Introduction

On August 27, 2025, Rent-Nikken Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, along with Shimizu Corporation from Chuo, Tokyo, and SC Machinari Co., Ltd. from Yokohama, Kanagawa, announced the development of a groundbreaking transport cart known as "LiBuggy" for moving materials over slab rebar.

Background of Development

Traditionally, workers moved over slabs of rebar using pedestrian mats for a smoother transit experience. However, it has always posed significant challenges regarding material transport, especially when dealing with heavy and bulky materials. The conventional method often necessitated the use of tower cranes or multiple personnel for safe transportation. These methods raised concerns about both productivity and safety on construction sites. With these obstacles in mind, a modern solution became essential.

Features of LiBuggy

LiBuggy enhances on-site operations with innovative features designed specifically for the construction environment:

1. Enhanced Roller Design: The cart features rollers that prevent derailing on rebar, ensuring smooth transport.
2. Reduced Load Jostling: With minimal swaying, your materials stay secure during transit, reducing the risk of dropping items.
3. Multi-Directional Movement: LiBuggy enables seamless movements not just back and forth but also sideways and at angles, allowing for maximum flexibility on site.
4. Dual Cart Use: By utilizing two LiBuggy carts together, the process of arranging materials on-site becomes easy and efficient, effectively addressing the challenges associated with material distribution.

Material distribution work involves moving and positioning the delivered materials to their respective work locations on site.

Specifications of LiBuggy

While specific dimensions and technical specifications remain under detail, the innovation behind LiBuggy promises significant improvements over existing methods in terms of efficiency and safety. One can expect a robust, lightweight design featuring advanced materials that enhance usability and durability in demanding construction environments.
