Increased Ground-Contact Area

Sept. 28, 2010

ASV says its RC-100 All Surface Loader is the first rubber-tracked loader to combine high flow, high speed, high lift, high torque and high horsepower in one machine. It runs on a suspended rubber-track undercarriage, which has 42 wheeled contact points to increase ground-contact area. Compare this to the traditional skid-steer loader, which typically has four contact points. Two-speed drive motors directly drive the tracks with travel speeds up to 10 mph. The hydraulic system provides up to 35 gpm to the standard high-flow auxiliary circuit on demand or 20 gpm to the low-flow circuit. Estimated list price: $49,000.
