New to the ITI VR Crane Simulation Library - Polar Crane

Written by Industrial Training International | Aug 24, 2021 2:51:08 PM

We are delighted to debut the newest addition to the ITI VR Crane Simulator, the Polar Crane: 175 Ton Capacity - Built to Handle Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) Components. Authentically modeled in partnership with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), the ITI VR Polar Crane provides end users with an immersive and true to life experience of operating a Reactor Servicing Crane.

The ITI VR Polar Crane operates on a circular track or runway, within containment/reactor facilities. Polar cranes' primary function is removal and replacement of reactor components. They are also utilized during the refueling and outage process.

Due to the highly specialized environment and use cases, training for polar crane operators presents a number of challenges, all of which we have successfully addressed by way of our groundbreaking virtual reality simulator.

ITI VR and Serious Labs have partnered to deliver the most robust Crane Simulation Library in the world, featuring over 1,000 scenarios across 9 crane models to a community of subscribers that benefit with each new crane model, scenario, and feature released. The ITI VR Crane Simulation Library is the most comprehensive and widely used VR crane training simulator in the world. Developed in partnership with global crane leaders like Bechtel, Mammoet, and in the case of Polar Crane, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
