PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Brief descripton of PushBuddy®
The device is designed for pushing forward HD generation rods (except K-28 HD). It is
wirelessly connected to the base unit Profi 3+ (requires additional accessories) or Profi HD.
The rod goes through the device and it is driven by two motors forwards or backwards. The
PushBuddy® is clamped at the beginning of the pipe with a hoist motor. Meter counting is
done by the PushBuddy® instead of the reel. It is operated by a replaceable rechargeable
Bosch battery, so it works independently of the main supply.
