The new Excavator Simulator is currently in development, and while detailed materials are not yet available, visitors can see and experience it themselves at the Newark Showground from September 23rd to 25th.

 Alongside the excavator simulator, Cat® Simulators will present two of its latest training systems, developed with input from Caterpillar subject-matter experts and built using authentic Cat® controls.

 The VR Paving Simulator is designed to equip new and experienced operators with foundational asphalt paving and compaction skills. Using a VR headset, learners can carry out:

• Walkaround inspections
• Controls familiarisation
• Paving the highway (curved paths, manholes, mCaterial feed)  
• 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—a tabletop model built for portability and remote setups. Training exercises include:

• Walkaround and machine manoeuvring
• Load and carry (with a bucket or pallet forks)

• Finish grading (with a bucket or box blade)
• Concrete pad removal using a jackhammer attachment
• Open training mode for instructor-led, tailored learning

Both systems support multiple languages, include SimU Campus™ for tracking user progress, and SimScholars™ curriculum. This online turn-key curriculum includes lessons, instructor and learner guides, quizzes, tests and videos for use in a classroom or remote delivery. Full 24/7 technical support is provided.

Whether you're upskilling operators, expanding your training offering, or simply curious about the latest in simulation technology, the Cat® Simulators stand is not to be missed. Visit stand number PC-01/-02
