We carry the full line of new electric rope shovels for your mine site and production needs. These machines are made to perform in challenging sites, from large-scale open-pit mines to quarries where millions of tons of material need to be moved.
Machines have an operating life of 120,000 hours, and components are designed and tested for a service interval of 3,000 hours. This means you get a reliable machine for years of work, whether you are digging heavy clay, hard rock or dense aggregates.
The foundational Cat 7495 electric rope shovel features an immense payload capability and key innovations to minimize maintenance and downtime. The LatchFree™ Dipper System replaces traditional latch assemblies to maximize uptime, and the Third Rail Swing System is designed to extend component life.
The 7495 can be customized with various dipper types and crowd options, letting you tailor the shovel to your pit — whether you’re stripping overburden or working selective ore. It is available in two configurations:
The 7495 HD electric rope shovel is a smaller variant in this equipment line. It is optimized for heavy-duty applications and efficient truck loading in mines needing a more compact footprint without sacrificing reliability. It features AC IGBT electronics for improved uptime, making it an ideal choice for operations focused on seamless material transfer.
The 7495 HF electric rope shovel is a high-flotation model for soft or shifting terrain. Its enhanced undercarriage is designed to distribute the machine’s operating weight, lowering ground pressure. The result in the field is superior mobility and performance, where other shovels struggle.
This model is available in HydraCrowd configurations. This variant eliminates the need for routine rope changes and increases uptime in demanding, soft-ground applications.
