CRADLE TO GRAVE
SHOVEL MEETS EMISSION
STANDARDS
Powered by a pair of fuel-efficient Cat C27 engines, the new
Cat 6030 hydraulic mining shovel is available in configurations
to meet the strictest diesel emissions standards, such as those
in North America and Europe. The new shovel also features
Product Link Elite, which enables data communications for
comprehensive machine health monitoring in the operations
office using Cat MineStar Health.
To further boost machine availability and utilisation, major
6030 components are fully integrated into Caterpillar product
support systems for reliable parts supply and efficient Cat
dealer services. The new 6030 also claims the honour of being
the first in the hydraulic shovel line to display the new Cat
Modern Hex graphics.
The new 6030 meets the strictest diesel emissions standards
when equipped with a diesel oxidation catalyst emissions
control system. In this configuration, the C27 engines meet
US EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emissions standards. The
system does not use diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) and delivers
low operating costs. The 6030 produces gross power of
1 209kW (1 620 hp) when configured for lowest emissions.
As with previous models, the 6030 is offered in backhoe and
face shovel configurations to meet site needs. With a bucket
payload of 30 tonnes (33 tons), the shovel is a 3-pass match
with the Cat 777 truck and a 5-pass match with the Cat 785
mining truck.
As with previous models, the 6030 is offered in backhoe and face shovel
configurations to meet site needs.
For customers who do not require Tier 4 Final or Stage V
emissions performance, the 6030 is configured to meet China
Nonroad Stage III emissions standards, equivalent to US EPA
Tier 2. The 6030 produces gross power of 1 141kW (1 529hp) in
this configuration.
In addition to the new diesel-powered 6030, Caterpillar
continues to offer the electrically powered 6030 AC FS (face
shovel) for mines optimised for such machines.
