Price for the system is USD $5,900 for an annual software license.

The subscription is for one concurrent license (with unlimited number of users). It includes access to multiple different crane models.

The software can be downloaded to any Windows-based PC. A high-performance computer is required. Most customers choose to purchase the Intro Kit which includes all necessary hardware with the software preloaded and ready to start.t training.

It's BOTH a VR simulator and a traditional desktop simulator.

The Cloud works with a VR headset or with a standard computer monitor. Users can also connect it to a standard high-definition television (HDTV) if desired.

In VR mode, users experience an incredible 360-degree field-of-view and a higher degree of realism. They'll also have access to certain features that are unique to VR.

Our software designers built the system to work seamlessly with the Meta family of VR headsets, though the system can work with other PC-based VR technologies as well.

For those unfamiliar or sensitive to VR environments — the system runs great with a typical computer display.

You'll need a high-performance computer to effectively run the Cloud simulator.

This is especially true if you intend to use the system in VR mode. GlobalSim recommends a computer with the following specifications:

CPU: 12th Generation Intel Core i7 - 12700k (or comparable)

GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070 (or comparable)

RAM: 2x 16 GB DDR4 (or comparable)

SSD: 1x 500 GB (or comparable)

A gamepad is also a minimum requirement to run the system. These can be purchased online for less than USD $20.

We highly recommend a VR Headset, as the experience and features available within VR-mode greatly enhance the training experience with the Cloud simulator.

GlobalSim offers an Intro Kit, which includes all the components you'll need to run the Cloud system.

Different variations of the Intro Kit are available depending upon the crane models you select. All Intro Kit includes the following:

• High-Performance PC
• HD Display (32-inch)
• VR Headset (Meta Quest 3)
• Thrustmaster Joysticks with Table Mount
• Gamepad Controller
• Keyboard & Mouse
• Cords and connectivity peripherals

The software is preloaded and tested before shipment so it will be ready to run straight out-of-the-box.

The Cloud is a desktop system, designed to provide initial training for novices and aspiring crane operators. It can help students become familiar with crane operations and can even help prepare them for a certification exam.

We believe the Cloud system is the best desktop simulator available on the market. For an entry-level simulator, it's an incredible value and provides a terrific experience — particularly when used with a VR headset.

The Cloud is, however, an entry-level simulator. It's difficult to compare it to larger, fully immersive simulators with hyper-realistic motion systems.

The software includes multiple crane models (10 are currently available with more to be added in the future). It's a bundled solution, we offer a Port Crane bundle (featuring port cranes and equipment). A bundled version with Industrial Cranes (Overhead Cranes) is available. A construction crane bundle is also available.

If you're looking for a specific customized crane model, we recommend our larger and more immersive systems. GlobalSim's Essential, Full Mission, and Advanced simulators offer highly customized crane models. Contact us for more details.

Each crane model has a number of core lessons designed to introduce the operator to the equipment, practice core functions, and prepare for certification. The GlobalSim Scenario Editor allows users to create an unlimited number of scenarios at their own discretion.

Yes. Most users will find the Scenario Editor offers incredible flexibility to create unique lessons and different environments.

However, some organizations desire very specific customizations, which may include unique crane models, specific buildings and loads, customized processes, etc.

GlobalSim does offer these services. Costs will vary depending upon the scope. You'll need to reach out to our sales department for more details and information.

The Cloud is our new entry-level system. It's highly versatile and designed (in most cases) to be used at a desktop or in a classroom setting. While not as immersive as our larger simulators, the graphics and realism are impressive and offer incredible training value.

GlobalSim has been building crane simulators since 1993. We are known for producing premium-level simulators for large training centers. We've produced hundreds of simulators, which can be found on six continents — we even built the largest crane simulator in the world, a large dome system over 10 meters (34 ft.) high.
