Remote controlled tracked carriers
RCU55

Compact, remote controlled tracked carrier.

The RCU55 is a compact FAE tracked carrier that shreds branches and wood pieces, grass, and small shrubs. It can also cuts stumps when outfitted with an SCL/RCU head. It is equipped with a 56-hp Kohler engine. The RCU55 can work on steep slopes up to 55°. The heavy-duty undercarriage features a hydraulic variable track system with independent undercarriage frames for maximum stability on steep terrain. The high-profile rubber tracks combined with the undercarriage’s multiple roller system provide unbeatable traction. The dual hydrostatic transmission makes it easier to manage traction and the attachment.
