Further extending track life, a state-of-the-art track tensioning system with membrane accumulator automatically adapts the tensioning of the tracks, depending upon operating conditions.
You will realize enhanced safety, greater uptime, more productivity, and better serviceability as a result of our twin engine concept.
The ability to move your shovel to a safe area for repair, away from highwalls, blast zones, or other safety hazards, is still possible with the use of a single engine.
65% of full production can still be achieved with the use of a single engine. This is due to the shovel's continued ability to exert maximum digging forces, to lower the front attachment without requiring engine power (i.e., pressure-free), and to recuperate energy via its closed-loop swing circuit.
Troubleshooting is greatly simplified and expedited with the ability to compare one engine versus the other.
You will experience safer, easier and faster front shovel operation with TriPower, a system proven on over a thousand Cat hydraulic mining shovels worldwide. Generating superior mechanical leverage and control, our FS configured hydraulic mining shovels utilize a unique boom design that employs rotatable triangular rockers. This design facilitates quicker cycle times, increased effective lifting force, constant boom momentum, automatic constant bucket angle, and automatic roll-back limiter.
– Faster lifting speeds are achieved, because the design enables the use of smaller-diameter boom cylinders.
– Design transfers digging forces into the superstructure, creating supporting boom momentum in addition to momentum that is generated hydraulically.
– Allows smaller boom cylinders for higher lifting speed.
– Keeps lifting speed constant.
– Enables the shovel to lift a single load along the entire digging distance.
– No retracting of stick cylinders is required, ensuring that all hydraulic pumps are supplying the boom-up function.
– Material spillage is avoided during boom lifting, because the filled bucket automatically maintains a constant bucket angle.
– On conventional kinematics the operator has to control manually the bucket position during lifting which cut in half the available oil flow for the boom cylinders.
– Preventing material spillage back on to the operator's cab and machine superstructure, our system ensures that the bucket is always in a safe position, without operator control/manipulation, when it is at maximum height.
– The boom cylinder continues to receive maximum oil flow, because the operator does not need to activate the bucket cylinder.
Extending component life and ultimately improving machine uptime, our swing system includes a triple-race swing roller bearing with internal gearing connected to an automatic lubrication system.
For added reliability, all lube lines are located inside the roller bearing for maximum protection.
Easier maintenance is afforded by the free accessibility of swing gears and rotary distributor.
Meeting the needs of today without compromising the needs of tomorrow is the goal for all Cat machinery. The commitment to helping you operate safely and sustainably is affirmed in the production of the 6090 FS hydraulic mining shovel.
Energy Recovery – Emit less heat and improve energy efficiency via the energy recovery capability of the closed-loop swing circuit.
Rebuilds – Decrease your energy use and material consumption with a machine that's designed to be rebuilt.
Lowering your operating costs and maximizing your hydraulic mining shovel's uptime and productivity is of supreme importance to us. To that end, we've made vital components more accessible and designed simpler systems to make maintenance activities quicker and easier.
Facilitating easier maintenance, exceptional accessibility is provided to systems like the swing motor, swing gearbox and rotary distributor in the well organized superstructure. The engine is accessible from three sides.
Easily accessed by walkways on both sides, the boom-mounted main valve block, a feature unique to Cat hydraulic mining shovels, provides a clean layout and reduces the number of hoses leading from the superstructure to the attachment.
Ensuring neat organization for safe operation, easy inspection and fast service, the design of our hydraulic system significantly reduces the total number of frequently moving hoses from the superstructure to the attachment.
Longer hose life via improved routing in accordance with MDG design standards.
Quick fuel and fluid replenishment is made easy with a retractable service station underneath the engine module, accessible at ground-level.
Twin-engine design facilitates troubleshooting of drive trains, as one engine can be compared to the other.
Sharing your commitment to safety, and driven by our commitment to Zero Harm, we work tirelessly to design the safest machines possible to protect your most important asset; your employees. That is why we updated the design of the 6090 FS in accordance with the principles of MDG 41 and 15, and offer this standard, not as an option or upgrade.
Some examples of the safety-enhancing features of the Cat 6090 FS hydraulic mining shovel includes the following:
All stairways have 45° angle for safe and comfortable access and movement about the machine.
Slide down emergency egress ladder directly adjacent to the operator's cab.
Hydraulically operated boarding ladder with emergency lowering via nitrogen accumulator ensures that ladder remains operational even when engines shut off.
Machine swing and propel capability is switched-off when ladder is in down position.
Improved routing and clamping of hydraulic hoses.
Hydraulic hoses and electric wiring are separated from each other for fire prevention.
All service areas are accessible via anti-slip walkways, and trip hazards eliminated.
Hot surfaces covered near service and maintenance areas to prevent burns.
Cabinet with battery isolation switch, mounted on top deck directly above the battery box, allows quick and easy shut-off of voltage on the entire shovel.
Cabinet contains a starter isolator which allows on-board voltage, but prevents starting of engines.
An easily accessible, standard shut-off switch located in the cab shuts down the electrical system in case of emergencies.
Additional shut-off switches are located on the machine, in the machine house or accessible from the ground with pull ropes.
Minimizing the potential for material spill on to the attachment or cab, the TriPower automatic roll-back limiter prevents the bucket from being curled back too far.
Delivering optimal performance, our pump managing system continuously evaluates actual engine and hydraulic operating values against set values, and adjusts pump output accordingly. This results in efficient use of the engine for greater productivity.
Pump managing system advantages include:
Best possible utilization of engine output and engine overload avoidance via electronic load limit regulation
Less energy consumption and less thermal load on hydraulic oil with zero oil flow regulation for main pumps
Less fuel consumption and lower noise emission via automatic RPM reduction
Reduced component wear and lower noise emission with automatic oil flow reduction for closing/opening of bucket clam
Protection of components with automatic oil flow reduction if hydraulic and/or engine coolant temperature exceed set maximum
Improved operator control response via on-demand pump flow
We understand that the most important factor in your hydraulic mining shovel's effectiveness is the performance of its operator. To help make their workday as productive as possible, we've incorporated safety and comfort features into the 6090 FS operator's cab.
Safety glass is used for all cab windows, and armored glass for the windshield.
Operator's seat is equipped with integrated safety switch that automatically neutralizes the hydraulic controls when the operator leaves the seat.
The height of the cab module ensures an eye level of approximately 8.8 m (28 ft 10 in), providing excellent visibility of the digging and loading areas.
Cab meets Falling Object Protection System (FOPS) as per ISO 10262:1998.
Pneumatically cushioned, multi-adjustable operator's seat.
Large, transflective color touch-screen display provides vital machine monitoring and diagnostic data for convenient troubleshooting and service assistance.
Enhanced control response and servo adjustment capability via electro-hydraulic servo control.
For full truck payloads with minimum loading time, an efficient loading/hauling system begins with an optimized equipment match. Cat hydraulic mining shovels are matched with Cat mining trucks to maximize volume of material moved at the lowest operating cost per ton.
Providing a more efficient means of cooling, particularly in demanding applications, our unique independent oil cooling system will extend the life of your hydraulic mining shovel's components.
Our system is independent of return oil, achieving efficiency through the utilization of dedicated pumps that provide cooling capacity as needed, whether the engine is idling or under load. That means optimum oil temperature is being maintained, even while your operator waits for the next truck to load. Competitive hydraulic mining shovels only provide cooling when the machine is working and the engine is under load.
Additional efficiency is achieved via our thermostatically controlled radiator fan speed. The fans do not run until oil temperature exceeds a temperature of 50° C (122° F), saving energy.
The highly efficient oil cooling system ensures that the oil temperature is only 25° C to 30° C (45° F to 54° F) higher than the ambient temperature. Thus the hydraulic oil working temperature remains within the optimal operating viscosity range of 50° C to 70° C (122° F to 158° F).
Ensuring neat organization for safe operation, easy inspection, and fast service, and reducing the number of hoses needed, the main valve block is located on top of the boom.
Faster cycle times are realized, because float valves are used to lower the boom instead of engaging pumps. This facilitates faster boom movements and allows other operating functions to occur simultaneously, such as bucket curl and stick in/out.
Your operators will experience greater control with our five circuit hydraulics, allowing for two cylinder motions, two travel motions, and swing to be controlled simultaneously.
To extend service life and ensure that your shovel keeps producing, our front shovel attachment structures are designed for durability and dependability. 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)
Help your team meet productivity and performance standards with our intuitive, informative on-board electronics.

Delivering faster cycle times and improved energy efficiency, while also generating less heat, our closed-loop swing circuit provides distinct advantages over competitive machines utilizing open-circuit swing systems.
Kinetic energy captured during the swing motion is fed back into the system during deceleration, providing more power to drive the main and auxiliary pumps. Energy is saved during deceleration, because braking occurs via counteracting controls, as opposed to throttles used in open circuit swing systems.
Energy is saved during acceleration via torque control, providing a pressure balance valve that controls the swing pump against pressure in the closed-loop swing circuit, ensuring that only the minimum necessary oil flow is utilized at any given time.
Faster boom lift motion during swing is achieved with our closed-loop swing system, increasing overall productivity.
