Virtual Training Solution for Backhoe Operators

The Intellia Backhoe Simulator Training Pack highlights the versatility of this “jack of all trades” piece of heavy equipment, with exercises designed to teach operators the full potential of the machine.

It’s the only solution on the market that is capable of simulating a backhoe’s backlash and instability.

Thanks to this capability, the training pack is ideal for teaching novices critical transferable skills, such as how to leverage backhoe flexibility, and control its center of gravity for maximum efficiency on the jobsite.

Training Pack Features

Unique Backhoe Features

The Intellia Backhoe Simulator Training Pack mimics real-life boom deflection and behavior. The motion platform also gives that true backhoe recoil, teaching trainees how to conduct careful and methodical operations.

The training pack also simulates changes in stability and traction as tires are placed under stress by rapid movements or heavy loads—and the simulated backhoe can even tip as a result of instability. This gives trainees the opportunity to learn from their mistakes, without the risk of damaging equipment or injuring themselves.

Learning Outcomes

The training pack features the most complete collection of progressive learning exercises on the market. Ranging from beginner to advanced, exercises are designed to safely build trainee skill and confidence. The curriculum includes:

• Walkaround inspection
• Understanding the controls and vehicle positioning
• Loading and unloading from trailer
• Bucket positioning
• Earthmoving and transport
• Stockpile management
• Excavation and grading
• Truck loading
• Using the quick coupler

Performance Metrics

Only with CM Labs metrics will instructors gain valuable objective insight into operator performance and abilities, such as:

• Movement efficiency and accuracy
• Collisions and shock loads
• Fuel consumption, cycle time
• Volume of material excavated per bucket load

Take your training to the next level with Intellia Instructor. Designed to empower organizations to scale their training, Intellia Instructor includes sophisticated report generation, customizable learning paths, live faults and weather challenges, and streamlined administrative functions. Uncoupled and untethered from a teaching station, instructors can support multiple trainees in real time via tablet while closely monitoring each individual’s performance.
