COMFORTABLE

Cab designed with total operator comfort and safety in mind. Pressurized Cat. 2 certified ROPS/FOPS/OPS, industry benchmark. High Lexan™ windows. Ergonomic joysticks. Pneumatic seat. 10” touch screen to control all operating functions. 360° camera system and dedicated display.

VERSATILE

Perfect for working in large woods or forests or along oil and gas pipelines. It can be hooked up to a forestry mulcher or a multitask head for crushing stones and tilling soil, which can also be combined with the Floating System function to ensure the unit always follows the ground’s contours closely and the Load Control function for optimal operating power management.

  • The engine of the FAE PT550 is a guarantee of strength, reliability and global service
    AN ENGINE THAT’S ALWAYS READY TO GO

    The Caterpillar C13 six-cylinder engine in the FAE PT550 guarantees strength, reliability and global support. Equipped with a turbocharger with after cooler and Acert technology, the Tier 3 Final/Stage III version of this engine delivers a full 536 hp. Efficient, powerful, with superb consumption/power ratio. Compliance with the Tier 3 Final/Stage III standard is guaranteed with the combination of diesel particulate filter (DPF), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) technologies. 
    The large, 12.5-liter displacement and a cooling system designed specifically for the FAE PT550 ensure that both configurations offer peak performance in heavyduty applications and when working in tropical climes.

  • Efficient and reliable transmission | FAE
    EFFICIENT, RELIABLE TRANSMISSION

    The transmissions designed for the FAE PT550 are based on two fundamental concepts: technology and integration. Electronically controlled pumps and sensors and a dedicated control unit, working together to deliver maximum performance. The systems are designed to enable the CAT C13B engine to operate at optimal rpms at all times.
    The FAE PT550’s hydrostatic transmission also serves to dampen operating loads. This ensures that the carrier and its key components are subjected to less stress, reducing wear and tear. The end result is greater durability than a mechanical transmission. The PT550 can be equipped with Active Power Management, an intelligent FAE system that automatically manages vehicle advancement in relation to the force absorbed by the rotor. This feature also helps the machine automatically adapt to the contour of the terrain. The operator can now concentrate on the job at hand, for higher productivity. An added benefit of the FAE PT550’s hydrostatic transmission is its ability to accommodate a wide variety of FAE equipment: forestry mulchers, stump cutters or the multitask head for crushing stone and tilling soil.

  • Cat2 ROPS-FOPS-OPS certified pressurized cabin | FAE
    A SERIOUSLY COMFORTABLE CAB

    The cab of the FAE PT550 is designed for those who work in extreme conditions. It is ergonomic, soundproof and guarantees optimal visibility, making it an industry benchmark. Joysticks built into the pneumatic suspension seat allow for easy, precise operation of the PT550. The controls on the side console are distributed to make them user friendly, and the 10” color display keeps the essential carrier parameters in view at all times. ROPS/FOPS/OPS certification meets the highest standards of operator safety, even in the most demanding applications. Cat. 2 certification guarantees optimal internal cab pressure.

    The air conditioning system vents located throughout the cabin provide all the comfort the operator needs, in hot or cold weather. An optional cabin pressurization system is also available.
    The large, 1/2-in thick, impact and scratch-resistant Lexan™ windows provide excellent visibility. Powerful LED working lights and a 360° camera display system offer broad coverage, ensuring precise, safe work in all conditions.

  • The FAE PT-475 undercarriage structure provides maximum operational performance and reliability even in the most demanding jobs
    HEAVY DUTY UNDERCARRIAGE

    The FAE PT550 undercarriage is designed to provide maximum operating performance and reliability, even in the most demanding conditions. Prime quality Berco components. Chains with lifetime lubrication offer longer life than conventional chains as well as greater operator comfort. Solid, reliable dozertype rollers. Oscillating undercarriage technology for superior traction and comfort. Two options available for roller guards to better adapt to different working environments.
    Conventional geometry ensures a low center of gravity and provides optimal contact between chain and drive wheel. Two fundamental elements for the best possible work, even on slopes. The FAE PT550 wheelbase also extends the area over which the load is distributed, which means lower specific pressure against the ground. The frames of the PT550 undercarriage are designed to withstand major stresses and make maintenance easier.
