Meeting Your Site Specific Needs with a Choice of Robust Drive System Options

Giving you the option to choose the drive system best suited for your operation, the Cat 6050/6050 FS can be equipped with either two diesel engines for greater mobility, or an electric drive for better efficiency.

Reliable Diesel Engines

Delivering durable, reliable power that will keep your 6050/6050 FS producing, the diesel engines currently in use were developed for mining and routinely achieve high uptime in mining applications. Two different engine models are available; one for countries with more regulated emissions, and another for countries with less regulated emissions.

Efficient Electric Drive System on 6050 AC/6050 AC FS

Providing a lower cost-per-ton alternative to diesel powered hydraulic mining shovels, our electric drive option maintains the ruggedness you need and offers superior availability since no refueling and less service is required. The 6050 AC/6050 AC FS is the ideal solution for operations that do not require a great deal of mobility and value a low cost-per-ton model.

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.
