Cleveland Cliffs has successfully implemented ITI VR Crane Sim technology at not one, not two, but a sizeable six of their North American locations. Taking advantage of unique, OEM hardware that is built to spec, Cleveland Cliffs elected to go with the VR crane sim model which features a motion-base platform, as well as the more portable desktop model.

Prior to utilizing ITI Simulations, Cleveland Cliffs incurred substantial expenses pertaining to having to withdraw cranes from service or incur rental costs in order to facilitate training and evaluations. Through the incorporation of the VR crane simulator, Cleveland Cliffs anticipates saving both time and money while ensure the safety of their workforce through immersive training and assessment scenarios (1,000+!). This enhancement to Cleveland Cliffs' already meticulous internal training structure and program, enables them to further document due diligence and operator performance, further strengthening safety protocols across their North America sites.
