Doog Expands Outdoor Transport Lineup with “THOUZER Giant” Capable of Towing Over 1 Ton

Doog Inc. (Tsukuba, Ibaraki, CEO: Akira Oshima) has enhanced its “THOUZER Giant E Series” by offering an optional pre-shipment modification that significantly increases its towing capacity. This enhancement involves replacing the standard front wheels with larger omni-wheels, increasing the front wheel diameter by approximately 1.5 times. Additionally, by adding drive motors to the front wheels, the number of motors increases from two to four, effectively doubling the straight-line torque and improving maneuverability when transporting heavy loads. This modification also enhances braking performance, especially under heavy loads, allowing for safer operations with a towing capacity exceeding 1,000 kg.

The modified THOUZER Giant E Series comes in two models:

• RMS-15E2A: Features four motors with a top speed of 8.0 km/h and approximately twice the standard driving force, suitable for towing up to 1,000 kg.
• RMS-15E2B: Equipped with four motors and a gear ratio change prioritizing torque, offering a top speed of 3.6 km/h and approximately four times the standard driving force, capable of towing up to 2,000 kg.

Both models have a waterproof rating of IPX2, making them suitable for outdoor inter-building transport. However, due to the increased power, the expected travel distance per charge is reduced to 10–15 km, so adding extra batteries is recommended for extended operations.

In addition to the THOUZER Giant, Doog has expanded its lineup with the “Mecharon,” a crawler-type collaborative transport robot available in Basic and E Series grades. The E Series includes features like line tracing and enhanced stability through additional sensors, making it ideal for transporting goods or conducting inspections on uneven terrains. The Mecharon has already been deployed in outdoor environments such as steel mills and agricultural fields, offering extensive expandability and customization compared to other crawler-type AGVs/AMRs.

Furthermore, Doog is collaborating with Suzuki Motor Corporation on the “THOUZER Cross,” a collaborative transport robot equipped with a steering mechanism designed for stable operation on unpaved surfaces.
