Caterpillar Demonstration and Learning Centers Brand experiences and training for Cat® customers, dealers and our employees since 1971.
(92)

There are currently three Demonstration & Learning Centers located worldwide:

- Edwards, Illinois (USA)
- Malaga, Spain
- Tinaja Hills, Arizona (USA)

At the core of these centers are our highly skilled demonstrator instructors with a minimum 10 years of equipment operator experience in heavy construction, general construction, quarry/aggregates and/or mining industries. Using their knowledge and

/or skill, instructors provide a variety of services through the Demonstration & Learning Centers including:

DEMONSTRATION OF PRODUCT
Operation of heavy construction and/or mining equipment to demonstrate features and capabilities, communicate operating techniques, display effective application and safe practices. Demonstrations can be conducted at Training Centers, virtually or at off-site locations worldwide. PRODUCT AND APPLICATION TRAINING
Instructors provide hands-on and classroom training related to machine operation, application, job efficiency, and safety. Training sessions can take place, either at the Training Centers or on the customer's jobsite. EQUIPMENT TRAINING SOLUTIONS
Any machine is only as good as its operator. A skilled heavy equipment operator, with finely honed skills and a deep understanding of the job at hand, can make a great machine work even better—and help your business become more successful. Caterpillar Equipment Training Solutions (ETS) gives your operators the training and support they need to improve their skills. Our training programs include classroom and in-the-iron activities that will help your people operate Cat® equipment more productively and safely. Plus, they’ll learn how to reduce wear and tear, saving you money and extending machine life. PLEASE NOTE: Caterpillar heavy equipment operator training is developed for customers that have purchased Cat equipment (not individual operators).

✔️ Trenching and loading made easy with Cat 2D Grade and Payload.

During our recent Technology Days for Construction and Quarry event at Malaga, our visitors were able to get first-hand experience of a huge amount of technology in different applications.

In the Perfecting your Payload workshop one of the applications demonstrated was how to use 2D Grade on the 336 Excavator to dig a trench more efficiently. Then we switched immediately to Payload to make sure the truck is loaded accurately.

Our demonstrator instructors (DIs) help support and provide critical feedback on Cat simulator products which are designed and built in the Peoria area by Simformotion. The DI's help Simformotion test the physics of the virtual machines and build exercises to be as accurate as possible to the actual equipment. For this visit, Zach from the Edwards team was providing his feedback on the small dozer simulator that is currently in development.

In addition to the simulator feedback, our Edwards team also provides Simformotion with access to the actual machines for reference photos and videos, and even hands-on experience. While the development team was onsite for the dozer simulator review, they had some questions on the Joystick Steer feature. Zach was able to get them on one of our Next Gen Excavators to test and experience that feature firsthand. There aren't many places in the world that could provide that kind of experience and support!

Check out this 973 Track Loader and read the story below 👇

It arrived at our Malaga facility brand new, then after 1,000+ hours of operation with our Machine Testing and Endurance team it was transported to a local landfill site owned by one of our customers. It then spent 2,000+ hours operating at the landfill site, before returning to our facility.

The team tested the machine for a further 600 hours of operation after making some adjustments. It then returned to our customer site to finalize the endurance testing process.

Hit like and stay tuned, as we will be posting some more content about this machine and this great collaboration project between our team and one of our valued local customers.

Carter from Tinaja Hills remote operating the 982 during a General Line Demo 😎

The screen on top of the Cat Command Station provides him a birds-eye view of the field, while the screen on the bottom shows the 4 sides of his machine. He also carved that Cat logo into the dirt with a remote operated excavator from the very same seat!

This is a demo of the system, but it has some very important benefits for our customers. For example the station can be located in a command center onsite or many miles away. It can also be used for various machines including excavators, bulldozers and wheel loaders.

This system can also help reduce operator fatigue or remove the operator from potentially hazardous applications. It also reduces downtime by allowing the operator to switch between machines or jobsites in seconds.

Reach maximum production! 👷

The production analysis team (PAT) provides Caterpillar dealers and customers the ability to perform a professional and complete production study of specific machines on a customer's job site. The trucks can be taken to quarries and job sites to collect weight data and record cycle times to measure the amount of material moved. This valuable information is used to identify production and production gaps to help the customers bottom line and make sure they’re getting the most out of their Cat equipment.

All three of our facilities have their own PAT truck, so contact your local dealer to find out how to take advantage of this service.
