Mobile Crane Simulator

It is called Mobile Crane to any set formed by a carrier vehicle, on wheels or on tracks, equipped with own propulsion and steering systems on whose chassis a pen-type lifting device is attached.

The self-propelled mobile cranes are designed to lift and distribute in the space suspended loads of a hook or any other accessory of apprehension.

These types of cranes are equipped with own means of propulsion and conduction or that form part of a set with said means that enable their displacement by public roads or terrain.

It has stabilizers that avoid the overturns. The Self-propelled Mobile Crane operates through a hydraulically deployed telescopic boom and a cable and winch system powered by a motor for the lifting movement of loads.

Why use the Mobile Crane Simulator of LSyM for learning?

Through the Telehandler Simulator developed by the LSyM group the operators will obtain the necessary expertise and knowledge to avoid or know how to act in situations of risk such as:

• Overturns or collisions the machine with others objects or people
• Fall of the loads on people, machines or objects
• Collisions with objects
• Various entanglements between auxiliary elements (hook, slings, etc.) or by the load itself

Equipment

• Cabin located on platform with 2 to 6 degrees of freedom.
• Real machine controls and operation console.
• Instructor's console with full control over the simulation.
• Digital sound effects from real environment.
• Projection system with 3 high resolution screens.

Visualization system

• High-definition images, generated in real time
• 3D graphics with great detail for achieve a behavior and a reliable visualization of the simulated machine and its environment
• Picture textures from a real facility
• Implementation of shaders to provide greater visual realism to objects
• LMI / SLI Function Indicator
• Display to show information regarding the positions and parameters of the crane

Special conditions

Weather events: wind, rain, fog, snow, etc., Realistic collisions response that depends of the severity of collisions and Instructor's console with full control over the simulation.

Instructional design

• Theoretical module.
• Exercise Manual.
• Database to store the information of the evolution of the operators.
• Programmed learning monitoring system for each student.
• Summaries, reports, etc.
• Guided practices on the screen and through acoustic messages.
• Record of non-permitted operations and dangerous operations.

Reports at the instructor's console

• Date of session.
• Starting and ending time.
• Duration of exercises.
• Finished exercises.
• Velocity log.
• Collision log.
• Dangerous maneuvers log.
