Terramac’s new RT15R represents the next evolution in its rotating crawler carrier line.
Designed to maximize productivity and streamline maintenance, the RT15R succeeds the RT14R, offering increased performance and a suite of operator focused upgrades.
The RT15R features a 13.6-tonne carrying capacity, a 900-kg increase compared to its predecessor. This additional payload allows contractors in the utility, pipeline and general construction industries to move more material per trip, significantly increasing efficiency.
“Terramac is committed to listening to the needs of our dealers and end-users, and the RT15R is a product of the feedback we’ve received,” said Terramac President Matt Slater.
Looking beyond the payload increase, the RT15R is also engineered to maximize operational uptime through streamlined machine logistics.
Terramac optimized fuel, lubrication and daily service checkpoints to ensure maintenance is quick and intuitive. As well, the machine operates with a quieter profile, reducing site noise and incorporates advanced systems that simplify engine management, allowing contractors to focus on meeting deadlines rather than maintenance demands.
Maintenance is streamlined with all daily service points accessible from the ground level. The updated design ensures that routine checks can be performed quickly, maximizing uptime.
While designing the new crawler carrier, Terramac prioritized cab comfort and safety. The RT15R features several upgrades including an enlarged control panel and enhanced climate control systems. Visibility is improved by replacing the exterior crusher screen with a thicker, more durable windshield.

Safety enhancements include additional and elongated access steps for easier entry, expanded operator alerts and the inclusion of a fire extinguisher, among other protective features.
“By increasing the payload, simplifying aftertreatment technology and improving operator comforts we are providing a machine that works harder and is easier to operate and manage,” Slater said.
The RT15R is engineered to meet emissions standards with an EGR-free engine, offering simple and more efficient operation, reducing operating costs and simplifying refuelling logistics.
Like its predecessor, the RT15R’s rotating upper structure makes it easy to offload materials at any angle, reducing environmental impact, and improving safety in tight workspaces.
Built in St. Louis, the RT15R crawler carrier is now available worldwide.
