CM Labs Launches Port Sector’s First Simulation Training Solution for Double Empty Container Handler

• CM Labs Simulations introduces the first simulation training solution for double empty container handlers, aimed at enhancing trainee skills in port operations.

• The Intellia Double Empty Container Handler Add-On Module offers realistic machine behaviors and control functions for effective training in loading and unloading containers.

• Designed with input from port operator trainers, this module uniquely simulates the tipping of equipment when cornering too fast and the uneven load distribution, mirroring real-world challenges.

• The training solution addresses the need for efficient and safe movement of empty containers, reducing the necessity for physical equipment use during training periods.

• Compatible with CM Labs’ Advantage, Master, and MasterCab port equipment training hardware, the module requires the Empty Container Handler Training Pack for operation.

• CM Labs will showcase this and other simulation-based solutions at TOC Europe 2024, highlighting their benefits for port terminal efficiency and investment returns.

Innovative solution rapidly upskills trainees in a safe, pressure-free learning environment

CM Labs Simulations, the leading vendor for simulation-based training in the construction, utilities, and ports industries, announced the launch of a new simulation training solution for double empty container handlers. Designed in collaboration with port operator trainers, the Intellia Double Empty Container Handler Add-On Module instructs operators on using double empty container handler control functions and techniques for loading and unloading containers in a real port setting.

“This add-on module incorporates realistic machine behaviors that are unlike anything else on the market today,” said Devon Van de Kletersteeg, CM Labs’ ports product manager. “It’s the only solution on the market that can tip when the simulated equipment corners too fast, and that truly reacts like the real thing when loads are distributed unevenly.”

Operators can find it challenging to handle the double empty container handler’s twin lifting capabilities. This training module also addresses a current issue for terminal operators today, as it is crucial to move empty containers as quickly and safely as possible.

“Without a virtual training solution, ports must dedicate more time on the actual equipment to training,” Van de Kletersteeg said. “This helps reduce wear and tear, and allows for a more flexible training schedule.”

The Double Empty Container Handler Add-On Module comes with equipment-grade controls and can be installed on the following CM Labs port equipment training hardware: Advantage, Master, and MasterCab. The Empty Container Handler Training Pack is required to run the Double Empty Container Handler Add-On Module.
