6060 Electric Hydraulic Mining Shovel
The Cat® 6060 Electric Hydraulic Mining Shovel combines everything you love about the 6060 with everything you demand from Caterpillar to deliver a shovel that uses efficient electric power to help you produce more — while keeping uptime high and operating costs low. Powered by dual electric motors, the 6060 Electric uses power more efficiently than diesel machines and produces zero direct carbon emissions.With its rated backhoe payload of 65 tonnes (71) tons and face shovel payload of 61 tonnes (67 tons), the 6060 was among the first shovels in the mining industry tailor-made for mines using 240-ton (218-tonne) haul trucks, providing an efficient 4-pass solution to meet production capacity in these environments.

Features & Benefits
SAFETY
- Excellent visibility thanks to cab position that provides clear view to the digging and loading areas, floor window that provides a view to the tracks, LED lighting and standard Vision 360 camera monitoring system.
- Emergency egress ladder with a self-closing door located in direct proximity to the cab.
- Safer access with 45-degree powered access stairway that features emergency lowering via a nitrogen accumulator, which ensures it remains operational even when the machine shuts off.
- Safer electrical and/or mechanical maintenance thanks to lockable battery isolation switch.
- Safer service with improved sealing between motors and hydraulic pumps, improved routing and separation of hydraulic lines and electric cables.
OPERATOR CAB
- Improved operator comfort with Cat Next Gen heated and cooled seat and integrated joysticks.
- First-in-class and patented 3-seat design, including elevated full-size trainer’s seat and laptop work desk.
- New and improved air conditioning system.
- Reduced noise and better temperature control thanks to superior insulation.
- Productivity-boosting Operator Assist – Enhanced Motion Control, which reduces fatigue and helps inexperienced operators more confidently load material.
RELIABILITY & DURABILITY
- Improved structures, including increased weight, strengthened superstructure and increased thickness in several locations.
- 33% longer service life for new and enlarged slew ring.
- New undercarriage with long-life components, frame and electronics.

- Independent Oil Cooling system that protects and extends the life of hydraulic components by keeping oil at optimal temperature.
PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE
- Up to 5% greater efficiency through Hydraulic Optimization, which dynamically assigns individual pumps or groups of pumps to deliver the exact flow and pressure that each hydraulic function requires.
- Faster boom movement by using float valves instead of pumps to lower the boom.
- Faster cycle times and improved energy efficiency delivered by closed-loop swing system, which also generates less heat.
- Greater operator control thanks to five circuit hydraulics that allow for two cylinder motions, two travel motions, and swing to be controlled simultaneously.
- Easier and faster face shovel operation with unique TriPower face shovel design, which generates superior mechanical leverage and control.
- Increased productivity and greater uptime with twin motors, which enable up to 65% of full production with a single motor.
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 material densities for the ideal match to your shovel and application.
- Deliver optimal payload when combined with Cat GET and wear components.
