QSK60
™
For Tier 2 Mining ApplicATions
For Mining ApplicAtions.
Tough mining applications demand continuous uptime.
Whether it’s a front-end loader, excavator or 360-ton haul
truck, the best engine for the job is a QSK60. Its V16
configuration offers up to 2850 hp (2125 kW), to easily
handle high load factors. A projected life-to-overhaul of
1,000,000 gallons (3,785,414 liters) of fuel burned in
large haul trucks says everything you need to know about
durability and dependability. A sophisticated electronic
control system and extended maintenance features help
keep fuel economy up and operating costs down. So
whether you are spec’ing new equipment or repowering
an existing unit, the QSK60 is the best way to improve
performance, productivity and profits.
Full-authority electronic controls provide complete engine
control and monitoring that automatically adjust for
peak performance and fuel efficiency with full diagnostic
capability. Programmable parameters let you customize
engine performance to match equipment application,
resulting in lower cost-per-ton performance. And
Quantum System technology includes Advanced Engine
Monitoring, a standard feature on all mining engines, that
lets you monitor equipment performance on the job in real
time, cylinder by cylinder.

noise and vibration. Full-authority electronic control
engIne Type
of injection timing enables a new level of combustion
efficiency, reducing NOx emissions by 40% and
particulate matter by 60% to meet Tier 2 standards. A
higher degree of combustion control combined with fuel
injection precision also allows these engines to handle
increasing load demands more rapidly.

A continuous source of high-pressure fuel regardless
of engine speed allows this advanced fuel system to
perform multiple injection events during each power
stroke, reducing noise by 80% at idle and delivering
smoother, more consistent power at every rpm.
