Cat® Electric Rope Shovels

Electric rope shovels offer the lowest cost-per-ton loading solution for long-life mines. They can load more material – more efficiently and more cost-effectively – than any other loading tool on the market. The electric rope shovel’s immense payload capability, low maintenance requirements, and high reliability make it Caterpillar’s lowest total-cost-per-unit loading tool available.

High Reliability, Low Maintenance and Long Life

Cat® Electric Rope Shovels are designed to have an operating life of 120,000 hours, making them a viable option for mines with estimated lives that meet or exceed a timeframe of 20 years.

Industry-leading safety features of the electric rope shovel protect your most valuable asset, your people, keeping operations running consistently.

Availability is crucial to your operation, so we use a continuous improvement process to re-design and re-engineer machine components and systems to achieve optimal results.

Based on your feedback, we constantly strive to make your electric rope shovel even more productive, easier to service and maintain, and operating at maximum efficiency to reduce your total cost of ownership.

Your mine has unique conditions and requires the right solutions to operate. The Cat 7495 has a 120-ton (109-tonne) dipper payload offering the most advanced electrics in the industry, along with a best-in-class operator's cab, a robust front-end and dippers to suit any application. It pairs with the Cat ultra-class series trucks 793, 794-796-798 and 797 mining trucks for three- and four-pass loading capability.

7495 HF - High-Floatation Undercarriage

The Cat 7495 HF offers all the same industry-leading features as the 7495, including a best-in-class operator's cab and a robust front end, but is configured with a high-flotation undercarriage designed specifically for oil sands mining applications where low ground-bearing pressure is required. Consistent with the standard 7495, the HF configuration provides a maximum payload capacity of 120 tons (109 tonnes) and pairs well with the Cat 793, 794-796-798 and 797 mining trucks for three- and four-pass loading capability.

7495 HD

Providing proven Cat AC IGBT electrics and a robust front end design, the 7495 HD offers a payload of 90 tons (82 tonnes), providing three- and four-pass loading capability with both Cat 793/795 and MT4400D AC/794 mining trucks for an optimal loading and hauling operation. This powerful and reliable machine has a proven record of high productivity and high reliability.

7395 and 7295

Our mid-range shovels, the Cat 7395 & 7295 provide proven Cat AC IGBT electrics and a robust front end design.
