“The addition of SMS Equipment to our dealer network

demonstrates our intent to build market share in Canada,

providing more customers with greater access to our RT9

crawler carriers and the unmatched product service and

support that comes with the Terramac brand,” said Terramac

CEO Mike Crimaldi. “With their product knowledge and

experience, SMS Equipment can provide superlative support

to our customers.”

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 con-

ditions. 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 and a maxi-

mum carrying capacity of 18,000 pounds, the RT9 is the

largest mid-sized rubber track carrier that does not re-

quire special oversize permitting to transport the machine.

Equipped with a 230-horsepower Cummins diesel engine in

both open- and closed-cab options, the RT9 has rollover pro-

tective structure as well as falling object protective structure

components.

Ditch Witch Introduces

Cost-E#cient Mud Recycler

D

itch Witch recently announced the release of the

MR90 mud recycler, designed to enhance cost-effi-

ciency. The Ditch Witch MR90 is a self-contained

unit that can mix and recycle drilling fluid, or “mud,” as well

as handle spoils. By reclaiming, recycling, and reusing drill-

ing mud, drill operators can save on disposal and transport

costs. The MR90 saves operators even more time and money

because it can be transported full of fluid.

The 25-horsepower MR90 is equipped with a hydraulic pit

pump that provides more than enough mud for recycling.

Pump hydraulics can be controlled by an optional remote

control, which can simplify operation for smaller directional

drill crews. The MR90 also boasts an automatic pit pump

control that is designed to prevent overflow.

The MR90 is equipped with a 110-gallon clean tank and

a 340-gallon first-pass mud tank. Each tank has a 3-inch

connection at the drain for vacuuming out mud to minimize

jobsite cleanup. The MR90 also includes a 300-gallon fresh

water tank to provide extra drilling fluid capacity and support

for equipment cleanup, along with a high-pressure wash

pump.

The MR90 offers fast setup and can be operated from a sin-

gle point, eliminating the need to move the unit. The MR90’s

mud-filtering system is a two-screen system with six 2.5-inch

hydrocyclones that cleans mud for reuse. The screens are

easy to change and service and can be hydraulically adjusted

to separate spoils.
