FS
Features

Substantially larger than any other available

hydraulic mining shovel, the 6090 FS offers a
versatile and selective digging capable alternative
to electric rope shovels. Having garnered more
than a decade of field experience in varying
applications and climates, we have refined the
design for improved reliability and productivity,
substantiated by a greater than 100% increase in
6090 FS orders over the past two years. When paired
with our ultra-class line of Cat ® mining trucks, you
can load up to 9000 tonnes (9,900 tons) of
material per hour.

 Every
Day
Matters,

Every
Load
Counts

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

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

to

to
a

for

away
from

and
More
Productivity

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.,

and
to
recuperate

energy via

our

–Faster

enables

use

of smaller-diameter

•
Increased

Force

–Design
transfers

•
Constant
Boom
Momentum

–Allows

for

speed.

–Keeps

constant.

–Enables
the
shovel
to
lift
a
single
load
along
the
entire
digging
distance.

–No
retracting
of

cylinders
is
required,
ensuring
that

hydraulic

pumps
are
supplying
the
boom-up
function.

•
Automatic
Constant
Bucket
Angle

–Material
spillage
is
avoided
during
boom
lifting,
because
the
illed
bucket

automatically
maintains
a
constant
bucket
angle.

–On
conventional
kinematics
the
operator
has
to
control
manually
the

bucket position
during
lifting
which
cut
in

of

Components
and
Seals

Providing
a

means
of
cooling,
particularly
in
demanding
applications,
our
unique
independent
oil
cooling
system

will extend
the
life
of
your
hydraulic

shovel’s
components.

More
Efficient
Oil
Cooling

Our
system
is
independent
of
return
oil,
achieving
eficiency
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
eficiency
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.

Optimal
Oil
Temperature
Maintained

The
highly
eficient
oil
cooling
system
ensures
that
the
oil
temperature
is
only
25°
C
to
30°
C
(45°
F
to
54° F)
higher
than

Thus
the
