35 AGGREGATES MANAGER / July 2016 by Therese Dunphy | Editor-in-Chief | tdunphy@randallreilly.com SUPPLYLINES Digging Deep Excavator upgrades target efficient power use and faster cycle times. The new Cat 6015B Hydraulic Shovel is said to deliver a productivity advantage over other excavators in its size class thanks to the most powerful engine in its class, a large standard bucket, and payload capacity of 16.0 tons. The design translates to fast cycles and a pass match advantage over leading standard-equipped shovels in its class when loading trucks of 60-, 70-, and 100-ton capacities. The 6015B is equipped with a Cat C27 Acert engine that pro- vides 813 horsepower. The 10.6-cubic-yard standard bucket further boosts production capability. Caterpillar | www.cat.com Doosan says the 373-net-horsepower DX490LC-5 Tier 4-compliant crawler excavator has unmatched reliability and durability, making it perfect for quarry applications. With a bucket breakout force of 67,902 foot-pounds, the excavator is said to ensure precise digging capabilities even in the toughest digging conditions. Features include larger bushing in track rollers, thicker sprocket teeth, added reinforcement plates, and increased plate thickness to the excavator's boom and arm. Four power modes allow the excavator to better balance fuel consumption and ma- chine power to the working conditions, while four work modes maximize efficiency and fuel economy in specific applications.
