We understand the challenges you face, the importance of reliability, and the relationship between uptime and productivity. That’s why we continually strive to produce the safest, most reliable and productive hydraulic mining shovels possible. Offering the widest payload range of any manufacturer in the industry, the ability to optimally pair with our popular line of mining trucks, and the support of our world-class Cat® dealer network, we are uniquely positioned to partner with you to help achieve your productivity targets. We understand what matters to you. Our hydraulic mining shovels are built with you in mind. Because in mining, every day matters and every load counts.
Boost productivity with more constant revolutions per minute (rpm), less scheduled down time for refueling or engine maintenance, and consistent output at any altitude above sea level.
Improve reliability with an electric motor designed to last the life of the shovel and best-in-class accessibility to swing drives, pump drives, coupling and electric motor. Less downtime translates into higher profitability.
Reduce your carbon footprint and emit less heat with our closed-loop swing circuit and electric powered shovel. Electric energy(kW/hr) per working work is more efficient than diesel fuel (L/h), dramatically lowering your operating costs and helping to mine for a better world.
