LOADING TOOLS an existing mining fleet composed of 46 Cat 793D haul trucks and seven 6060 excavators (two of these are older RH340 machines). Anglo American’s new Quellaveco mine as well as operating a 7495 shovel fleet will also operate a Caterpillar 6060 hydraulic mining shovel, which will be the first of its kind in Peru. This 6060 will be one of the latest models with the latest technologies applied and mainly all Caterpillar components. The 6060 name as opposed to 6060B and dropping the letter is part of the Cat nomenclature for the newest version of this machine. Then over in Australia, Stanmore Coal in 2019 opted to acquire a Caterpillar 6060 excavator for the Isaac Plains East mine from Cat dealer Hasting Deering. NRW’s contract miner Golding operates and maintains the machine which either moves prime overburden in front of the dragline or overburden in dedicated excavator and truck pits uncovering coal. And a revamp for the Cat 6030 Powered by a pair of fuel-efficient Cat ® C27 engines, the new version of the Cat 6030 hydraulic excavator is available in configurations to meet diesel emissions standards in highly regulated countries, 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. As with previous models, the 6030 is offered in backhoe and face shovel configuration to meet site needs. With a bucket payload of 30 t, the shovel is a three-pass match with the Cat 777 truck and a five-pass match with the Cat 785 mining truck. Cat’s new 6030 meets emissions standards in highly regulated countries The new 6030 meets the strictest diesel emissions standards when equipped with a maintenance-free diesel oxidation catalyst emissions control system, proven in a number of other Cat machines using C27 engines. In this configuration, the 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.
