Tracked spider-lift simulator

Simulate a tracked spider lift — driving, outriggers, boom and payload — and check every move against safety interlocks.

Illustrative figures. Planning and training tool — not a certified load chart.

The problem

Operators and planners need to try a lift plan before arriving on site, without risking a real machine.

Our solution

A Python simulator with a machine-state model (position, boom geometry, payload, ground slope), operating interlocks, a payload-dependent outreach envelope, JSON scenario scripts, a REPL and an animated view. Clearly labelled as a planning and training tool, not a certified load chart.

  • Interlocks: outriggers before boom, stow before drive
  • Payload-dependent outreach envelope
  • Scenario scripts with JSON / CSV export
  • Animated playback

Result

Working MVP with scenario runner, interlocks, envelope checks, exports and animation.
