Cut, Mill Roads with FAE’s New Asphalt Shredders for Skid Steers, CTLs

FAE is launching three new skid steer and compact track loader attachments for shredding or cutting through asphalt and concrete roads.

The RPL/SSL and RPM/SSL shredders are based on similar technology as cold planers. Teeth attached to a rotor scrape and cut to prepare a surface for a new layer of asphalt or concrete. They can also be used for excavation operations.

The company is also launching an RWM/SSL model that uses a disc rotor for targeted excavations on asphalt and concrete surfaces for such tasks as laying electrical, water, gas or fiber-optic lines.

All three attachments will be available in 2023.

FAE RPL/SSLFAEThe RPL and RPM attachments use a combination of self-leveling skids and tilt for consistent cutting results, including on uneven surfaces. Precision is achieved via their hydraulic systems, as well as depth and cutting indicators.

The shredders are designed to give operators good visibility to the attachments from the cab. The hydraulic and electrical systems are designed for easy plug-in with leading skid steers and CTLs on the market, the company says.
