From crane start-up and shutdown to container handling on deck, in the hold, and during hatch cover operations, the LiSIM ROS mirrors the workflow of STS operations. This helps operators build genuine muscle memory and operational familiarity, creating a seamless transition from simulator to crane. Different vessels and terminal scenarios are included, delivering an authentic experience.
Comprehensive, sustainable, training environment
Beyond initial training, LiSIM ROS supports a continuous pipeline of skilled operators, from recruitment through retention. Potential operators can be identified and upskilled quickly in a safe, cost-effective environment. Once trained, operators can refine their skills, practice various load handling scenarios, and take structured refresher courses over time. By fostering confidence and control, the simulator also supports wellbeing and long-term retention.
With almost no emissions and no wear on operational equipment, the LiSIM ROS delivers sustainable training that provides rapid return on investment and long-term savings. Importantly, sessions can be carried out at any time without taking cranes out of service, providing safe, standardised and effective operator development. Training costs per driver are significantly reduced compared with conventional approaches, while operating costs are a tiny fraction of live crane training.
Instructor-led, measurable results
The instructor station features dual screens, a 3D controller, and a drone-like 360° view that allows every movement to be observed in real time. The simulator’s practical exercises are designed to reflect real-world challenges, whilst scenarios can be customised and difficulty adjusted instantly, ensuring operators are trained under conditions that match their level and objectives.
With the LiSIM Driver Analysis, every move is recorded and quantified. This removes uncertainty and provides clear, measurable results that show how each operator is performing. Instructors can assess the effectiveness of the training programme, while also monitoring the skills, strengths, and progression of individual trainees. The result is targeted development, evidence-based evaluation, and complete confidence in operator readiness. With its ability to support both new operators developing foundational skills and experienced operators seeking to refine performance, the LiSIM ROS delivers a complete, scalable, and effective training solution.
Available now for terminals worldwide, the LiSIM ROS sets a new benchmark in crane operator training. Its combination of genuine Liebherr technology, realistic simulation, and continuous skills development ensures operators are trained efficiently, safely, and with long-term operational benefits for terminals of all sizes.
