Virtual Training Solution for Digger Derrick Operations

The Intellia Digger Derrick Simulation Curriculum helps utilities organizations reduce training and operational risk by preparing operators for safe, accurate lifting operations before crews step onto live jobsites. A progressive learning path develops sound judgment, load handling, and precise drilling skills through repeatable augering, lifting, and pole-setting scenarios, while supporting preparation for the CCO crane certification exam.

Authentic Machine Behavior

Our simulation incorporates award-winning engineering-grade machine and material behavior for the most transferable operator skills outside real equipment.

 

When choosing simulation training for digger derricks, look for features that replicate real-world operation:

  • Accurate Load Handling Dynamics: Loads respond naturally to operator inputs, reinforcing proper speed control, positioning, and coordination during lifting operations.
  • Authentic Augering Workflow and Techniques: The simulator reflects accurate drilling workflow, reinforcing correct techniques and sequencing required for safe, accurate pole-setting operations.
  • Realistic Operational Consequences: Unsafe operation or improper setup can lead to instability or tipping, reinforcing the importance of sound judgment and safe operating practices.

 

Why Does It Need to Be Engineering-Grade?

Avoid creating bad habits or unsafe shortcuts that could carry over to real-world operations. High-quality simulation training ensures trainees learn correct techniques from day one. When the simulator behaves like the real machine, trainees build confidence and skills that transfer directly to the jobsite, reduce risk, save time, and reinforce safe, effective practices from the start.
