Overview
The Cat® 6040 is proven and trusted on sites all over the world, with more than 200 currently in operation. It’s known for high performance and high reliability — and now, it’s getting even better. The next generation 6040 is packed with new features, upgrades and enhancements designed to make it more productive, more efficient, safer, easier to operate, simpler to maintain and more.
It’s powered by two updated Cat C32B engines, delivering even greater performance and reliability without sacrificing fuel efficiency. Its heavy-duty undercarriage provides long life in tough conditions, reducing costs and keeping your machine hard at work.
A brand-new, state-of-the-art cab gives operators better control of the machine while keeping them safe and comfortable all shift long. Our patented three-seat design makes training and observing new operators easier than ever. And new safety features help everyone working in, on or around the 6040 get home safely every day.
