erection
  • Concrete Bucket Placement
  • Form Following

Performance Indicators track operational safety and efficiency through diagnostic feedback—not just pass/fail scoring. KPIs include:

  • Execution time
  • Maximum load sway
  • Load/obstacle collisions
  • 2-blocking occurrences
