New training pack features beginner-friendly instruction to advanced exercises.

CM Labs Simulations Intellia Mini Excavator Simulator Training Pack is a dedicated simulation training solution for mini excavator operator training from beginner to advanced.

“We’re seeing a growing preference for smaller equipment, as well as more and more mini excavators working near utility lines,” said Trin Ruiz, SPM at CM Labs, in a statement. “We wanted to develop a training solution that addresses these needs specifically, so that trainers and operators have the solution that best helps them get the job done.”

The new training pack features beginner-friendly instruction as well as advanced exercises, according to the company. “Because mini excavators are often the first piece of equipment novices learn to operate, we wanted to design a curriculum that was beginner-friendly,” said Ruiz.

Operators can use the training pack to practice walkaround inspections and gain familiarity with the mini excavator’s controls, while learning how to handle the mini excavator’s tipping risks.

“We also include teachable moments in exercises,” added Ruiz. “These reminders help catch mistakes before they become habits among beginners, and make it easier for trainers to bring multiple operators to proficiency at the same time.”
