Increase safety. Reduce costs. Drive innovation.

Why traditional crane training is slowing down your business.

High organizational and financial effort for crane training due to equipment rental, travel time, and operational downtime.

Limited training dates and disruptions to ongoing operations.

Time pressure at the crane leads to a higher risk of errors and a flatter learning curve.

Operating errors can cause costly damage and safety risks.

Traditional training offers hardly any opportunities to realistically practice extreme situations.

It complements our trainer and operator training perfectly. We particularly appreciate the outstanding support, the easy handling of the VR technology, as well as the cost-effective pricing model and continuous innovation."

Matthias Müller

Head of Training @ AST Arbeitssicherheit & Technik

"The VR KRANTRAINER® makes the difference! I use the application in every crane operator training to introduce beginners to crane technology and to offer experienced crane operators some variety. From selecting the appropriate lifting gear to the exam environment, where two crane movements are needed simultaneously – the VR KRANTRAINER® offers great possibilities! The overall package is rounded off by excellent service, providing fast and competent assistance."

Marc Böhme

Key Account Manager @ SpanSet GmbH & Co. KG

"My first experience with virtual crane operator training instantly impressed me. The environment and crane are highly realistic, the controls are practical, and the VR headset and software are intuitively usable. The decision to purchase was made quickly. The VR KRANTRAINER® excites both trainers and training participants. Additionally, it offers beginners a safe entry and helps professionals improve their skills – a clear added value and an essential part of our crane operator training!"

Michael Rink

CEO @ Technische Überwachung Rink

"The Immersive Realities Center is an interdisciplinary ecosystem based at the Department of Computer Science at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Annually, we welcome around 1,500 visitors who are interested in immersive technologies such as Augmented and Virtual Reality. The VR KRANTRAINER® has quickly become a key component of our demos and clearly demonstrates the potential of training in Virtual Reality. The combination of hardware and software provides a compelling user experience."

Marco Schäfer

TM @ Immersive Realities Center

"A safe, calm learning environment, hands-on training, safety instructions, and the integration of new technologies — with these characteristics, theVR KRANTRAINER® is an excellent addition to our existing crane operator training program. External influences such as noise or potential hazards are eliminated, allowing participants to fully concentrate on what truly matters: operating a crane safely. A solid foundation of basic knowledge is essential for this. The crane control system, taken directly from real-world industrial use, provides a realistic experience even for beginners through its design and tactile feel. From simple crane movements to simulated examinations, everything can be learned, practiced, and deepened in our training rooms, far away from the production floor."
