Excavator Simulator VR. Operator training without risk — skills you take onto the construction site
A realistic excavator cab in virtual reality: controls, digging, loading and safety. Train without fuel, without machine wear and without the risk of damage.
Four modules that make the difference
From the first joystick movement to safe work in an excavation — all in a safe VR environment.
Operating and controlling the excavator
- Learning to work with joysticks — boom, arm, bucket and upper-structure rotation.
- Coordination of movements and a smoothness you cannot practise from a manual.
- The first hours in the cab without fuel and without machine wear.
Digging and shaping an excavation
- Making excavations to a set profile and depth.
- Shaping slopes and working to the works plan.
- Building the habits of precise digging.
Loading and working with attachments
- Loading spoil onto a truck and depositing it on a stockpile.
- Working with attachments and lifting-capacity control.
- Repeatability without tying up a real machine and crew.
Safety and machine checks
- Pre-start check and assessment of machine stability.
- Work zone and surroundings — eliminating collisions and risky situations.
- Safety procedures practised where a mistake costs nothing.
📋 In short — Excavator Simulator VR
A VR application for training excavator operators — a realistic cab in which the trainee learns controls, digging, loading and safety procedures. Ideal for operator onboarding without machine wear, fuel or the risk of damage.
- Processes: pre-start check, controls, digging, shaping an excavation, loading, working with attachments, safety.
- Ranking system: time, precision, collisions and errors — the trainee sees the score, the instructor sees group reports.
- Customisation: we adapt the site scenarios, soil type and machine type to your company or curriculum.
- For: construction companies, mines, operator training centres, vocational and technical schools.
- Hardware: Meta Quest 3/3S — standalone, no cables, no workstation.

Controls and coordination
- Working with joysticks — boom, arm, bucket and upper-structure rotation in one movement.
- Smoothness and precision built from the first minute in the cab.
- No stress and no costs — a mistake in VR is a lesson, not a damaged machine.
Digging and shaping an excavation
- Making excavations to a set profile, depth and slope angle.
- Working to the plan of the earthworks.
- Repeating the task until the right habit is formed.
Loading and attachments
- Loading spoil onto a truck and depositing it on a stockpile.
- Lifting-capacity control and safe work with attachments.
- Logistics training without tying up the machine and crew.
Safety and machine checks
- Pre-start check and assessment of the surroundings before starting work.
- Spotting hazards independently in the machine’s work zone.
- A safety habit that the operator takes onto a real site.

Turnkey deployment. You open the box, we have done the rest
From construction and safety, through HR and training, to the management board — everyone sees specific, measurable benefits.
- ROI in months — less damage, faster onboarding, fuel savings.
- Standardisation — uniform procedures and competence exams.
- Data — progress reports, KPIs and operator comparisons.
- Costs — no more tying up a machine for training.
- Maximum safety — we eliminate the risk of accidents and costly equipment damage.
Traditional training takes a machine out of work and ties up an experienced operator. VR training takes place alongside while the site works at full capacity.
Beginners’ mistakes cause damage and downtime. In VR a trainee can get it wrong a thousand times — without any impact on the budget.
Check an operator’s readiness for real tasks before they go on site. Less risk, more control over quality.
Practising risky behaviour and incidents in a 100% safe environment.
A unified onboarding programme. Automatic progress reports and certification.
Optional connections with LMS/HR. Export of data and metrics.
From the manager’s decision to the last bucket movement in VR
The simulator supports business, education and practical training — from onboarding and safety to preparation for real work and vocational exams.
For business leaders
Reduce fuel costs and eliminate the risk of machine damage before the operator goes on site. Train without stopping the works.
For HR and onboarding
Speed up operator onboarding with training you can launch in a few minutes. Reports show who is ready.
For operators
Practise controls, digging and loading in an environment where a mistake costs nothing. Practice that builds reflexes.
For health and safety
Verify the operator’s alertness in scenarios that require assessing the surroundings, stability and procedures.

Scalable subscriptions for business and lifetime licences for education. No hidden costs.

Excavator Simulator VR — operator training without a machine on site
The excavator simulator in VR lets trainees practise controlling the arm, bucket and undercarriage and excavation safety procedures before sitting in a real cab. It does not replace the licensing exam, but it reduces the number of hours on the machine and eliminates beginners’ most costly mistakes.
Machine simulator deployments
The excavator simulator uses the same physics and methodology as our overhead crane, drilling rig and industrial hall simulators.
Overhead Crane VR Training
Challenge: The operator has to master load handling before touching the real machine.
Solution: A simulator with difficulty levels and an assessment of every manoeuvre.
Result: Deployment results are available on request — the data is held by the client.
JSW — VR training for mining
Challenge: Prepare employees for real underground working conditions without going down the shaft and without risk.
Solution: VR training reproducing the conditions of the mine working, machines and safety procedures; delivered in stages in 2024–2025 (3D models, application).
Result: Deployment results are available on request — the data is held by the client.
Krakodlew S.A. — hall and warehouse in VR
Challenge: Training in operating the finished goods warehouse and casting production without shutting equipment down.
Solution: The Krakodlew hall reproduced: tool control and production sequences in VR/AR.
Result: Deployment results are available on request — the data is held by the client.
