Caterpillar 6060: Air Intakes, Blankets / Thermal Insulations, Exhaust Systems and Sound Attenuation

Is your Caterpillar 6060 hydraulic mining shovel looking a little worse for wear? Perhaps you have noticed some components deteriorating over time, thus negatively impacting its overall performance? Whatever the case, the team at Mammoth Equipment have a selection of air intake, thermal insulation, exhaust system and sound attenuation upgrades available for you to explore.

These world-class upgrades are custom-designed for the Caterpillar 6060 model and can help you keep your machinery operating optimally for longer – even in the most demanding of mining conditions.


Caterpillar 6060 Air Intakes

The stock air intake system works tirelessly in harsh conditions on Cat 6050 excavators. Over time, components will deteriorate and restrict airflow, reducing efficiency.

  • Our heavy-duty upgrades feature premium-grade filtration media that captures 99% of fine dust and debris.
  • Larger-diameter tubing maintains optimal airflow even when filters are blocked.
  • Quick-release couplers permit swift filter changes, lowering downtime.
  • Computational fluid dynamics optimization improves airflow and maximises torque and power.


Caterpillar 6060 Blankets / Thermal Insulations

Shielding the 6060's engine compartments and hot surfaces from heat damage helps prolong component life. Mammoth’s thermal covers are purpose built and designed to reduce touch surfaces by up to 80%.

  • A hydrophobic silicon outer layer helps to prevent flammable fluid absorption.
  • Hot facing materials proven to have no combustion point make our thermal covers the safest in the industry.
  • These are the most tried and tested thermal covers for mining equipment the world over.

Caterpillar 6060 Exhaust Systems

Mammoth's direct fit exhaust systems for the CAT 6060 are guaranteed to fit your existing brackets and are built to last (often outlasting OEM parts). 

  • Enjoy our Easy Part Number cross referencing system (OEM # and Mammoth Part #).
  • Request custom drawings with material # labelling services.
  • All parts are ‘direct fit replacement’, slotting into existing bracketry effortlessly.


Caterpillar 6060 Sound Attenuation

Prolonged exposure to excessive noise poses greater health risks to on-site mining personnel. Additionally, it can cause a lot of disruption for neighbouring communities. Fortunately, with our sound attenuation solutions, you can significantly reduce the amount of noise coming directly from the source.

  •  Staged attenuation solutions are designed to meet any and all noise boundary requirements.
  • Maintenance-friendly designs provide a focus on increased effectiveness, simplicity, and ease of accessibility.
  • Low back pressure systems are designed to decrease mechanical stress on the engine itself and its related components.


In summary, our Cat 6060 upgrades maximise efficiency, prolong component life, lower costs and most importantly, improve safety.
