Terramac launched its newest crawler carrier, the RT14R. Equipped with unique rotational functionality, RT14R allows operators to offload materials in a more efficient, precise and safe manner than ever before.

Manufactured in the USA, the RT14R is built with a rugged upper frame that rotates a full 360 degrees. RT14R can carry and dump up to 28,000-lbs. of material at any position, even while driving.

This feature allows the RT14R to offload materials faster than a standard straight frame unit since the tracks don't need to be counter rotated to drive another direction. Environmental damage and land restoration costs are also minimized as the RT14R dumps material without tearing up the surrounding ground.

The 40,000-lbs. machine is powered by a QSL9.0 320-hp Tier 4 Final Cummins diesel engine (non DPF), boosting jobsite productivity while remaining highly fuel efficient, regardless of the application.

In addition, the new unit showcases Terramac's rubber track technology; a minimal 7.9-psi ground pressure while fully-loaded allows it to conquer soft or wet ground conditions and mountainous terrain where wheeled machines are likely to create ruts and get stuck.

Low ground pressure and rotating functionality make the RT14R ideal for work in confined spaces and environmentally sensitive areas. To learn more, visit www.terramac.com.

"The RT14R is a natural evolution of Terramac's product line and we are excited to bring it to the market," said Andrew Konopka, president. "This new model provides contractors with a solution to tackle a range of applications while improving efficiency and cost savings."
