(4) 3100 watt elements would draw about 52 amps. (4X3100/240) I would go with a 75 amp ssr and a good heat sink. This is about the limit for your 60 amp circuit.

If you're looking to run all elements simultaneously, then there is nothing special about doing this. Look up some of the wiring diagrams people have posted here.
