Robust Drive Systems

Select the drive system best suited for your operation to optimize performance and efficiency. The Cat 6030 can be equipped with a single electric motor for lower operating costs and emissions or two Cat C27 diesel engines for greater mobility.

Delivering durable, reliable and consistent power that will keep your primary loading tool producing, the custom-made electric motor with increased gap between rotor and stator is has proven its ability to stand-up to the harshest conditions while providing the mobility and flexibility you desire.

Boost productivity with more constant revolutions per minute (rpm), and less scheduled down time for refueling or engine maintenance.

The 6030 AC is the ideal solution for operations that do not require a great deal of mobility and value a low cost-per-ton model.

Reduce total cost of ownership with an electric motor designed to last the life of the shovel and dramatically lower operating costs per working hour for electric energy (kWh) vs diesel fuel (L/h).

Durability and Reliability

Withstand harsh mining conditions less vibration and rugged front attachments designed with high-strength steel and castings, which are joined and thermally stressed-relieved to extend service life and achieve production targets.

Increase uptime with our new and improved undercarriage:
— Updated heavy duty load rollers and idlers incorporate duo cone seals, steel-back bronze bearings and fixed axle technology resulting in increased service life and elimination of overheating during travel.
— Improvements to track pads, track tensioning, and wear volume increase durability and reliability of the undercarriage as well.
— The new heavy-duty rollers are
retrofittable to improve reliability of shovels in the field.

Higher Productivity and Greater Efficiency

Produce the most tons per hour at a lower cost with industry leading bucket capacity and fuel efficiency.

Realize faster boom movements and cycle times with boom lowering fl oat valves. Using gravity rather than hydraulic pumps to lower the boom increases efficiency and enables pumps to support other functions simultaneously, such as bucket curl and stick in or out.
Improve energy efficiency and generate less heat with our closed-loop swing system. Kinetic energy captured during swing motion is fed back to the system during deceleration, providing more power to drive the main and auxiliary pumps. This reduces the load on the motor and energy consumption.

— Increase component life and motor efficiency with our pump management system. This system continuously evaluates real-time motor and hydraulic operating values against set values and adjusts pump output accordingly
— Protect and extend the life of hydraulic components with our independent oil cooling system. This system functions independent of hydraulic return oil, which increases efficiency by utilizing dedicated pumps to provide cooling capacity as needed. This translates to optimum oil temperature throughout the duty cycle.

Experience greater control with five circuit hydraulics, allowing for two-cylinder motions, two travel motions, and swing to be controlled simultaneously.

Achieve targeted production with an optimized truck match to maximize volume of material moved at the lowest operating cost per ton. The Cat 6030 AC is optimally matched with Cat 777 or Cat 785 Large Mining Trucks.

TriPower System (Face Shovel Machines)

— Generate superior mechanical leverage and control with our unique boom design and rotatable triangular rockers. These features facilitate quicker cycle times, increased lifting forces, constant boom momentum, automatic constant bucket angle guidance, and automatically limit roll-back.
— Achieve faster lifting speeds and cycle times with the use of smaller-diameter boom cylinders.
— Maintain constant boom momentum and lifting speed throughout the entire lifting distance.

— Minimize material spillage during boom lifting with our automatic constant bucket angle feature. This enables operators to work more safely and efficiently while lowering cost per ton.
— Reduce the risk of material spillage with our automatic roll-back limiter. This feature ensures the bucket is always in a safe position — especially at maximum height.

Safe and Comfortable Operator Environment

Protect operators with excellent visibility, safety glass in all cab windows, a top guard protection system and armored glass for the windshield as standard. An additional front guard is optional.

Neutralize hydraulic controls when the operator leaves the seat with our integrated safety switch.

Reduce operator fatigue with a heated, pneumatically cushioned, multi-adjustable operator's seat, enhanced electro-hydraulic servo control, and intuitive on-board electronics.

Monitor vital machine and diagnostic data on the large, color touchscreen for convenient troubleshooting and service assistance.

Maintain internal ambient temperature with a single HVAC system or upgrade to a dual HVAC system.

Cat MineStar System and Technology Solutions

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.

The Cat 6030 AC is able to utilize the following Cat MineStar System capability sets:

Fleet: Fleet provides real-time machine tracking, assignment and productivity management, providing a comprehensive overview of all your asset operations from anywhere in the world.
Terrain: Terrain enables high-precision management of drilling, dragline, grading and loading operations through the use of guidance technology. It increases machine productivity and provides you real-time feedback for improved efficiency.
Detect: Detect helps increase operator awareness, enhancing safety at your operation. It includes a range of capabilities designed to assist the operator, including blind spot and proximity detection of fixed and mobile equipment.
Health: Health delivers critical event-based machine condition and operating data for your entire fleet. It includes comprehensive equipment health and asset monitoring capabilities, with a wide range of diagnostic, analytic and reporting tools.

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.

Front Attachment Options and Structures

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 face 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.

Heavy castings at all pivot points
Better flow of forces and less welding seams, as top chords are made of one bend plate.
Entire boom and stick are stress relieved after welding.
Welding procedures allow for internal welding (double prep weld).

Safety

Maintain safe operations with easily accessible and well-marked switch cabinets for both low and high voltage switches. The complete high voltage switch cabinet is pre-assembled for easy transport.

Evaluate actual operating conditions of the electric motor against stored limit values with our Motor Protection Relay (MPR). The MPR provides protection from thermal overload, overcurrent, unbalance, load loss, and improper voltage or frequency. Data generated by MPR is also consumed and displayed in the cab by the Board Control system (BCS).
— Access, egress, and move about the machine more safely with anti-slip stairways and a powered access ladder. — Increase operational safety with automatic load braking when doors on the high voltage cabinet are opened, a standard cable connection, and improved routing and separation of hydraulic lines and electric cables.
— Improve machine service and maintenance safety with anti-slip walkways, a ground-level service station, LED lights, and easily accessible emergency shut-off and isolation switches.

Customer Support

Cat dealers offer a wide range of solutions, services and products that help you lower costs, enhance productivity and manage your operation more efficiently. From the time you select a piece of Cat equipment until the day you trade or sell it, the support you get from your Cat dealer makes the difference.

When Cat products reach the field, they are supported by a worldwide network of parts distribution facilities, dealer service centers and technical training facilities to keep your equipment up and running.
