FAE's new RPL/SSL/DT Road Planer

FAE has expanded its range of road planers for skid-steers with a new line-up measuring up to 150cm wide with dual transmission: the RPL/SSL/DT. The new RPL/SSL/DT uses cold planing technology, just like the other products in this FAE line. The road surface is scraped and cut by the impact of special teeth that are attached to the rotor and with a layout that was specifically designed by FAE to improve performance and reduce vibration. The RPL/SSL can be used for road preparation for resurfacing roads before applying a new layer of asphalt or concrete or to simplify excavation operations.

The RPL/SSL/DT, compatible with 90hp to 135hp skid-steers, can scarify and mill down to 14cm deep. The head comes standard with state-of-the-art technological features. The combination of self-leveling skids and tilt ensures optimal results even on uneven surfaces. The hydraulic drive system – which makes it possible to work right up against a wall or curb on the right or left – as well as cutting depth indicators, guarantee operational precision.

The dual transmission guarantees optimal power supply and distribution across the entire width of the rotor, says its maker. The RPL/SSL/DT’s standard hydraulic and electrical equipment make it ideal for ‘plug and play’ pairing with the leading skid-steers on the market. The line is completed with teeth specifically designed for asphalt and concrete road surfaces.

The new 100cm and 125cm heads are available now, and the 150cm model will be available in the latter half of 2023.
