A new hydraulic mining shovel is available in configurations to meet the strictest diesel emissions standards, such as those in North America and Europe.
The Cat 6030 Hydraulic Mining Shovel features Product Link Elite, which enables data communications for 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 parts supply and dealer services. The new model is the first in the hydraulic shovel line to display the Cat Modern Hex graphics.
The shovel is offered in backhoe and face shovel configurations to meet site needs. With a bucket payload of 30 t, the shovel is a 3-pass match with the Cat 777 truck and a 5-pass match with the Cat 785 mining truck.
Emissions configurations for all regions
The new model 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 and delivers low operating costs. It produces gross power of 1 209 kW when configured for lowest emissions.
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 1 141 kW in this configuration.
In addition to its diesel-powered model, the company continues to offer the electrically powered 6030 AC FS face shovel for mines optimised for such machines.
