New FAE RPL/EX road planer for excavators

FAE is expanding its Construction line with the RPL/EX road planer for excavators. Using ‘cold planer’ technology, the road's surface is scraped and cut by the impact of special teeth attached to the rotor. The RPL/EX has a specially designed layout to increase performance and reduce vibration. With these features, FAE says its RPL/EX is the perfect tool to prepare roads for resurfacing or to simplify excavation operations.

The RPL/EX is compatible with excavators from 8 to 14 tons, can mill up to 13.5cm deep, and has a width of 45cm. The head comes standard with what FAE calls state-of-the-art technological and structural features. These include an adjustable hydraulic base that allows you to manage the machine’s working depth with precision, a wide-stroke self-leveling system that allows you to keep the head properly aligned while in operation, and an adjustable right skid that allows the operator to keep the head aligned in overlaps. It also has specially designed teeth specifically for use on asphalt and concrete road surfaces.
