Essential Simulator
The GlobalSim Essential Simulator is designed to provide a high-level training experience for crane operators. It comes equipped with multiple 65-inch 4K displays, an operator chair on an optional 3-DOF motion base pedestal, built-in VR functionality, and a full-featured instructor station with Scenario Editor and Drone View capabilities. Additionally, the system includes a hand-eye-foot coordination tool to test operators' natural coordination abilities.
Mid-level simulator for training operators on a wide variety of cranes and heavy equipment.






OEM Controls
Simulator controls are designed with joysticks, buttons, and switches to match the real equipment. Alarm and indicator panels are also included on some crane models. In many cases, materials are sourced from the OEM providers.
On the underside of each set of controls are fasteners and clamps to allow for interchangeability of controls. Changing controls sets and launching a new software model on a GlobalSim simulator takes very little time (typically less than 5 minutes).

Motion Base
The Essential system can (as an option) include a 3-DOF Pedestal style Motion Base featuring movements in pitch, roll and heave. These are common motions felt in many cranes and the motion system provides a degree of realism and immersion that is ideal for training equipment operators. However, the motion system can easily be deactivated at any time - which may be appropriate for certain crane types and training environments.

Virtual Reality (VR)
Virtual Reality (VR) capability is available as an option with the simulator. Students can choose to wear the headset to experience the enhanced realism that virtual reality provides (including virtual cab and controls). The headset and virtual reality equipment are integrated into the hardware of the system. The student or instructor can choose the best visual medium for the training. Many of our clients prefer to introduce the VR capabilities to the student after they have become familiar learning the basic operations on the simulator.

Integrated Instructor Station
The Instructor Station is a key component of the training simulator and acts as a hub whereby instructors, trainers, and observers can monitor the actions of a student on the simulator. The instructor can create scenarios, change settings, access the student database, and completely control the training environment surrounding the simulator.
Typically, the instructor's station is set up on a desk next to the simulator or in an adjacent room. The Instructor Station includes a desk, a printer for quickly printing reports and statistics, and four 32-inch flat-screen displays networked with the simulator.
