The construction industry is continually seeking ways to make job sites safer and more efficient. At CONEXPO 2026, Industrial Training International (ITI) is showcasing new tools that help workers build their skills in a safe, virtual environment. This article explains how ITI’s latest simulations and training programs are helping contractors reduce risk and develop a stronger workforce for the future.
If you are heading to Las Vegas for CONEXPO, make sure to stop by the North Hall. Industrial Training International (ITI) will be at booth N10466 to show off the latest in construction training. As an industry leader, ITI helps crane operators and maintenance teams perform their jobs with greater confidence. This year, they are highlighting how digital technology can make high-risk work much safer for everyone involved.
New features for the VR Crane Simulator
One of the biggest attractions at the ITI booth is the updated VR Crane Simulator. This tool was recently named a finalist for the CONEXPO Next Level Awards for its groundbreaking technology. The latest version includes a new 10-ton overhead crane and more complex training scenarios that mirror real-world challenges. It even features a new Magnetek brand transmitter to make the experience feel exactly like the real thing. This allows operators to practice difficult lifts without the risk or downtime of using actual equipment.
Better ways to learn: Maintenance and tower cranes
ITI is also introducing new programs designed to fill the skills gap in the construction trades. They have launched new maintenance and electrical training that covers the fundamentals of troubleshooting. For those in specialized roles, ITI is now offering full-blended learning for tower crane operations. This approach combines online coursework with VR simulations and on-site instructor training. By mixing different styles, workers can learn faster and remember their training longer.
The power of Interplay Learning
In 2024, ITI joined forces with Interplay Learning, a global leader in immersive training. This partnership has allowed ITI to expand its catalog to more than 100 online courses and advanced skill assessments. By combining ITI’s decades of crane expertise with Interplay’s digital platforms, they are setting a new standard for how industrial teams grow. Visitors to the booth can speak directly with the team to learn how these scalable solutions can be customized for any company.
