Simulation Training Comes To UK Construction Event

CM Labs Simulations will exhibit at Vertikal Days, September 9-10, 2026, at Newark Showground. At stand #MP58, the company will show training solutions for mobile and tower cranes and mobile elevating work platforms, covering operator training, assessment, and certification preparation while reducing the cost and risk of training on real equipment.

"With skilled operator shortages putting pressure on the construction industry, employers are challenged to bring new operators into the workforce while providing the practical experience needed to work safely and productively," said Lisa Barbieri, VP of Marketing and Strategic Partnerships at CM Labs. "Simulation gives us an opportunity to rethink how we prepare people for these critical jobs, which is what makes that moment so exciting for us. We're proud to bring that approach to Vertikal Days and to show the U.K. market what the future of operator training can look like."

Vertikal Days attendees can expect equipment operation assessment scenarios aligned with Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS) certification requirements. CM Labs will demonstrate its Intellia Workforce Training System, including a Rough Terrain Crane training simulation on an Advantage Simulator. Other available curriculum covers crawler crane, tower crane, boom truck/lorry loader, and bucket truck/vehicle-mounted access platform training.

The company will also show features in Intellia Instructor, including Action After Review, which lets trainers record and review sessions with timestamps on key events to track trainee progress.
