6020 Hydraulic Shovel

SAFETY

• Operator Protective Guard (Top Guard) certified cab with safety glass windshield.
• Excellent visibility thanks to cab position that provides clear view to the digging and loading areas, in-floor window that provides a view to the tracks, LED lighting, and optional camera monitoring system.
• Multiple emergency shut-off switches, including a pull switch accessible from the ground.
• Safer access and egress with wide anti-slip walkways, retractable 45-degree stairway and three means of egress for fast emergency exit.
• Safer service with lockable battery isolation and starter lockout switch, plus safe access to power module components from machine platform and counterweight.

OPERATOR CAB

• Quiet and fully pressurized cab with ergonomic operator seat and controls, superior insulation, extensive in-cab air distribution via powerful HVAC unit and multiple, optimally positioned vents.
• 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.
• Greater controllability with ergonomic joystick controls and five circuit hydraulics that allow for two-cylinder motions, two travel motions, and swing to be controlled simultaneously.
• Enhanced training capability, with patented 3-seat design, elevated observer’s work station and easily dual in-cab emergency stop buttons.
• 10-inch high-definition color touchscreen display that includes troubleshooting aids and machine documentation.

RELIABILITY & DURABILITY

    
• Better wear of undercarriage components thanks to floating push tube, which delivers even idler slide wear and extended component life; low wear drive system via induction hardened and high quantity of sprocket teeth; and optional rough terrain undercarriage protection kit.

    

• Cat exclusive Positive Pin Retention 2 (PPR2) Track design, which resists pin walking and link cracking for reliable sealing and maximum track life.

    

• Structures designed and fabricated to withstand the toughest digging conditions, with high-strength steel; full penetration, profiled and ground welds at critical junctures; and booms and sticks that are stress-relieved after welding.

    

• Efficient Independent Oil Cooling system, which protects and extends the life of hydraulic components.

    

• New heavy-duty rolled track shoe offers extended life thanks to an updated manufacturing process and higher-strength material. We’ve also moved from two size offerings to three (750 mm, 950 mm and 1200 mm), allowing these track shoes to provide lower ground pressure for a wider range of applications.

PRODUCTIVITY & PERFORMANCE

    
• 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.

    

• New C32B engine offers even greater durability and reliability than its predecessor, with a higher flow oil pump, new cylinder head, and more. Increased piston compression height enables higher power in select applications.

    

• Engine optimized for low fuel consumption at 1,800 rpm and lower speeds, plus significant gains in fuel consumption through collaboration of engine and machine integration.

    

• Maximum uptime, without work interruption for regeneration, engine derate, or cold weather treatment of secondary fluid.

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.
• Four tip shapes of hammerless GET designed specifically for the 6020, with no special tools required for removal and installation.
• 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 6020 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.
• 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.
• Factory-ready for Cat MineStar™ Solutions, with a range of capabilities that meet the needs of your fleet.

SERVICEABILITY

• Modular design that facilitates quick field assembly — as few as 14 days in typical condition.
• Exchangeable power module that can be quickly swapped out for a spare, then transported for repair in a safe, convenient and clean environment.
• Exceptional component accessibility and weather protection via first-in-class and spacious walk-through power module.
• Superior swing system component accessibility via boom-mounted hydraulic valve block, and ground-level accessible service fluid fill points and jump start receptacle.
• Simplified undercarriage serviceability, with automatic track tensioning system, which requires no manual adjustment; externally serviceable break; and PPR2 Tracks that are easily serviced with a master joint.

SUSTAINABILITY

    
• Highly regulated C32B engine certified to meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V emissions standards without the need for DEF — saving time and cost during maintenance.

    

• Sound-suppressed power module to keep spectator sound levels low.

    

• Preservation of raw materials, energy conservation and reduced emissions through the Cat Reman and Cat Rebuild programs, which return end-of-life components to like-new condition.
