Managing territory and protecting natural ecosystems with the RCU55 remote-controlled tracked carrier

In Australia, the RCU55 supports a local business in their daily operations on steep slopes.

The Sunshine Coast boasts over 60 kilometers of pristine white-sand beaches, stretching along the Queensland coast. Inland, the landscape transforms into a lush tapestry of forests, national parks, and rural countryside.

Creek2Coast, with its headquarters here, is a leader in specialized land management. “We’ve spent years mastering the challenges of working on steep, difficult terrain,” says owner Matt Russell. “Known for our land reclamation, vegetation removal, mulching, chipping, and firebreak creation, we prioritize efficiency and environmental responsibility in all our projects.”

Given their commitment to quality, it's no surprise they opted for a fleet of advanced, high-performance machines.

“To address the challenges posed by our frequent work on steep terrain, we invested in a compact, remote-controlled tracked carrier: the RCU55. The remote-control feature ensures complete operator safety, a non-negotiable aspect of our operations. We adhere to rigorous safety protocols and maintain constant vigilance over potential risks. Our commitment to both employee safety and delivering exceptional results to our clients is unwavering, and the RCU is instrumental in achieving both.”

“We’ve found the perfect partner in the RCU55,” continues Matt. “It’s reliable, efficient, and easily transportable. Plus, if we encounter any issues, FAE Australia Pacific is always ready to assist. We rely heavily on this machine for all our land clearing work, removing invasive weeds that harm native habitats and protecting our ecosystem. We also use it for field maintenance, ensuring optimal conditions for successful planting and crop growth. Of course, we also use the RCU55 to create firebreaks that protect land and property from fires, reaching hillsides with lateral slopes up to 55 degrees, areas that others can’t access,” Matt concludes.
