Keep your robots moving. Keep your floors performing.
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and warehouse robots are the backbone of modern distribution centers. They run the same routes thousands of times per day—quietly, efficiently, and relentlessly. But their small, hard wheels can be brutal on concrete floors.
Over time, those repeated passes crush joint edges, wear down surface paste, and create ruts, spalls, and dusting that slow down operations and damage equipment.
Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender with Microdoweling™ delivers the only repair solution engineered to move with the concrete, bond deep into micro‑fractures, and stand up to the punishing traffic patterns of AGVs.
Why AGV Floors Fail — and Why Traditional Epoxies Make It Worse
AGVs concentrate thousands of pounds of load onto narrow wheel paths. When they repeatedly cross control joints and worn concrete, the damage compounds:
- Joint shoulders crumble
- Surface paste turns to dust
- Ruts form in high‑traffic lanes
- AGV drive systems and wheels wear prematurely
Many facilities try to fix this with brittle, high‑PSI epoxies. But that creates a new problem:
Hard epoxy + softer concrete = speed bumps and pop‑outs.
If your concrete is ~4000 psi and you patch it with a 10,000+ psi epoxy, the epoxy won’t flex. The surrounding concrete continues to wear, leaving raised, rigid epoxy “islands” that fracture at the bond line.
The Concrete Mender™ Advantage: Tough, Flexible, and AGV‑Ready
Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender® is engineered differently:
- Microdoweling™ penetration bonds deep into the concrete matrix
- Modulus of elasticity slightly below concrete allows repairs to flex under load
- Repairs wear with the concrete, not against it
- No brittle failures, no speed bumps, no pop‑outs
- Traffic-ready in about 10 minutes — even under heavy AGV loads
- Works in freezers down to –30°F
Your AGVs get a smoother path. Your floors last longer. Your maintenance team stops chasing recurring failures.
Fast Repairs. Minimal Downtime. Maximum Uptime.
Closing aisles for hours or days is expensive. With Concrete Mender®:
- Minimal prep
- Fast cartridge or Easy Injection application
- Return to service in minutes
- Ideal for 24/7 operations, cold storage, and high-throughput facilities
AGVs can stay productive — and so can your team.
Where Concrete Mender Excels
- Control joint rebuilding
- Spall and pothole repair
- Wheel-path ruts
- Cracked or delaminated concrete
- Freezer and cold‑storage floors
- High‑traffic robotic lanes
If your AGVs follow the same path every time, Concrete Mender® keeps that path smooth, durable, and reliable.

Your AGVs Will Thank You
As Roadware’s Richard King says:
“If your AGV could talk, it would ask for Concrete Mender.”
Because smoother floors mean fewer breakdowns, less wheel wear, and more uptime.
