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 ratings
