6030 Hydraulic Shovel

We’re always looking for ways to make the 6030 better. The only shovel in its size class offered with dual engines, it’s available with a Tier 4 Final engine solution that eliminates the need for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), saving time and cost during maintenance.

SAFETY

• Safety glass in all windows and armored windshield protect operators.
• Five emergency shut-off switches, with one easily accessible in the cab to shut down the electrical system in case of emergencies.
• Safer access and egress with anti-slip walkways, 45-degree hydraulically operated access stairway and emergency egress ladder located in direct proximity to the cab.
• Safer service with lockable starter and battery isolation switch cabinet, improved routing and separation of hydraulic lines and electric cables, pressure relief caps and protective covers on all hot surfaces.
• Excellent visibility, enhanced by optional two-camera system and standard LED high-brightness working and service lights.

OPERATOR CAB

• Easy access to intuitive, informative onboard electronics, plus large, color touchscreen that puts vital machine and diagnostic data at the operator’s fingertips.
• Maintained ambient temperature with optional dual HVAC system.
• Easily accessible ergonomic joysticks with Electronic-Hydraulic Servo Control, which delivers dynamic and precise response and ensures no hydraulic lines are present in the cab.
• Clean arrangement and less noise, with no hydraulic lines present in the cab or the cab module,
• Pneumatically cushioned, multi-adjustable, heated seat, plus auxiliary trainer seat with retractable seat belt.

RELIABILITY & DURABILITY

• Integrated carbody and crawler frames with Cat® HD undercarriage, which extends service life and offers improved durability and lower owning and operating costs.
• Heavy duty fixed-axle rollers and idlers for improved performance, increased wear life, reduced internal friction and overheating, and lifetime lubrication and duo cone seals for reduced maintenance.
• Heavy duty track group, which handles high field loads, and reduced pitch extension wear, which increases track chain life by 20% to 40%.
• Structures designed and fabricated to withstand the toughest digging conditions, with high-strength steel, heavy castings at attachment pivot points and booms and sticks that are stress-relieved after welding.

PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE

• Durable Cat C27 engines, which offer unsurpassed performance, high power output and proven reliability, and have been proven to withstand the challenging conditions found at mine sites across the globe.
• Greater productivity, less energy and fuel consumption and reduced wear thanks to intelligent pump managing system, which continuously evaluates actual engine and hydraulic operating values against set values and adjusts pump output accordingly.
• Reduced cycle times thanks to the use of float valves rather than engaging pumps to lower the boom, which facilitates faster boom movements and allows other operating functions such as bucket curl and stick in/out to occur simultaneously.
• Easier and faster face shovel operation with unique TriPower design, which generates superior mechanical leverage and control.
• Increased productivity and greater uptime with the twin engine concept, which enables up to 65% of full production with a single engine.

BUCKETS & GET

• 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 wear packages for the ideal match to your shovel and application.
• Deliver optimal payload when combined with Cat GET and wear components.
• Wear packages that protect your investment, including special liner material and lip shrouds, wing shrouds and heel shrouds.

CONNECTIVITY & TECHNOLOGY

• Greater connectivity with improved Product Link™ Elite system, which increases the availability of data provided by the 6030 and allows it to collect and transmit information into locally hosted or cloud-hosted applications such as Cat MineStar™ Solutions Health Office, Health Equipment Insights, or Equipment Care Advisor.
• Enhanced diagnostic capabilities and troubleshooting functions with factory-installed Monitoring and Diagnostic System.
• Earliest possible detection of faults, with Board Control System that uses sensors throughout the machine to monitor operating data, record faults, and notify the operator audibly and visually.

SERVICEABILITY

• Better organized hoses and components, plus integration of Cat hoses and couplings, which offer industry-leading reliability and performance and ability to source locally using all Cat materials.
• Service station that provides easy access to functions such as coolant, hydraulic oil, slew gear box oil, grease, and diesel and engine oil.
• Reduced maintenance downtime thanks to exchange intervals for engine oil and engine filters that have been increased from 500 to 1,000 hours.
• Clear arrangement of components on the superstructure, which allows easy access and serviceability for coolant expansion tanks, air intake filters, oil tank breather, HVAC units, grease tank, exhaust, and starter and battery isolator.
• Access to Cat Electronic Technician (ET), which enables easy diagnosis of potential engine problems and can help prevent future issues.

SUSTAINABILITY

• Highly regulated C27 engines that meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission requirements and eliminate the need for DEF, saving time and cost during maintenance.
• Less heat and improved efficiency with the closed-loop swing circuit.
• Reduced waste and lower owning and operating costs thanks to increased commonality of systems and components, plus a reduction in unique part numbers.
• Preservation of raw materials, energy conservation and reduced emissions through the Cat Reman program, which returns end-of-life components to like-new condition.
