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.

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

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.

Hydraulic System
Easy Serviceability and Greater Productivity
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.
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.
9
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.
• 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
10
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.

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.
