• 100 degree field of view
• 360 degree positional tracking

OEM Controls

• Control panel accurately recreates the layout, feel, and labeling of the real-world aerial work platforms
• Unit controller is modular, allowing for ease of servicing as well and customization
• Handholds provide safety, comfort and stability to the operator

Universal Motion Base (750lb capacity, 350lb operator limit)

• Motion base platform designed around a universal chassis containing all primary electronics and 4 high speed electric actuators
• Small Footprint (4’ by 8’ including tracking volume), convenient size for any training environment
• Handholds provide safety, comfort and stability to the operator

Learning Objectives

• Navigating tight corners - Prevents equipment damage and personnel injury due to common basket collisions
• Directional arrows - AWP controls are relative to the chassis, not the basket – new operators often overlook directional arrows to orientate the controls, causing movement in undesired directions
• Complex basket positioning - The simulator includes scenarios otherwise impractical for safe hands-on training, including overhead hazards, powerlines, and steep inclines
• Hazardous placement - The simulator forces the trainee to position the AWP according to best practices, avoiding common shortcuts and reducing the risk of real-world tip-over incidents

The AWP VR Simulator Addresses Common Safety Hazards

• Ensures trainees complete scenarios through the application of best practices, reducing the possibility of ejection or tip-over. Goals are achieved by reaching over hazardous slopes, lowering the boom before driving to a new location, and navigating rough terrain correctly and from an appropriate angle.
• Places the trainee in a situation where they do not know their current orientation and must use arrow guides to ensure the controls will move them in the desired direction. This scenario replicates a hazardous situation that can happen after hours of work and distraction in the field.
• Navigating in areas where the trainee must be aware of real-world hazards, especially power lines and unsafe ground conditions.
• Understanding complex navigation scenarios where the length of the AWP’s boom can result in collisions, entrapment, or pinch hazards.
