ROSHARON, Texas — With the arrival of a new custom-built PTC simulator, the Mammoet Training Center in The Netherlands has added a unique educational tool to its range of training courses.
The PTC simulator is a training device, purpose built to teach operators to handle Mammoet’s largest crane, the PTC 140/200 DS. The simulator is an exact replica of the crane’s operating system complete with operator cabin, HD screens for visualization, server rack, crane control cabinet and instructor station.
Mammoet’s new generation PTC cranes are highly sophisticated machines with a multitude of sensors, computers and indicators to monitor and control the behavior of the crane and lift. The cabin is like an airplane’s cockpit, and the crane operator has to rely heavily on the information he monitors on the various screens and onboard computers.
