Crane Hot Line is part of the Catalyst Communications Network publication family.
Industrial Training International (ITI) is revolutionizing crane training through advanced technologies and partnerships with major manufacturers like Liebherr, Link-Belt, Tadano, and Terex. ITI’s Virtual Reality (VR) Crane & Equipment Training suite provides immersive, realistic simulations that mirror actual crane operations, enabling operators to hone their skills safely and cost-effectively.
The VR training suite features nine crane models and over 1,000 scenarios, offering diverse challenges to improve workforce competency. ITI’s VR training has been adopted by companies like Kiewit Energy Canada and Fraser River Pile and Dredge to enhance safety and elevate employee skill levels. Kiewit, for instance, benefited from ITI’s advanced rigging training at the Kearl Oil Sands, while Fraser River improved critical lift planning for hazardous environments.
Additionally, CM Labs Simulations has introduced the Intellia Intelligent Training System, offering enhanced simulation tools for heavy equipment operators. This system includes tools like the Intellia Instructor, Drone View and specialized Training Packs for various types of cranes, further supporting workforce development.
Both ITI and CM Labs are shaping the future of crane training by integrating cutting-edge technology, ensuring higher safety standards, and improving efficiency in the construction and industrial sectors.
