6060 Hydraulic Mining Shovel
THE RUNDOWN
SAFETY
- Excellent visibility thanks to cab position that provides clear view to the digging and loading areas, floor window that provides a view to the tracks, LED lighting, and optional camera monitoring system.
- Emergency egress ladder with a self-closing door located in direct proximity to the cab.
- Safer access with 45-degree powered access stairway that features emergency lowering via a nitrogen accumulator, which ensures it remains operational even when engines shut off.
- Safer electrical and/or mechanical maintenance thanks to lockable starter and battery isolation switch cabinet.
- Safer service with improved sealing between engines and hydraulic pumps, improved routing and separation of hydraulic lines and electric cables.
OPERATOR CAB
- Improved operator comfort with Cat Next Gen heated and cooled seat and integrated joysticks.
- First-in-class and patented 3-seat design, including elevated full-size trainer’s seat and laptop work desk.
- New and improved air conditioning system.
- Reduced noise and temperature control thanks to superior insulation.
- Productivity-boosting Operator Assist – Enhanced Motion Control, which reduces fatigue and helps inexperienced operators more confidently load material.
RELIABILITY & DURABILITY
- Improved structures, including increased weight, strengthened superstructure and increased thickness in several locations.
- 33% longer service life for new and enlarged slew ring.
- New undercarriage with long-life components, frame and electronics.
- New crawler frame and Cat undercarriage with HD rollers, HD idlers, HD track, and track tensioning.
- New and improved engine design that improves reliability and extends gallons consumed before first overhaul by 10%, which also contributes to longer engine life.
PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE
- Up to 15% greater efficiency through Hydraulic Optimization, which dynamically assigns individual pumps or groups of pumps to deliver the exact flow and pressure that each hydraulic function requires.
- Faster cycle times and improved energy efficiency delivered by closed-loop swing system, which also generates less heat.
- Greater operator control thanks to five circuit hydraulics that allow for two cylinder motions, two travel motions, and swing to be controlled simultaneously.
- Easier and faster face shovel operation with unique TriPower face shovel design, which generates superior mechanical leverage and control.
- Increased productivity and greater uptime with the twin engine concept, which enables up to 65% of full production with a single engine.
BUCKETS & GET
- Buckets and ground engaging tools (GET) designed to maximize durability and productivity and ideally matched to your shovel and application.
- Integrated to work as part of a machine system — helping you achieve high productivity and the lowest cost per ton.
- Variety of sizes and material densities for the ideal match to your shovel and application.
- Deliver optimal payload when combined with Cat GET and wear components.
