FAE Launches the RCU45 Ultra-compact Tracked Carrier

The ultra-compact FAE RCU45 remote-controlled tracked carrier was designed to help manage vegetation in hard-to-reach areas or on steeply sloping terrain that requires dependable equipment, ensuring operator safety and operating efficiency.

Built for municipal green areas or hilly wooded areas, its versatility and maneuverability make it a solution for work along railroad tracks, power lines, gas and oil pipelines, gardens, roads, highways, canals, rivers and lakes.

FAE GroupThis FAE tracked carrier is powered by the Yanmar common rail electronic fuel-injection engine — a powerful, fuel-efficient 44-hp propulsion system that complies with the most stringent emission standards. The heavy-duty undercarriage features an automatic rubber track tensioning system which operates under the most challenging conditions, guaranteeing unbeatable traction even on steep slopes of up to 55°. The dual hydrostatic transmission ensures sufficient power to the tracks and attachment simultaneously to maintain optimal performance. Electronically controlled piston pumps, combined with a dedicated electronic control unit, provide an integrated technological system. The result is high performance and reliability over time, plus simple and intuitive operation.

The FAE App, available for iPhones and Android smartphones, can be used to manage various settings for the RCU45. It also allows users to reposition the vehicle if the remote control cannot be used, to monitor data in real time, to run diagnostics in the event of any problems and to receive scheduled maintenance notifications.

FAE GroupThe RCU45 can be paired with two specialized FAE heads. The BL0/RCU forestry mulcher is able to mulch branches and wood up to 4 inches in diameter. It is equipped with a fixed-blade rotor and Bite Limiter technology that provides high output, even with less horsepower, due to the low power absorption. The PML/RCU head is a swinging hammer mulcher ideal for mulching grass and small shrubs up to 2 inches in diameter. Additionally, the RCU45 can be equipped with an electronically controlled winch with a 1.1-ton towing capacity.
