WORLDS FIRST
EFFECTIVE and AFFORDABLE
OFF-HIGHWAY TRUCK
PORTABLE TRAINING SIMULATOR

WATERFORD, WI:  VISTA Training, Inc. announces availability of yet another PC-based heavy equipment simulator. The new Off-Highway Truck Personal Simulator joins the growing line of cost effective, portable, PC-based, heavy equipment simulators that enable equipment operator training without high cost equipment downtime and possible damage. Mining and Aggregate industry haul truck tires, a scare resource, and fuel are also spared.

Developed in collaboration with leading OEM and training professionals, the new Off-Highway Truck Personal Simulator puts you at the controls of a modern, 85-100 ton heavy hauler, in English or French (Spanish coming soon). The virtual site is modeled after a real quarry.

A total of six simulation lessons of increasing difficulty make this a much better training tool than a video game. The first one, "Controls Familiarization", introduces the operator controls. The final one, "Complete Haul Cycle", combines loading, driving, and dumping. All data is tracked to allow comparison to benchmarks.

The cost of a commercial software license is just US$6,000. Two kinds of simulator controls are available: 1) basic Logitech steering wheel and shifter (plus separate retarder) or 2) a complete, realistic replica of the actual haul truck controls. Either option connects to a standard USB port on most modern personal computers.

Says Rick Longstaff, President of VISTA Training:
VISTA Training is proud to have played a part in the development of yet another new Simlog simulator. The Off-Highway Truck Personal Simulator represents a major advance in Haul Truck operator training by finally providing a completely safe and truly cost-effective "virtual" hands-on training experience. Now you can save your tires, reduce the number of hours equipment is removed from production, and stop paying for equipment breakage due to operator inexperience.

As a producer and distributor of training products for heavy equipment, VISTA Training helps customers implement effective equipment operator training programs. With Simlog's help, VISTA Training is now adding easy-to-use, graphical simulation to our product offering to help close the "see-hear-experience" operator training loop!

Just imagine: simulated haul truck training on a PC for less than $7,000! Call 1-800-942-2886 x305 or visit http://www.vista-training.com
