Modular, mobile hi-tech classroom

Manitowoc’s new Mobile Training & Technology Center offers a fully equipped on-site training classroom, packaged in a transportable module, enabling North American dealers to advance workforce development by streamlining technician upskilling. The Mobile Training & Technology Center travels on a 53ft step-deck trailer and is deployed on-site via hydraulic jacks. It’s a spacious facility, measuring 43ft x 25ft, and can be set up in just four hours. The Wi-Fi-enabled Training Center is packed with multimedia, including two TVs and a SMART Interactive Board. Manitowoc provides the instructors to host training sessions in the center, with each event tailored to specific needs. The training courses are entry-level sessions targeted at apprentice technicians or shop-only operatives. Because the center can be housed on-site at dealer locations, it enables technicians to experience Manitowoc training early in their career without the costs of traveling. At the dealer’s location, technicians also benefit from seeing live work around them in a shop environment. And if a specific crane is the focus during the training, there’s a chance to see that model at the dealer’s facility. The Mobile Training & Technology Center will cover all of North America and is an economic investment for any dealer with six students or more seeking training. While the center caters to entry-level training for technicians, Manitowoc also offers a full suite of higher-level courses at its purpose-built classrooms in North America in Shady Grove, PA., and Denver, CO.
