-
More than 15% Higher Productivity
- With the most powerful engine in its class, the 6015B provides class-leading cycle times, larger payload capacity and unmatched productivity. The 6015B also has class-leading tool carrying capacity to work across the spectrum of activities most commonly found in heavy construction, quarry and aggregate, and demolition.
-
More than 20% Better Fuel Efficiency
- Delivering at least a 20% fuel efficiency advantage over current shovels in its class, the Cat 6015B cuts fuel costs for every ton moved.
-
1 Pass Advantage
- The Cat 6015B comes standard with an 8.1 m3 (10.6 yd3 ) bucket, giving it a full one-pass advantage per cycle over the leading standard equipped shovels in its class. Faster cycle times and bigger loads per bucket add up to more trucks loaded per shift and top production efficiency.
FEATURES AT A GLANCE
Powerful Engine
Offering 606 kW (813 hp) of rated power via its single C27 engine, the 6015B is capable of providing class-leading cycle times and unmatched productivity.
The Cat C27 engine delivers power and reliability, ensuring top performance, high productivity, and exceptional service life. Its durability has been proven in heavy construction, quarry/aggregate, and mining applications alike; the versatility required of a 100 tonne (110 ton) hydraulic shovel.
The development of our new engine technology began with the search for a better way to reduce diesel engine emissions, and culminated in a revolutionary engine design breakthrough that burns fuel more precisely than ever before. Lower combustion temperatures reduce emissions and prolong the life of lighter, more power-dense engine platforms. It also varies the injection timing based on factors like engine load and speed for optimum performance under a wide range of operating conditions, including mining.
Our engines are only as good as the service and support that stand behind them. Highly trained and experienced service technicians at your local Cat dealership are ready with whatever you need, wherever and whenever you need it. They know the Cat C27 ACERT engine inside and out, so they can promptly diagnose issues and keep your 6015B running at peak performance.
Optimized Truck Match
Standard equipped with a large, 8.1 m3 (10.6 yd3) bucket, the 6015B is designed to optimally pass popular Cat 773, 775, and 777 trucks, at 4, 5, and 7 passes, respectively. This is a one pass advantage over leading standard equipped shovels in its class. When consistently achieved, the result is more material moved, and greater profit.
With its ability to pair with trucks most commonly found in heavy construction, quarry/aggregate, and small to mid-size mining applications across the globe, 6015B demonstrates the versatility required of a 100 tonne (110 ton) shovel to be an appropriate and productive fit for any of these environments.

Robust Structures
To extend service life and ensure that your 6015B keeps producing, our structures are designed for durability and dependability. Extended performance in the harsh digging conditions you face daily is accomplished through selection of high-strength steels and rugged castings, joined and thermally stress-relieved to create a reliable external shell.
- Manufactured from high-strength steel for durability.
- Full penetration, profiled and ground welds at critical junctures.
- MT, UT, and X-ray inspections on select welds ensure quality.

- Heat treated castings are used in boom foot area to handle high force boom loads.
- Heavy duty castings in high load areas add exceptional strength and durability.
Fuel Efficiency Technologies
Proprietary Cat integrated engine control technologies keep the engine running at or near the rated speed to maintain an optimized balance of power and fuel efficiency. This technology prevents large drops in engine speed, followed by over speeds, often observed in older equipment. It provides the following benefits:
- Estimates fuel requirements, based on engine speed and torque, and needed machine torque, based on hydraulic load (pumps and fan). This technology ensures faster and more consistent engine regulation by preventing lug, which, in turn, reduces fuel consumption.
- Reduces hydraulic pump output to prevent engine lug, based on available engine torque, desired engine speed, actual engine speed, and estimated hydraulic load. This technology provides power to the machine functions that need it to move material quickly and efficiently.
Closed-Loop Swing System
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 hydrostatically with pump displacement controls, as opposed to throttling flow through breaking valves as in open circuit swing systems.
Energy is saved during swing via speed control, ensuring that only the minimum necessary oil flow is utilized at any given time, and providing smooth acceleration and deceleration for fast cycles.
Efficient Hydraulic System
More efficient hydraulic pump utilization, reduced energy losses, and increased fuel savings are realized with our innovative, automatic flow proportioning technology.
- Additional fuel savings resulting from boom float feature, which regenerates boom oil for reduced engine demand and improved energy efficiency.
- Machine comes equipped with standard high-pressure and return oil filtration.
- A separate kidney loop provides continuous filtration and optimum oil cleanliness at all times, supporting the hydraulic system.

Emissions Technology
The C27 engine on the 6015B hydraulic shovel meets Tier 4 Final emission standards and can be counted on to work productively and economically in heavy construction, quarry/aggregate, and mining applications. It delivers the power and torque needed for optimal performance and fast cycles.
The 6015B meets Tier 4 Final emission standards in the United States and Canada using:
- Cat NOx Reduction System captures and cools a small quantity of exhaust gas, then routes it into the combustion chamber where it drives down combustion temperatures and reduces NOx emissions.
- Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) – uses a chemical process called oxidation to condition exhaust gases to meet emission standards.
- MEUI™-C Fuel System delivers increased fuel efficiency, while further reducing NOx emissions.
