FAE is expanding the applications for its RCU75 remote-controlled tracked carrier.
The company has developed a universal attachment plate, which makes the RCU75 compatible with a range of equipment that was previously exclusive to compact loaders.
This universal attachment plate allows FAE’s RCU75 to be equipped not only with FAE attachments — such as forestry mulchers, swinging hammer mulchers, stump cutters, stone crushers and road planers — but also with third-party equipment designed for skid steers, such as chippers, sprayers, forestry winches, sweepers, mixing buckets, lifting forks, dozing blades, disc trimmers and trenchers.
FAE created the RCU75 to work in hard-to-reach areas or on steep, sloping terrain where operator safety and operating efficiency are a concern. This vehicle is ideal for working in hilly and wooded areas and near railroad tracks, power lines, gas and oil pipelines, gardens, roads, highways, canals, rivers and lakes.
The FAE tracked carrier relies on the compact Rehlko 74 hp common rail electronic fuel injection engine, a fuel-efficient option that complies with the most stringent emission standards.
Variable hydraulic design
The heavy-duty undercarriage has a variable hydraulic design with independent rollers and an automatic tensioning system. High profile rubber tracks, with 86 mm spacing and 320 mm width, and idler wheels, enable the RCU75 to handle challenging conditions.
High-tech solutions give the RCU75 impressive traction, making it possible to work on steep slopes up to 55 degrees.
As well, a steel track option is available, ensuring outstanding traction on particularly challenging terrain.
To maintain performance while using the tracks and the attachment simultaneously, the RCU75 makes use of a dual hydrostatic transmission. This integrated technological system consists of electronically controlled piston pumps combined with a dedicated electronic control unit.

The result is high performance, plus simple and intuitive operation. The RCU75 is operated using a remote control, with a large 11-cm display and customizable function keys for superior management of all vehicle and head functions.
A 2.4 GHz transmission frequency ensures reliable communication. Optimally laid out and comprehensive controls, together with a balanced shoulder strap, make the FAE remote control unit ergonomic and easy to use.
The FAE RCU75 can be paired with the FAE app, allowing access to real time operational data, diagnostic notifications, and scheduled maintenance indications on your smartphone.
The RCU75 will not be the only product to benefit from the new universal attachment plate option. The plate will also be available for FAE’s most powerful remote-controlled tracked carrier: the RCU120.
