It almost 1,650 horsepower, is capable of moving 33 tons (US) per pass, and can be configured to run as either a face shovel, or a backhoe. Fun fact: with an operating weight of 324 US tons, its weight is nearly equivalent to the typical 747 Airliner. This clip is the first of a three-part series focused on the 6030. Stay tuned to see the rest. | Caterpillar Demonstration and Learning Centers
