CAT® NEXT GENERATION HYDRAULIC MINING SHOVELS
Next generation Cat® Hydraulic Mining Shovels will deliver significant benefits in terms of operator comfort and safety, productivity and efficiency, maintenance and support, technology and connectivity. But the one thing these updates all have in common is the philosophy behind their design: a focus on increasing the value they deliver to the mining operation.
Reliability is a key contributor to achieving that low-cost-per-ton performance. The most important outcome these shovels will deliver is the uptime mines need today and in the future.
