Advanced Crane Training Simulator Courses for Operators

ITI's Virtual Reality Crane Simulator is developed through partnerships with original equipment manufacturers to ensure an experience on par with operating the exact machinery each simulation was designed to replicate. Our varied scenarios and virtual crane simulation courses offer the range of challenges needed to turn beginners into expert crane operators.

9 Unique Crane Types

Built to OEM specs, including a Tadano RT, Link-Belt Lattice Boom Crawler, and more...

1,000+ Scenarios

Focus on specific skills, or work your way through one of the pre-made comprehensive lesson plans.

Safe Practice

Expose operators to situations too difficult to replicate on an actual crane such as variable weather.

2 Hardware Options

Portable Desktop and immersive Motion-Base platforms are available to meet your team's needs.

Supported Crane Types

ITI's Crane Simulator features the following crane types which are built to look, feel, and function exactly like the real crane. ITI can make this promise because we worked with the OEMs and received their sign-off on the crane simulation's ability to match how their equipment runs.

The ITI Design & Development Studio continuously advances our virtual crane and equipment simulation library with new learning scenarios, courses, and functionality; all made available to subscribers at no additional cost.

Lattice Boom Crawler - Link-Belt 218 HSL

Link-Belt's long history of quality and power is captured in the 218 HSL. This machine provides an optimal starting point for lattice boom crane operator training in the ITI VR Simulator. The 110-ton crawler model capable of 154 feet of main boom length is a versatile model for operator screening, training and assessment. The Link-Belt team and ITI VR made the 218 available for the community in the Spring of 2017 with over 10 hours of training and assessment scenarios and joystick configurations set to mirror a field crane.

Link-Belt 218 HSL Specs

Max. Lifting Capacity: 110 tons
Boom Lengths: 40’- 230’
Fixed Jib Lengths: 30’ - 75’
Tip Height (Fixed Jib): 279’
Working Weight: 192,735 lb

Overhead Crane Simulator

Cab Operated | Belly-Box Operated

Bridge Cranes are widely used overhead crane models across many industries, typically in high production environments that pose challenges to training including availability of the crane and risk of unskilled personnel in the production area. The ITI VR Overhead Crane Simulator utilizes cab-operated as well as remotely operated controls with a pendant or belly-box.

Carry Deck - Broderson IC-80

Hands-on carry deck operator training has never occurred outside of the actual machine as simulation has never been available for this equipment. The VR Carry Deck Operator Simulator is a virtual replica of a Broderson IC-80 Carry Deck now making training and assessment of carry deck operators on-demand, self-paced and in an engaging training environment.

Broderson IC-80 Specs

Capacity on Outriggers: 18,000 lb
Pick & Carry Capacity: 11,700 lb
Height: 7’ 3”
Width: 6’ 6”
Max. Tip Height: 46’
Max. Horizontal Reach: 40’

Boom Truck - LoadKing Stinger 28-106

Boom trucks offer a great deal of mobility and are often regarded as lower risk machines given the smaller load capacities. But on the contrary, boom truck operations account for a high volume of incidents due to their large availability, under-trained and under-qualified operators and unique operational risks like the blind spots a boom truck cab creates. In the VR Boom Truck Operator Simulator, training and assessment occurs in an authentic way, right from the cab of 28 ton, LoadKing Stinger 28-106.

LoadKing Stinger 28-106 Specs

Max. Capacity: 28 tons
Main Boom Length: 106’
Max. Tip Height w/Ext: 162’
Max. Boom Length: 153’
Max. Counterweight: None
Overall Length: 32’ 3

Polar Crane - 175 Ton

The ITI VR Polar Crane, sometimes referred to as Reactor Servicing Cranes, operate on a circular track or runway, within containment/reactor facilities. Polar cranes' primary function is removal and replacement of reactor components, and are also utilized during the refueling and outage process.

Due to the highly specialized environment and use cases, training for polar crane operators presents a number of challenges.

Polar Crane Specs

Capacity: 385,000 lbs

Learn More About the Polar Crane Simulator

“I oversee 30-50 operators at any given time depending on how many jobs we have going. All I have to say is that all my operators need to get on this simulator. If they can pass the modules I tried, I have no doubt in my mind that they can do the job. I have been doing this a long time, and the VR Simulator is the most realistic simulator I have ever seen.”
