CAT simulators will showcase a range of operator training systems at Plantworx 2025, including a virtual reality (VR) paving simulator, a compact track loader (CTL) tabletop unit, and a new version of the excavator simulator, which will be on display for the first time at the show.
The VR paving simulator is designed to equip new and experienced operators with foundational asphalt paving and compaction skills. Using a VR headset, aspiring operators can carry out walkaround inspections, familiarise themselves with the controls, pave the highway (curved paths, manholes and material feed) and carry out asphalt compaction using proven techniques. The simulator includes a headset, controllers, charger, paving software, and device management tools, and an optional laptop is also available. It’s compact and portable – ideal for training centres or companies working across multiple sites. Also on show is the SimLite compact track loader (CTL) simulator that lets operators carry out a number of tasks including walkaround and machine manoeuvring, loading and carrying (with a bucket or pallet forks), finishing grading (with a bucket or box blade and concrete pad removal using a jackhammer attachment.
