Resgreen Group announced it is testing a new brushless motor for its robust PullBuddy™ Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV), which moves loads up to 3,000 pounds. The brushless motor has a higher torque compared to the currently used brushed motor, which will lead to better performance and increased horsepower. In addition, the new motor requires less maintenance, resulting in a more robust unit.

As with the rest of the industry, RGGI is dealing with supply chain issues. One of the primary criteria used to evaluate new brushless drive motor systems was the stability of supply. The cost-effective PullBuddy™ is a magnetic-tape guided AGV that is less than 12 inches in height, allowing it to easily tunnel under load handling frames (LHFs).

PullBuddy™ uses a pop-up pin to automatically connect and disconnect from LHFs for seamless, 24/7 operation. The vehicle can be equipped with a variety of accessories such as scissor lifts, roller conveyors, and customized carts to work in applications from assembly to transporting goods in a warehouse.
