  • Rubber-Tire Gantry Crane
  • Rail-Mounted Container Gantry Crane
  • Forklift
  • Rough Terrain Cargo Handler
  • Reach Stacker
  • Boom Jib Harbor Crane
  • Shipboard Gantry Crane


Most Affordable and Stable Hardware Architecture

A modular strategy leverages the powerful capabilities of the modern PC. This modular strategy means the ML4000 base unit utilizes existing and proven simulation modules designed through years of cutting edge development efforts to create a new, more powerful and more affordable simulation training solution.


Multi-Channel High-Resolution Image Generator and Display Subsystem

Our systems use the latest technology for manipulating and displaying the 3D graphics during trainer operation. The image subsystem provides high update rates (minimum of 60 Hz), exceptional visual image content, and a highly reliable display projection system to provide realistic out-the-window graphics. The customer may choose from high definition plasmas or LCDs, rear projection or edge-blended, geometrically warped images on an immersize, spherical dome.


Motion System
A four degree-of-freedom motion system is used to provide movement in the pitch, yaw, lateral, and longitudinal directions.

Reconfigurable Controls

The ML4000 enables the operator to easily swap controls between various crane types, thereby utilizing a single hardware base to simulate multiple equipment types.

Instructor Station

An instructor station is integrated to provide the instructor with a robust tool for controling the simulation environment, monitoring trainee progress, and tracking performance statistics.

Full Team Training (SimFusion)

The ML4000 can be networked with other GlobalSim simulators to provide an enhanced full team training environment. This is critical to create an appropriate level of realism to prepare each trainee for the challenges of real-world operations.

Each of the Modules Includes the Following Components:
  • A dynamic crane software model that replicates the handling and lift characteristics of the actual crane.
  • An out-the-window visual representation of the view the crane operator observes when operating the actual equipment.
  • A control set providing all controls, switches, and indicators found on the actual crane.

Each of the ML4000 crane modules provide standard crane functionality and controls. However, GlobalSim can conform the control sets and models to a wide range of specific crane manufacturers and control systems.
