RT9 crawler carrier

The rubber tracks and low ground pressure (5.1 psi when fully loaded) allow the multi-purpose Terramac RT9 crawler carrier to cover a variety of ground and adverse weather conditions. The machine has been customized to fit more than 15 different industry specific applications to tackle a variety of jobs, including suppressing tailings dust on mines, holding welding equipment for oil and gas pipelines, and laying dirt in environmentally sensitive areas for general construction.

Made in North America, the RT9 can be ordered from the factory with the correct body configuration to accept custom accessories. Additional options for the RT9 include a back-up camera, bed lights, radio, flat bed, dump bed, track cleats and an engine filter kit.

With an operating weight of 26,000 pounds (11,794 kg) and a maximum carrying capacity of 18,000 pounds (8,165 kg), the RT9 is the largest mid-sized rubber track carrier that does not require special oversize permitting to transport the machine. Equipped with a 230 hp Cummins diesel engine in both open- and closed-cab options, the RT9 has rollover protective structure (ROPS) as well as falling object protective structure (FOPS) components.

Terramac and SMS Equipment offer a wide range of parts and accessories available for purchase, as well as replacement parts such as rubber tracks, expendables and undercarriage parts (including rollers, sprockets, idlers and travel motors). Parts are in stock and can be delivered quickly to minimize downtime.
