caterpillar's new hydraulic
mining shovel
In nOVeMBer, caterpillar Inc. [CAT-NYSE] announced the suc-
cessful completion of the field testing of the Cat® 6020B Hydraulic
Mining Shovel.
The 6020B, says Caterpillar, is designed for simplicity and reli-
ability without compromising safety. "Voice-of-customer drove
the requirements of the machine. Every decision, every design
detail was based on the hundreds of comments we received during
our customer research," explains Anita Russwurm, New Product
Introduction Manager for the 6020B. "While reviewing this cus-
tomer input, three common themes emerged. Customers wanted a
machine that is safe, simple and reliable. That's what we designed
and what can be seen throughout the machine."
The new, state-of-the-art, three-seat cab is the first in this size
class of shovels. The two additional seats are useful for training and
observation purposes. A large floor window, windshield and side
windows allow for unrestricted lines of sight.
