In cooperation with TYA, the Vocational Training and Working Environment Council, Oryx has developed the Forestry crane simulator. The operator learns how to maneuver a forestry crane.

There are many reasons why you should use a simulator for operator training, read more about them here. To get an even more cost-effective solution, the simulator can be combined with the Truck mounted crane simulator. 

The training program is developed in cooperation with TYA and Swedish schools. The exercises included in the training program is the very same that Swedish schools are using. In a fun a developing manner, the operators learn how to
maneuver the forestry crane and the different functions.

Training package
- Timber handling. Maneuver timber through a gate course. 
  Three levels: Standard, hard and competition.
- Game cube. Placing different shaped objects in a box.
- House building. 
- Loading timber


Administration and evaluation 
The simulation software also includes a user manager. In the user manager new operators can be added with a personal username and password. 
When the operator is training, certain data is collected for evaluation. The instructor can follow the operator's progress and evaluate the performance based on key factors presented by the software, for example:

- Simultaneous used functions 
- Collisions (goods, crane)
- Mistakes 

To create a realistic field of view, the simulation is projected on a large screen. The operator maneuvers the crane using a real-life control system from Olsberg. The joysticks are mounted to the included table stands which are adjustable in height. You can use almost any kind of table and chair, which makes the setup very flexible.
When combined with the truck mounted crane simulator, you are using the same computer, screen, projector and speaker system.

The simulator is also highly mobile, since almost all components fit into the included wheeled case.
Following items are included:

- Back projected screen, 2440 x 1830mm, including floor stand
- High definition projector
- Simulation computer
- Simulation software with commercial license
- Keyboard and mouse
- Speaker system
- Forestry joysticks and table stands.
