FAE is expanding its RCU series with a new ‘compact, professional and powerful, remote-controlled’ tracked carrier.
The RCU-75 is designed to work on hard-to-access areas and steeply sloping terrain that requires dedicated equipment to ensure operator safety and operating efficiency. It’s excellent for working in hilly, wooded areas, near railway tracks, power lines, gas and oil pipelines, gardens, roadsides, highways, canals, rivers and lakes, FAE says.
Powered by the Kohler Common Rail electronic fuel injection engine – a compact, powerful and fuel-efficient 74 hp propulsion system – it complies with the most stringent emission standards.
The heavy-duty undercarriage features a hydraulic extendable and retractable independent track gauge system and an automatic tensioning system. Thanks to high-profile rubber tracks – 86 mm pitch and 13” width – oscillating rollers and triple-flange style idlers, it can operate in the toughest conditions. High-tech solutions give the RCU unbeatable traction, FAE says, enabling it to work on steep slopes of up to 55 degrees.
Moreover, the steel track undercarriage version provides great traction even on the most difficult terrain.
A dual hydrostatic transmission provides better traction and optimal management of the attachment.
The RCU range – which will also include the RCU-50 – will be available in 2023.
