 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 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.

Drive System
Balanced Combination of Power and Efficiency

Reliable Diesel Engines

Two 60 L (3,700 in³) diesel engines deliver reliable power and torque, making the 6090 FS both agile and productive. Developed for
mining, these engines deliver high uptime in demanding applications. Combining their low fuel consumption with the sophisticated
Cat hydraulic system, the outstanding fuel efficiency of the 6090 FS directly contributes to lowering the cost per tonne or cubic
meter moved.

 Twin-engine Concept
Stay Up and Running More Consistently

Keep Producing and Ensure the Safety of Your Operators, Even During Single Engine Loss
You will realize enhanced safety, greater uptime, more productivity, and better serviceability as a result of our twin engine concept.

• Enhanced Safety
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.

• Greater Uptime 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., pressure-free), and to recuperate
energy via its closed-loop swing circuit.

• Better Serviceability
Troubleshooting is greatly simplified and expedited with the ability to compare one engine versus the other.

5
TriPower System
Superior Digging Capability and Bucket Fill Factors

6
 Dig More Effectively with Our Unique
TriPower Front Shovel Design
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.

• Quicker Cycle Times

–Faster lifting speeds are achieved, because the design enables the use

of smaller-diameter boom cylinders.

• Increased Effective Lifting Force

–Design transfers digging forces into the superstructure, creating supporting
boom momentum in addition to momentum that is generated hydraulically.

• Constant Boom Momentum

–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.

• Automatic Constant Bucket Angle

–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.

• Automatic Roll-Back Limiter

–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.

7
Hydraulic System
Easy Serviceability and Greater Productivity

Straightforward, Safe System Maintenance

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

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.

Greater Control
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.

8
Protect and Extend the Life of Your Hydraulic Components and Seals
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.

More Efficient Oil Cooling

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.

Optimal Oil Temperature Maintained

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).

Independent Oil Cooling System

More Effective Oil Cooling for Extended Component Life

 Experience Improved Machine Control and Component Life, while Reducing Fuel Consumption
and Noise Emission, with Our Intelligent Pump Managing System
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

 Closed-loop Swing Circuit
More Efficient Energy Use and
Faster Boom Lift Motion During Swing

Load More Material, at Lower Cost, with the Energy Recovery Capability of Our Closed-Loop Swing System
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.

Greater Efficiency Via Energy Recovery

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 Savings During Acceleration

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 Cycle Times

Faster boom lift motion during swing is achieved with our closed-loop swing system, increasing overall productivity.

Operator’s Cab
Ensuring the Safety and
Comfort of Your Operators

Get Peak Operator Performance with Our Safe and Comfortable Operator’s Cab
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.
