Hydraulic Mining Shovels

The new Cat 6015B Hydraulic Shovel meets your need to move more material at a lower cost, so you can achieve production targets, deliver on your commitments, meet deadlines – and maximize your profitability. Load more, make more.
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.
