Benefits & Features
Optimize Your Operation
Optimize Your Operation with a Robust Drive System and Our Engine Design
Select the drive system best suited for your operation to optimize performance and efficiency. The Cat 6060 can be equipped with a single electric motor for lower operating costs and emissions or two Cat 3512E diesel engines for greater mobility.
Boost productivity
Boost productivity with more constant revolutions per minute (rpm), and less scheduled down time for refueling or engine maintenance.
Reduce total cost of ownership
Reduce total cost of ownership with an electric motor designed to last the life of the shovel and dramatically lower operating costs per working hour for electric energy (kWh) vs diesel fuel (L/h).
Evaluate Operating Conditions
Evaluate actual operating conditions of the electric motor against stored limit values with our Motor Protection Relay (MPR). The MPR provides protection from thermal overload, overcurrent, unbalance, load loss, and improper voltage or frequency. Data generated by MPR is also consumed and displayed in the cab by the Board Control system (BCS).
Pass Match
With its rated payload of 61 tonnes (67 tons) the 6060 AC is tailor-made to 4-pass load 218-227 tonne (240-250 ton) trucks, like the Cat 793D and 793F or to 5-pass load 291 tonne (320 ton) trucks like the Cat 794 AC.
Durability & Reliability
Harsh mining conditions
Withstand harsh mining conditions with a rugged face shovel attachment designed with high-strength steel and castings, which are joined and thermally stressed-relieved to extend service life and achieve production targets.
Increase uptime
Increase uptime with our new and improved undercarriage.
—Updated heavy duty load rollers and idlers incorporate duo cone seals, steel-back bronze bearings and fixed axle technology resulting in increased service life and elimination of overheating during travel.
—Improvements to track pads, track tensioning, and wear volume increase durability and reliability of the undercarriage as well.
—The new heavy-duty rollers are retrofi ttable to improve reliability of shovels in the field.
Lower Costs per Ton with Greater Efficiency
Faster boom movements
Realize faster boom movements and cycle times with boom lowering float valves. Using gravity rather than hydraulic pumps to lower the boom increases efficiency and enables pumps to support other functions simultaneously, such as bucket curl and stick in or out.
Improve energy efficiency
Improve energy efficiency and generate less heat with our closed-loop swing system. Kinetic energy captured during swing motion is fed back to the system during deceleration, providing more power to drive the main and auxiliary pumps. This reduces the load on the motor and energy consumption.
Increase component life
Increase component life and motor efficiency with our pump management system. This system continuously evaluates real-time motor and hydraulic operating values against set values and adjusts pump output accordingly.
Greater control
Experience greater control with five circuit hydraulics, allowing for two-cylinder motions, two travel motions, and swing to be controlled simultaneously.
Hydraulic components
Protect and extend the life of hydraulic components with our independent oil cooling system. This system functions independent of hydraulic return oil, which increases efficiency by utilizing dedicated pumps to provide cooling capacity as needed. This translates to optimum oil temperature throughout the duty cycle.
TriPower System (Face Shovel Machines)
Unique boom design
Generate superior mechanical leverage and control with our unique boom design and rotatable triangular rockers. These features facilitate quicker cycle times, increased lifting forces, constant boom momentum, automatic constant bucket angle guidance, and automatically limit roll-back.
Faster lifting speeds
Achieve faster lifting speeds and cycle times with the use of smaller-diameter boom cylinders. Maintain constant boom momentum and lifting speed throughout the entire lifting distance.
Minimize material spillage
Minimize material spillage during boom lifting with our automatic constant bucket angle feature. This enables operators to work more safely and effi ciently while lowering cost per ton. Reduce the risk of material spillage with our automatic roll-back limiter. This feature ensures the bucket is always in a safe position— especially at maximum height.
Safe and Comfortable Operator Environment
Excellent Visibility
Protect operators with excellent visibility, safety glass in all cab windows, a top guard protection system and armored glass for the windshield as standard.
Hydraulic controls
Neutralize hydraulic controls when the operator leaves the seat with our integrated safety switch.
Reduce operator fatigue
Reduce operator fatigue with a heated, pneumatically cushioned, multi-adjustable operator's seat, enhanced electro-hydraulic servo control, and intuitive on-board electronics.
Diagnotics
Monitor vital machine and diagnostic data on the large, color touchscreen for convenient troubleshooting and service assistance.
HVAC
Maintain internal ambient temperature with a single HVAC system or upgrade to a dual HVAC system.
