FAE’s RCU120 remote-controlled tracked carrier is designed to work in hard-to-reach areas or on steeply sloping terrain where operator safety is a concern. Its dual hydraulic system and extendable tracks provide high productivity and efficiency in hilly and wooded areas and near railroad tracks, power lines, gas and oil pipelines, gardens, roads, highways, canals, rivers and lakes. The RCU120 is the first FAE compact remote-controlled tracked carrier to be outfitted with a Sonic technology-integrated forestry mulcher. This exclusive FAE technology allows for better management of equipment performance, for a productivity increase of up to 30%. This new FAE tracked carrier relies on the powerful Rehlko (Kohler) 89.5kW common rail electronic fuel injection engine: fuel-efficient and compliant with the most stringent emission standards.
Its heavy-duty undercarriage has a variable hydraulic design with independent rollers and an automatic tensioning system. Thanks to its high-profile rubber tracks with nearly 84mm spacing and 320mm width, the RCU120 can handle even the most challenging conditions. High-tech solutions give the carrier unbeatable traction, making it possible to work on steep slopes up to 55°. In addition, a steel-track option is available, which ensures outstanding traction on particularly challenging terrain.
The dual hydrostatic transmission of the RCU120 makes it easier to manage traction and the attachment simultaneously. Electronically controlled piston pumps combined with a dedicated electronic control unit provide an integrated technological system. The result is high performance and reliability that lasts, plus simple and intuitive operation.
The RCU120 is controlled with a wireless remote, with a large 4.3-inch (109mm) display for superior management of all vehicle and head functions and customisable function keys. A 2.4GHz transmission frequency ensures reliable communication, while an optimal, comprehensive control layout and a balanced shoulder strap make the FAE remote-control unit ergonomic and easy to use.
