EOD Robots
EOD Robots — Send the Robot First
Large and medium platforms from L3Harris, plus the disruptors, recoil mitigation and robot tooling that decide what the robot can actually do at the device. Supplying EOD techs since 2012. SDVOSB. GSA Schedule GS-07F-148GA. ISO 9001:2015 custom fabrication in Franklin, TN.
Writing a spec or a grant application? The Bomb Squad Robots page maps both platforms to the NBSCAB robot classifications.
Large or Medium: How Teams Decide
| T7 (large) | T4 (medium) | |
|---|---|---|
| Lift near chassis | 250+ lb | 121 lb |
| Vertical reach | 122 in | 98 in |
| Below-grade reach | — | 51 in |
| Weight | 710 lb | 154 lb chassis + 72 lb arm |
| Transport | Response vehicle | Two-person carry, 4x4 |
| Disruptors | Up to 4, incl. 2 large | High-recoil capable |
| Best for | Vehicle-borne, heavy UXO | Interiors, stairwells, below grade |
Both run the same haptic controller and share a substantial parts inventory, so a mixed fleet trains and maintains as one system. Agencies replacing an aging fleet usually find that commonality is the larger lifecycle saving.
What Mounts To It
The platform is the start. What mounts to it decides whether the robot can execute your team's render-safe procedure:
- PAN disrupter ammunition and 12-gauge disrupter cartridges
- Multi-Shot EOD Disrupter (VADUM)
- Disrupter Recoil Mitigation System for EOD Robots (VADUM)
- Recoil Reduction Adapter and Pan Recoil Reduction Kit (Ideal Products)
- Robot Mounted Shock Tube Initiator (Duke Pro)
- UnZipper Robot Tool (Detonation Technology)
Where a mount for a specific tool and platform combination does not exist, we fabricate it in Franklin, TN under ISO 9001:2015 through Custom Off The Shelf.
EOD Robots: Frequently Asked Questions
What EOD robots does EOD Gear carry?
The L3Harris T7 large EOD robot and the L3Harris T4 medium EOD robot. The T7 lifts 250+ lb near the chassis with 122 in of vertical reach. The T4 lifts 121 lb with 98 in of vertical reach in a footprint two people can carry. Both are quoted by configuration rather than sold online.
What is the difference between a large and a medium EOD robot?
Lift and reach against access and transport. A large robot handles vehicle-borne work, heavy UXO recovery, and anything needing a quarter-ton lift or three meters of vertical reach. A medium robot reaches confined urban spaces, interior stairwells and below-grade positions a large platform cannot enter, and deploys from a smaller vehicle with a smaller crew.
Which disruptors can these robots carry?
The T7 supports up to four total disruptors, including up to two large ones — PAN, PIGSTICK, HOTROD and RE70 among them. The T4 was the first robot in its weight class able to fire high-recoil disruptors repeatedly without taking damage. We stock the ammunition, mounts and recoil mitigation hardware separately.
Can agencies purchase EOD robots on GSA?
Yes. EOD Gear is a GSA Schedule contract holder — GS-07F-148GA — and an SDVOSB. Agencies can purchase via GSA, P-Card, or purchase order, and we support grant documentation and sole-source justification. Use the contact form for procurement support.
Who is eligible to buy an EOD robot?
Authorized agencies only — accredited Public Safety Bomb Squads, military EOD units, and federal response teams. EOD Gear is ITAR registered and holds FFL10/FEL20.
Can EOD Gear build a custom robot mount?
Yes. Mounts and adapters are fabricated in-house in Franklin, TN under ISO 9001:2015 using CNC machining and additive manufacturing. Send us the tool and the platform interface and we will quote the part.
