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. The 6030
