Mining Truck Simulators

Hauling is at the heart of mine production, and operator efficiency is key to minimizing your cost per ton. ThoroughTec’s Cat Mining Truck Simulators cover the full range of Caterpillar’s electric and mechanical drive fleet, using the latest simulation and adult learning technologies to teach operators the skills they require to get the most from their machines.

Hydraulic Mining Shovel Simulators

When power and precision matter most, Hydraulic Mining Shovels handle the toughest jobs. ThoroughTec’s Cat Hydraulic Mining Shovel Simulators help operators develop the specialized skills they need to harness the potential of these powerful machines and to optimize truck payloads under the harshest operating conditions.

Large Dozer Simulators

Dozers support mining operations around the world, operating across the broadest range of applications and environments. Consequently, dozer operators need to be ready to handle any job that comes their way — always performing to the full potential of their equipment. ThoroughTec’s Cat Large Dozer Simulators prepare them to meet these challenges safely and efficiently.

Electric Rope Shovel Simulators

Electric Rope Shovels are capable of delivering exceptional productivity at the lowest cost. This ability to impact mine profitability makes it essential that operators are well-trained in the optimal use of these machines. There is no better way to lay this foundation of skills and develop efficient operating technique than with a ThoroughTec Cat Electric Rope Shovel Simulator.

Rotary Drill Rig simulators

As the first stage of most mining processes, successful drilling sets your operation on course for productive and profitable mining. ThoroughTec’s Cat Rotary Drill Rig Simulators teach operators how to master their complex rigs, reducing cost per meter drilled and producing better-shot material for more efficient downstream operations.

Motor Grader Simulators

Motor Graders are highly versatile pieces of equipment that play a vital role in supporting safe and efficient production operations. Getting the most out of these demanding machines requires intimate, almost instinctual knowledge of their capabilities. ThoroughTec’s Cat Motor Grader Simulators allow operators to hone the unique skills and techniques needed to keep haul roads and loading areas in optimal condition at all times.

Large Wheel Loader Simulators

When loading operations demand flexibility and mobility, large wheel loaders answer the call. However, these virtues create a dynamic, high-energy operating environment where situational awareness and safe operating practices become crucial. ThoroughTec’s Cat Large Wheel Loader Simulators are one of the best — and safest — ways to build experience and develop the skill and confidence needed for safe and efficient operations.

Dragline Simulators

Delivering unparalleled reliability and cost effectiveness in overburden removal operations, these mega-machines are designed for productivity above all else. Consequently, dragline operators require a deft touch and extensive practical experience to deliver consistent results with their equipment. ThoroughTec’s Cat Dragline Simulators allow your operators to rapidly gain experience without removing such critical operating equipment from production.

Underground Loader Simulators

Operating underground load-haul-dump (LHD) machines safely and efficiently in the hazardous world of underground mining demands that operators possess a high degree of knowledge, skill and hard-won experience. ThoroughTec’s range of Cat Underground Loader Simulators covers the entire spectrum of Cat equipment and allows operators to hone their skills in a safe and controlled environment where they can develop the most efficient techniques to lower cost per ton.

Underground Truck Simulators

The productivity and safety records of an underground mine are closely linked to the skill and proficiency levels of its truck operators. ThoroughTec underground truck simulators are designed to provide training to new operators and refresh the skills of seasoned operators without removing productive machines from the operations cycle.

Cat Simulators

Cat Simulators provide hands-on learning in a safe and economical way to enhance traditional operator training programs. Each training exercise measures and records the operator’s simulation sessions for review.
