Diesel engine for mining applications
max. 2 700 HP | QSK60 Cummins Engines

The QSK60 engine was developed for mining and designed based upon the strength, performance and durability of the legendary Cummins K2000E. With thousands of engines installed by nearly every major mining equipment manufacturer, you can be sure to find a QSK60 operating reliably in every corner of the world. This is because these engines have a lower operating cost per ton with better reliability than other mining engines of their size. Whether you're powering a large excavator, loader or haul truck, you can expect exceptional fuel economy for years to come with an absolute minimum of downtime. In fact, QSK60 engines routinely achieve over 95% uptime in mining operations with load factors exceeding 40%. Plus, even Cummins engines with non-certified emissions ratings generate clean power at former EPA Tier 1 levels.

The 16-cylinder QSK60 is available with single-stage turbocharging or a two-stage version for high-altitude and high load-factor applications, and is capable of delivering up to 2700 hp (2013 kW) at 12,000-foot (3,658-meter) elevations without power derate.

Quantum System technology includes Advanced Engine Monitoring that allows you to better monitor equipment performance cylinder by cylinder on a real time basis. It also provides trending chart capability for informed preventive maintenance to maximize operation and reduce downtime.
