New UML/S/EX mulcher

Land clearing and construction attachment manufacturer 8067 FAE, has added to its UML range of excavator-mounted forestry mulchers and introduced eight rock cutters to its construction line-up at this year’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG show in Las Vegas.

The UML/S/EX forestry mulcher is designed for excavators in the 20-25 tonne class and fills a hole in the company’s line-up. Available in 1,346mm and 1,75mm operating widths, the two attachments can handle maximum tree diameters of 300mm.

FAE’s RC range of rock cutters is a new departure for the attachment firm’s construction division. There are eight models on offer, from the RC25 - which is suitable for excavators of 2.5 tonnes operating weight - to the RC320 which is suitable for excavators from 45-70 tonnes. Working widths range from 558mm to 1,245mm and the cutters use direct drive piston motors with automatic lubrication systems that require no daily maintenance.

New line of versatile attachments from Epiroc

A new line of versatile hydraulic attachment tools is being offered by Epiroc. The firm has added three new ranges: ERC transverse drum cutters with integrated hydraulic rotation; ER-L axial drum cutters; and ADU auger drive units based on Erkat drum cutter technology. With models suitable for carriers in most weight classes, these attachments are said to offer reliability and productivity for a wide range of excavation and demolition tasks. The ER range of transverse drum cutters replaces Epiroc's prov

Hyundai CEA’s pride in machine line-up

FAE’s RCU-75 tracked carrier comes with remote control and powerful 2.4 GHz comms

The RCU-75 can mulch vegetation up to 15cm in diameter using FAE’s BL2/RCU mulcher head. This has been designed to mulch vegetation up to 153mm in diameter. Importantly, the RCU-75 can work on inclines of up to 55 degrees without fear of sideslipping. Slopes as steep as these can be a problem for lighter and less robust tracked carriers, says FAE.

Meanwhile, the heavy-duty undercarriage features a hydraulic extendable and retractable independent track gauge system and an automatic tensioning system. Thanks to high profile rubber tracks, which are 86mm pitch and 330mm in width, oscillating rollers, and triple-flange style idlers, the RCU-75 can operate in the toughest of conditions.

A dual hydrostatic transmission provides better traction and optimal management of the attachments.

This new FAE tracked carrier is powered by a Kohler Common Rail electronic fuel injection engine, a compact, powerful, and fuel-efficient 55kW propulsion system that complies with the most stringent emission standards.

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 a simple and intuitive operation.

All this makes the RCU-75 excellent for working in hilly wooded areas, near railroad tracks, power lines, gas and oil pipelines, gardens, roadsides, highways, canals, rivers, and lakes, says the Italian manufacturer.
