Giving you the option to choose the drive system best suited for your operation, the Cat 6030/6030 FS can be equipped with either two Cat C27 ACERT diesel engines for greater mobility, or an electric drive for better efficiency.

Delivering durable, reliable power that will keep your primary loading tool producing, the C27 ACERT is one of the most widely used engines in the mining industry, proving its ability to stand-up to the harshest conditions while providing the mobility and flexibility you desire.

Boosting your productivity, the C27 ACERT equipped Cat 6030/6030 FS offers the most powerful engine output in its size class.

Faster cycle times are realized, because float valves are used to lower the boom instead of engaging pumps. This facilitates faster boom movements and allows other operating functions to occur simultaneously, such as bucket curl and stick in/out.

Your operators will experience greater control with our five circuit hydraulics, allowing for two cylinder motions, two travel motions, and swing to be controlled simultaneously.

Easier maintenance is afforded by the free accessibility of swing gears and rotary distributor.

For maximum swing power and faster cycle times, the 6030/6030 FS utilizes the same swing gears as its larger Cat counterparts.

For added reliability, all lube lines are located inside the roller bearing for maximum protection.

Extending component life and ultimately improving machine uptime, our swing system includes a triple-race swing roller bearing with internal gearing connected to an automatic lubrication system.

To extend service life and ensure that your shovel keeps producing, our front attachment structures are designed for durability and dependability. Whether you equip your hydraulic shovel in backhoe or front shovel configuration, extended performance in the harsh mining conditions you face daily is accomplished through selection of high-strength steels and rugged castings, joined and thermally stress-relieved, to help you achieve your productivity targets.

For full truck payloads with minimum loading time, an efficient loading/hauling system begins with an optimized equipment match. Cat hydraulic shovels are matched with Cat mining trucks to maximize volume of material moved at the lowest operating cost per ton.

Enhancing diagnostic capabilities and providing detailed troubleshooting functions, our Board Control System uses sensors throughout the machine to monitor operating data, record faults, and notify the operator audibly and visually. This promotes the earliest possible detection of faults and allows for timely maintenance planning and assistance for speedy repair.

It consists of a number of configurable capability sets – Fleet, Terrain, Detect, Health, and Command – that allow you to scale the system to your mine site needs. Cat MineStar System helps you manage everything from material tracking to sophisticated real-time fleet management, machine health systems, autonomous equipment, and more.

Aimed at enhancing the productivity and profitability of your hydraulic shovel, we currently offer a combination of Cat MineStar System offerings and Cat hydraulic shovel technology solutions.

Parts book, Technical and Operating handbook, as well as hydraulic and electric schematics are available in electronic format.

Less vibration and more even machine movement via reduced pressure peaks.

Reduced hydraulic pulsation lessens stress imposed on the engine and hydraulic components.

Engine works in optimal range of performance during the entire digging cycle, reducing fuel burn.

Streamlined system requires only one type of controller for each function (i.e., left side drive train, right side drive train, servo, and auxiliary) reducing the number of required controllers in the system and associated replacement stock.

No hydraulic lines are present in the cab or the cab module, ensuring a clean arrangement with less noise emission.

Easier setting of servo control characteristics allow operators to adjust to their preference.

Uptime is increased as a result of simplified troubleshooting and advanced diagnostic capabilities.

The system relays actuating signals from the joysticks, delivering fast and precise machine reactions facilitate a reduction in operator fatigue.

Help your team meet productivity and performance standards with our intuitive, informative on-board electronics.

We understand that the most important factor in your hydraulic shovel's effectiveness is the performance of its operator. To help make their workday as productive as possible, we've incorporated safety and comfort features into the 6030/6030 FS operator's cab.

Faster boom lift motion during swing is achieved with our closed-loop swing system, increasing overall productivity.

Energy is saved during acceleration via torque control, providing a pressure balance valve that controls the swing pump against pressure in the closed-loop swing circuit, ensuring that only the minimum necessary oil flow is utilized at any given time.

Kinetic energy captured during the swing motion is fed back into the system during deceleration, providing more power to drive the main and auxiliary pumps. Energy is saved during deceleration, because braking occurs via counteracting controls, as opposed to throttles used in open circuit swing systems.

Delivering faster cycle times and improved energy efficiency, while also generating less heat, our closed-loop swing circuit provides distinct advantages over competitive machines utilizing open-circuit swing systems.

Pump managing system advantages include:

• Best possible utilization of engine output and engine overload avoidance via electronic load limit regulation
• Less energy consumption and less thermal load on hydraulic oil with zero oil flow regulation for main pumps
• Less fuel consumption and lower noise emission via automatic RPM reduction
• Reduced component wear and lower noise emission with automatic oil flow reduction for closing/opening of bucket clam
• Protection of components with automatic oil flow reduction if hydraulic and/or engine coolant temperature exceed set maximum
• Improved operator control response via on-demand pump flow

Delivering optimal performance, our pump managing system continuously evaluates actual engine and hydraulic operating values against set values, and adjusts pump output accordingly. This results in efficient use of the engine for greater productivity.

The high-efficient oil cooling system ensures that the oil temperature is only 25° to 30° C (45° to 54° F) higher than the ambient temperature. Thus, the hydraulic oil's working temperature remains within the optimal operating viscosity range of 50° to 70° C (122° to 158° F).

Additional efficiency is achieved via our thermostatically controlled radiator fan speed. The fans do not run until oil temperature exceeds a temperature of 50° C (122° F), saving energy.

Our system is independent of return oil, achieving efficiency through the utilization of dedicated pumps that provide cooling capacity as needed, whether the engine is idling or under load. That means optimum oil temperature is being maintained, even while your operator waits for the next truck to load. Competitive hydraulic shovels only provide cooling when the machine is working and the engine is under load.

Providing a more efficient means of cooling, particularly in demanding applications, our unique independent oil cooling system will extend the life of your hydraulic shovel's components.

Ensuring neat organization for safe operation, easy inspection, and fast service, and reducing the number of hoses needed, the main valve block is located on top of the boom.

– Preventing material spillage back on to the operator's cab and machine superstructure, our system ensures that the bucket is always in a safe position, without operator control/manipulation, when it is at maximum height. – The boom cylinder continues to receive maximum oil flow, because the operator does not need to activate the bucket cylinder.
