CAT C27 Diesel Engine Used For Hydraulic Mining Shovels 6015 For Sale

Overview of the CAT C27 Engine

TheCAT C27 engine is a proven heavy-duty power solution widely used in mining trucks, drilling rigs, power-generation units, and oilfield equipment. Built on the ACERT combustion platform, this model—also known as the CAT C27 ACERT engine—delivers excellent fuel efficiency, stability, and long-term operational reliability.
Companies looking for durable industrial power systems often compare CAT C27 engine specs, especially for harsh environments such as African mining, Middle East drilling, and Australian power-generation sites.

Key Features & Technical Performance

The C27 uses electronically controlled high-pressure common-rail injection, producing ultra-fine fuel particles under 5 microns for efficient combustion. Its turbocharged and aftercooled design increases air density by 15%, while the VGT turbo helps maintain low fuel consumption in the 1200–1800 rpm operating range.
For buyers evaluating C27 engine for sale options, the model offers:
1.8–12% improved fuel economy over the previous C18
2.Strong torque output in mid-range RPM
3.Lower operating cost per kWh
4.Excellent cold-start reliability
Details on power output, torque curve, and emissions can be found in the CAT C27 engine manual or the CAT C27 engine parts manual.

Engine Displacement & Core Structure

The CAT C27 engine displacement is engineered to deliver high cylinder efficiency and stable operating temperatures. Its forged-steel crankshaft and plasma-coated liners support continuous operation up to 30,000 hours before major overhaul.
This design ensures long-term structural strength for customers using the engine in 24/7 applications such as:
1.Mining haul trucks
2.Diesel generator sets
3.Drilling & well-service equipment
4.Marine auxiliary systems

Maintenance & Lifecycle Cost Advantages

The C27 offers significantly lower lifetime operating costs due to:
1.500-hour oil-change intervals
2.Quick-access spin-on filters
3.40% faster service time
4.Lower wear rate under continuous load
Many buyers consider the CAT C27 engine price justified due to its strong resale value—retaining 65–70% after five years of operation.

Environmental Compliance

The engine meets EU Stage V and EPA Tier 4 Final standards through a DOC + DPF + SCR after-treatment system. Urea consumption is maintained at 3–5%, making it suitable for markets requiring strict emission compliance.

How much horsepower does a Cat C27 have?

The Caterpillar C27 engine assembly is considered the “heart” of the CAT 992D wheel loader, delivering continuous, powerful energy to the entire machine. With an impressive 900 horsepower, it can easily handle heavy-duty and high-intensity operations.
Whether it’s moving large loads of ore in mining sites or pushing massive amounts of earth and rock on major construction projects, the C27 provides more than enough power to keep the loader working smoothly. Its strong performance significantly boosts the overall efficiency and productivity of the 992D machine.

Engine Applications

In the marine sector, a coastal tugboat that upgraded to the Caterpillar C27 engine cut its annual fuel costs by 39396 USD after operating about 2,000 hours per year. The investment paid for itself in just 1.4 years.
In generator-set applications, even though diesel fuel is more expensive than natural gas, the C27 still delivers lower overall energy costs. This is mainly due to its fast start-up capability (able to take load within 30 seconds) and its 45% combined heat and power efficiency, resulting in a 19% reduction in total energy expenses.

Mining operations show similar benefits. Based on real data from a mine fleet:
Ten haul trucks equipped with the C27 engine (rated at 597 kW) each operate around 6,000 hours per year, consuming about 142 tons of fuel annually (calculated at 195 g/kWh).
Compared with competitor engines that consume around 210 g/kWh, each truck saves 23 tons of fuel per year.
With diesel priced at 1.05 USD per liter (about 1196USD per ton), this equals an annual savings of 27507 USD per truck.
Over the engine’s 10-year lifecycle, a single machine can save up to 274371 USD, which is 1.8 times the initial engine purchase cost.

Overall, the C27 engine achieves a strong balance between fuel efficiency and economic performance through advanced technology. Users benefit not only from direct fuel savings, but also from improved reliability, easier maintenance, and stronger asset value retention. As global carbon-reduction requirements continue to increase, the C27’s high efficiency and cleaner operation will keep delivering long-term value, making it a benchmark power solution in the mid-range engine segment.
