Save costs with simulation tools
This calculation is based on a 28-ton hydraulic excavator.
| Fuel consumption/hour (litres) |
20 |
| Fuel cost/liter (€) | 1,20 |
| Hour/day, machine in use | 6 |
| Days/month, machine in use | 15 |
| Months/year, machine in use | 8 |
| Total fuel consumption (€) | 17 280 |
| Average maintenance & service costs (€) | 2 000 |
| Total operating cost per year (€) | 19 280 |
30% of practical training time in “real” machine can be replaced by simulator training.
| Savings per year (30% of 19 280) | €5 784 |
Make your own cost saving calculation:
This calculation does not take into account any reduction in the number of machines and thereby reduced depreciation costs.
"We see great advantages with simulator systems from the aspects of safety, environment and economy."

Did you know that:
- Accidents with excavators stand for almost half of all accidents on construction sites, even though excavators make up only 1/3 of the total machinery.
- The effect of a simulator on the climate and environment is 3% of that of a ‘real’ excavator machine.
- Simulator based education tools allow for the trainer to spend more time with each student while other students can train independently.
- TENSTAR DIGGER comes with original driver chairs and OEM operator controls from real hydraulic excavators.
- The climate effect during a machine operator’s education can be decreased with 30% if using simulation based training.
- TENSTAR DIGGER has exercises in increasing difficulty; from basic oiling and lubrication of the machine to intensive safety training.
