Rover Configuration

For our customers with many different training locations, we created the rover configuration. Rover cranes come in two models; the 48 foot truck trailer and the 40 foot truck trailer. Rover configurations give our customers the ability to take all the training capabilities of a full sized crane simulator to any remote location.

ACS G6 Rover Series 40 Foot Container Model

Graphical images are generated in response to user input at the crane controls on a large, high resolution display system. Images of the crane structure, lifting mechanism, pay-loads, cables, and obstacles provide intricate detail and depth cues. The motion system mounted to the crane chair simulates bumps and vibrations present under normal operating conditions, jolts due to collisions, and forces experienced during hoist, trolley, and gantry movements. A high-fidelity sound system provides realistic noises from the crane environment including engines, hydraulics, rail bumps, collisions, and other sounds normally encountered during crane operation.

Features included in the Rover Series include:

  • Universal cab 3-axis motion base
  • Surround sound instructor's station
  • Heating unit
  • Air conditioning unit
  • Full carpeting

Crane Software

The rover crane configuration can simulate a variety of port, construction, industrial, and maritime cranes. Each simulation system includes two crane training modules with the capacity to modify and vary the crane specifications such as height, capacity, and speed.

Although each crane module simulates only one crane type, the specifications can be modified to simulate various models of the same crane type. In addition, as your training requirements change, additional modules can be easily incorporated into the system. The portable crane configuration can use any of our 12 crane modules, or a custom crane module can be developed to suit your training needs.

All of the crane modules possess many of the same basic features. These include realistic crane controls, operating environment sounds, 3D graphic images, weather variations, realistic lifting mechanisms, cargo, and cables, custom cargo loads, and natural payload motion and swing.
