FAE is expanding its construction line for excavators with the RPL/HY road planer for 5-ton to 8-ton machines.
The new road planer is based on FAE’s cold planer technology. Using cold planer tech, the road’s surface is scraped and cut by teeth arranged along a rapid spinning rotor. The RPL/HY has a specially designed layout to reduce vibration and increase performance.
The RPL/HY can mill up to 11.5 cm deep, and has a working width of 30 cm. The head comes standard with several new tech and structural features. For example, the RPL/HY allows the operator to manually adjust the working depth, and its wide-stroke self-levelling system allows them to maintain proper head alignment during operation.
The product line includes special teeth designed for different road surfaces: R/44/A for asphalt and R/44/C for concrete.
The unique rotor design and tooth layout allows FAE road planers to penetrate easily, maintaining the desired depth and producing a finer product.

The new RPL/HY joins the RPL/EX for 8-ton to 14 ton-excavators, to further expand FAE’s line of construction products.
With a range of more than 90 products and 400 models, FAE’s range of heads includes forestry mulchers, cutters, stump cutters, stone crushers, soil stabilizers, road planers, wheel saws and multitasks. Its line of tracked carriers includes tracked carriers with cabs and remote-controlled tracked carriers.
FAE expands
In the last few years FAE has been expanding its construction attachment line, taking the industry knowledge and understanding gained through the success of its PTO units and transferring it over to the hydraulic line. This line includes such attachments as cold planers for skid steers, cold planers for excavators and a wheel saw for skid steers.
“The experience has been there for years, so we only needed to transfer that experience into the hydraulic version,” said FAE President Diego Scanzoni.
“We saw the opportunities in the hydraulic construction attachment space thanks to the broad experience and success we have had with the PTO lines. The equipment is essentially proven and solid. Our next step is to work on building brand recognition on the hydraulic side of the market.”
