PRESS RELEASE: This project is being carried out by its bespoke department, RCT Custom, which has been engaged to implement a ControlMaster portable teleremote solution for an Elphinstone-manufactured WR820 articulated underground water truck.
RCT's portable teleremote solution works by utilising cameras on board the machine to relay vision of its movements to the operator, who can then oversee the machine via remote control.
The machine's tramming and the articulation of the water cannon mounted on the crane will be controlled by using looms and hydraulics installed and manufactured by Tasmanian-based Caterpillar OEM Elphinstone to RCT specifications.
This is the second project where RCT Custom has applied this technology to a water cart for the same client.
