The RCV is a vertical lift rubber track loader that excels at jobs
requiring higher lift height, longer reach and high flow hydraulics. The RCV’s innovative pivoting loader
linkage results in a near-vertical lift path, keeping the
load close to the machine throughout the lift cycle. This
maximizes the RCV’s 4,000-lb rated operating capacity, so
you can lift and place heavy loads yet still have reach at
full lift to center-load high-sided dump trucks or hoppers.
Quick Response, Fast
Cycle Times
The RCV provides a great combination of power and agility. It is
powered by the 86hp Perkins 1104C-44 N.A. diesel engine –
a 4.4 liter, 4-cylinder engine with high output, low emissions
and low sound. Machine weight has been carefully matched
to the horsepower rating. As a result you get exceptionally
quick response and fast cycle times. With Posi-Power
Control (PPC) an integral part of
the powertrain, you can work the RCV to its fullest potential
as it automatically shifts the hydrostat to match available
horsepower. It’s virtually impossible to stall the engine.
Intelligent Loader Design
The RCV is the first vertical-lift rubber track loader
with an intelligent loader design that allows exceptional
visibility to the rear, sides and forward of the machine.
The RCV comes standard with many timesaving features including
a hydraulic quick-attach, quick-connect hydraulic fittings
and selectable self-leveling.
Advanced Hydraulics
The RCV features the one of the most advanced hydraulic systems available.
Tracks are directly driven by single-speed drive motors,
with travel speeds up to 6 mph. The hydraulic system provides
up to 38 gpm to the standard high flow auxiliary circuit
on demand or 20 gpm to the low flow circuit. The RCV's load-sensing hydraulic
system is highly efficient, producing up to 10% more hydraulic horsepower
compared to less efficient systems. As a result, you get more done and
you get it done faster.
Advanced Rubber Track
Undercarriage
The
RCV was designed from the ground up to run on a suspended
rubber track undercarriage with no compromises to machine width, ground
clearance and machine balance. You get maximum traction and a smoother
ride. Forty-two wheeled contact points spread the machine
weight out over 18-inch wide rubber tracks, exerting only
3.4 psi ground pressure. With that much track on the ground,
you crawl over the most fragile ground with minimal surface
disturbance. You can also work productively in soft mud and
snow.
Smooth & Quiet Ride
No steel inside the tracks
means the RCV is smooth, quiet and very efficient.
The internal positive drive system uses hydrostatically-driven
sprockets with free-turning rollers to drive the track.
This unique system minimizes friction between drive components
and the track. As a result, travel speeds are much higher
than on systems with steel sprockets and rubber-bonded
steel tracks. Tracks and drive components last longer, too.
RCV tracks come with an exclusive 1,000 hour warranty.
Suspension of the undercarriage helps maximize contact
with the ground for better traction and stability. It also gives a much
smoother ride for the operator, improves load-retention and is easier
on the machine, too.
Comfortable Operation
The RCVs operator station has more features and built-in comfort
than ever before. New joystick controls have integrated hydraulic
and electric attachment controls for precise, low-effort
operation. A full spectrum of gauges and switches are conveniently
located for easy view and reach. Safety-related features
include full ROPS/ FOPS canopy, lap bar, comfortable seat
belt and brake. An enclosed cab with sound insulation is also available.
An air conditioner/heater option can be integrated into the operator
station with an automotive-like finish, eliminating exterior compressors
and space-robbing blowers.
Tilt-up Service Access
A tilt-up ROPS/FOPS canopy makes access to the hydraulic system quick
and easy. Service to the engine and cooling package is through a tilt-up
rear hood.
