HYDRAULIC MINING SHOVELS

CONTENTS HYDRAULIC MINING SHOVELS

The first digit designates the 6000 Series and is fol- lowed by another three digits indicating the approxi- mate bucket payload of that model in metric tonnes. Without any extra letters, the specific model is a diesel driven hydraulic mining shovel with a backhoe attach- ment. If the machine has a front shovel attachment with diesel drive, the letters “FS,” are added to the four-digit number, separated by a space character. An electrically driven hydraulic mining shovel will show an inserted “AC” after the four-digit number. For instance a 6030 FS is a front shovel with a payload of approximately 30 met- ric tonnes and diesel engines. The following table gives a summary of all versions currently available.

Key design characteristics are high digging forces and quick working cycles for best performance, and a durable design to handle severe working conditions. Hydraulic mining shovels dig and load various commodities, such as gold, copper, iron ore, diamonds and coal, or they remove overburden, in any climatic condition around the world. Typically operated around the clock, Hydraulic Mining Shovels accumulate up to 6500 hours per year. Nomenclature The 6000 Series constitutes the Cat hydraulic mining shovel product line. The name of each individual model gives a direct reference to the size of the machine and consists of a four-digit number, plus additional capital letters in specific cases, depending on the particular drive system and attachment configuration.
