2025 Caterpillar Hydraulic Mining Shovels 6060 Highly Regulated

The Cat® 6060 Hydraulic Mining Shovel is the industry’s most popular hydraulic shovel in its size class. And for good reason. With its rated payload of 61 tonnes (67 tons), the Cat 6060 was the first shovel in the mining industry tailor-made for mines using 240-ton (218-tonne) haul trucks, providing an efficient truck-shovel system solution to meet production capacity in these environments. Today's 6060 remains the ideal shovel for these applications, with improvements and enhancements in durability and reliability to deliver the uptime you demand. And its powerful engine and efficient hydraulic system allow higher working speeds for fast cycle times. The result is higher productivity and lower overall owning and operating costs.

Features may include:

• Emergency egress ladder with a self-closing door located in direct proximity to the cab.

• Safer access with 45-degree powered access stairway that features emergency lowering via a nitrogen accumulator, which ensures it remains operational even when engines shut off.

• Improved operator comfort with Cat Next Gen heated and cooled seat and integrated joysticks.

• First-in-class and patented 3-seat design, including elevated full-size trainer’s seat and laptop work desk.

• Improved structures, including increased weight, strengthened superstructure and increased thickness in several locations.

• 33% longer service life for new and enlarged slew ring.

• Up to 15% greater efficiency through Hydraulic Optimization, which dynamically assigns individual pumps or groups of pumps to deliver the exact flow and pressure that each hydraulic function requires.

• Faster cycle times and improved energy efficiency delivered by closed-loop swing system, which also generates less heat.

• Buckets and ground engaging tools (GET) designed to maximize durability and productivity and ideally matched to your shovel and application.

• Integrated to work as part of a machine system — helping you achieve high productivity and the lowest cost per ton.

• Variety of sizes and material densities for the ideal match to your shovel and application.
