              • ELECTRIC HEAVY-DUTY COMPACT FORKLIFT

              • Wherever heavy loads need to be transported, handled or loaded in confined spaces, the HUBTEX RoxX electric heavy-duty compact forklift comes into its own. The RoxX is used both indoors and outdoors. In comparison with conventional forklift trucks, the RoxX is characterized by very compact external dimensions in length and width. In short: The HUBTEX compact forklift is used anywhere where conventional frontloaders cannot be used due to their significantly larger dimensions. All vehicles in the RoxX series have a sturdy, robust free-view lift mast and offer maximum maneuverability as well as optimum all-round visibility from the driver's cab. The purely electric drive results in extremely energy-efficient, low-maintenance and quiet operation.

                HUBTEX ELECTRIC HEAVY-DUTY COMPACT FORKLIFTS: STRONG, ROBUST AND EXTREMELY MANEUVERABLE

                Heavy loads are often transported by frontloaders. But when space is limited, these trucks quickly reach their limits due to their vehicle length. a robustHUBTEX's RoxX heavy-duty compact forklifts offer and maneuverable solution. The development is based on a cooperation between HUBTEX and Dimos. The two international manufacturers of industrial trucks have been collaborating on new products and solutions for intralogistics since the end of 2017. One result of this successful cooperation is the new RoxX heavy-duty compact forklift, which, in various series, facilitates the handling of load capacities from 8 to 30 tons in confined spaces. All vehicles in this family have sturdy, robust lift masts and offer maximum maneuverability as well as optimum all-round visibility from the driver's cab.

                MAXIMUM MANEUVERABILITY WITH PATENTED STEERING

                Whether coils, reels of paper, converters or tools – the new RoxX series from HUBTEX will transport these loads safely and reliably. The vehicle is very maneuverable and suitable for use both indoors and outdoors. The compact design of the RoxX offers significant advantages over conventional frontloaders: it is up to 25% narrower and around 20% shorter with the same load capacity. There are two steering systems available for the RoxX. An electro-hydraulic steering system with one steering axle is fitted as standard. Further space savings can be achieved with the optional electric steering system. A new, patented single-wheel steering system significantly reduces the turning circle, resulting in an additional space saving of 50% in the turning radius compared with standard steering. In this case, the pivot point of the vehicle is ideally located at the center of the drive axle.

              • Electric Reach trucks

              • The HUBTEX reach truck is characterized by its compact design combined with a high load capacity. It comes into play whenever the load capacities of standard reach trucks from the major series manufacturers reach their limits.                                                                                            
                With our SQ series, not only do you benefit from significantly higher load capacities with the same aisle dimensions, but also, for example, from the smallest turning circles promoted by our multidirectional steering system. This means that we can offer you the perfect solution for your “heavy” handling problem and will be by your side with all our expertise as your partner for customer-specific reach trucks.

                • Up to 13,200lbs load capacity

                • LONG LOAD ORDER PICKER

                • LONG LOAD ORDER PICKERS FOR PROFILES AND PIPES

                  HUBTEX offers a wide range of solutions for the picking of aluminum, plastic or steel profiles, strips and pipes. We recommend our MU-OP and MU-SO models for small and medium turnover rates. These two models are specially designed for picking long profiles and pipes, mostly in guided narrow aisles. These vehicles combine the advantages of a multidirectional sideloader with the options of manual order picking in very narrow aisles. 
                  Our electric multidirectional sideloaders with removable order picking platform offer even greater flexibility, but with a larger aisle width. As multidirectional sideloaders without a platform, these can transport and store loads and pick individual profiles with a platform. 
                  Another variant for applications with a high rate of turnover is the EZK order picking platform. These vehicles are particularly suitable for applications with a high rate of turnover, as they can pick from both sides of a rack aisle. 

                  OPTIMAL USE OF RESOURCES

                  The use of HUBTEX order pickers increases efficiency when handling long and bulky goods in narrow aisles. HUBTEX follows the principle of bringing the operator to the goods. This reduces the work effort and prevents damage to the goods.

                    • ELECTRIC MULTIDIRECTIONAL ORDER PICKING PLATFORM MU-OP | MU-SO

                      • Up to 5t load capacity
                      • Up to 12.50m lift height
                      • Adaptable to all applications

                      Our multidirectional order picking sideloader in the 1-man version (MU-OP) and the 2-man version (MU-SO) can be adapted to your individual requirements. The models are specially designed for picking profiles and pipes in narrow aisles. At the same time, these trucks can be used as conventional electric multidirectional sideloaders for the stacking of complete packs. 

                      ORDER PICKING DIRECTLY FROM THE CAB

                      The MU-OP model is designed for one operator for the order picking of lightweight loads, such as aluminum, plastic or steel profiles. Its narrow rear frame, the optimized design of the lift mast and the central standup cab in front of the mast make the vehicle very narrow and therefore ideal for use in guided aisles. The central configuration of the standup cab in front of the lift mast gives the driver a clear view into the rack compartment, enabling him to pick light loads directly from the rack. Despite the slender design of the cab, all functions of the multidirectional sideloader are included, making the truck a fully-fledged electric multidirectional sideloader. This means that this vehicle can transport complete packs and bundles or provide manual assistance for order picking processes.

                      AVAILABLE WITH TWO CABS FOR LONG LOADS

                      The MU-SO model with two operators is recommended for the order picking of medium to heavy loads. In this model, the cabs are arranged next to the lift mast. This allows for easy order picking by two people, particularly in the case of longer loads.
                      When stacking complete packs, the truck is controlled by one driver. Optionally, both cabs can be equipped with all operating controls. However, as both cabs are usually only used when picking long loads, one complete control station is usually sufficient. The second cab is equipped with reduced equipment options but complete safety functions. 

                      Furthermore, the MU-OP and MU-SO series are equipped with all proven HUBTEX standards, such as two-part chassis frames, robust lift masts, ergonomic workstations, three-phase AC technology and HUBTEX information terminals with color graphic displays.

                      • Complete multidirectional sideloader
                      • Complete order picking vehicle

                      The multifunctional 2-in-1 solution – on the one hand, the electric multidirectional sideloader with removable order picking platform from HUBTEX can be used as a conventional multidirectional sideloader. On the other hand, by attaching a platform, it can also function as a complete order picking vehicle. During the order picking operation, all functions are controlled from the platform. Lift truck and platform form one unit, providing the operator with maximum flexibility.
                      In addition to one-sided rack operation in narrow aisles, this order picking truck can also be used for two-sided rack operation in free-range aisles. The ready picked goods are safely removed by a separate lift truck or a transfer station. 

                      MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY

                      Killing two birds with one stone: Whether used for picking processes with a removable picking platform, or "simply" as an electric multidirectional sideloader for moving and stacking long and heavy loads, our versatile all-rounder combines both capabilities perfectly.  
                      Long loads can be securely moved and stored using the HUBTEX electric multidirectional sideloader without a platform. The detachable platform provides maximum flexibility and an optimum order picking vehicle for every order situation. As soon as the HUBTEX order picking platform is attached, the multidirectional sideloader can be controlled via a control panel on the platform. Order picking directly from the rack saves a considerable amount of time. Without a platform, the complete goods packs would first have to be placed on the floor and then picked from there.

                      MANOEUVRING WITH MOUNTED PLATFORM

                      Even with the platform mounted, our electric multidirectional sideloader can be easily manoeuvred thanks to the greatest possible overview.

                      The electric two-sided order picking platforms of the EZK series are solely order picking platforms. Whether in the 2-mast or scissor lift version, they enable the picking of profiles up to 8 m in length. The goods can be easily picked from either side of the rack aisle. A load shifting device is optionally available for both models to facilitate the removal of the customer consignment by a separate lift truck.

                      EZK TWO-SIDED ORDER PICKERS 

                      In order to pick profiles quickly and without damage, manufacturers and dealers need an order picking system adapted to the individual requirements of the respective warehouse. With the help of a vehicle concept especially adapted to your needs and requirements, all areas of application can be mapped with the order picking platforms from HUBTEX.
                      In its basic version, the platform solution from HUBTEX is suitable purely for picking pipes and profiles on both sides of a rack aisle. Two operators stand on the platform and pick the long loads manually. Once the consignment is ready, stacking in this case is with multidirectional sideloaders. In the next expansion stage, the vehicles can optionally be equipped with telescopic tables which stack the consignment in the rack system and enable the direct transfer to the next production stage. Consequently, no additional lift truck is required to unload the goods, meaning that the rack aisles can be particularly narrow if required.

                  • SHEET PICKER

                  • BOARD AND DOOR ORDER PICKERS

                    Manufacturers, dealers and processing companies – they all have logistical value chains which involve the order picking of heavy and bulky sheet stock. This is because valuable wood sheets and decors in particular must arrive damage-free at the next production step or end customer. Today, there is a whole range of solutions for this complex process: from manual order picking by employees to fully automated logistics systems. It is therefore particularly important for decision-makers to have an overview of the systems available on the market and to be familiar with the decisive factors when selecting the right solution.
                    Another variant for applications with a high rate of turnover are the EZK order picking platforms, as they can pick from both sides of a rack aisle.

The all-round protection practically excludes injuries and damage to the vehicle and other objects.

                        IDEAL BASIS FOR SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

                        The MK series vehicle with optional multi-directional steering is characterised by its robust design and high load capacity. The powerful driving motors and the large Vulkollan wheels allow speeds of up to 8 km/h. The truck is equipped with a high load-bearing capacity. The two-stage mast with full free lift can be extended up to a height of 6,600 mm.

                        PROGRAMMABLE POSITION DATA

                        The vehicles can optionally be equipped with transponder antennas in the vehicle frame. In addition, transponders must be integrated into the roadway. These transmit signals to the transponders installed in the vehicle, which automatically ensure a dead straight and safe journey in the racking aisle. As soon as the desired rack area has been reached, the driver determines the end position with the help of the cross-line lasers mounted on the picking platform. The desired rack height can be reached with the picking platform. Thanks to the pre-programmed position data, the goods can now be picked quickly and easily with the vacuum suction device.

                        • Aircraft Construction Vehicles

                            • Fuselage transporters

                            • Platform transporter and track wagons are self-propelled vehicles that transport loads on and with the help of their large loading area. They are used for handling and transporting heavy loads of all kinds. In the aviation industry, for example, these include wing segments, fuselages and other components. An application example is the HUBTEX platform truck SL-AGV with a load capacity of 35 t and a height of only 457 mm. The vehicle transports aircraft fuselage parts and work platforms in a large production hall. The platform trucks can also be interconnected to form a system with a higher load capacity. The vehicles are controlled via radio remote controls. If no assembly frame is available, the HUBTEX fuselage transport trolleys transport the aircraft fuselages weighing up to 70 t from one assembly station to the next in coupled operation.

                              • Up to 70t load capacity
                              • Can be used in coupled operation
                              • Controlled via radio remote control

                            • Mobilization of work platforms and stationary installations

                            • These HUBTEX vehicles lift work platforms in coupled operation. The target position under the load is approached accurately and collision-free with the aid of a sensor-supported assistance system. Another mobilization solution is the combination of electrically steered drive units and load wheel units. These units can be retrofitted to stationary work platforms in order to upgrade them to a mobile system through coupling operation.  

                              • Lift height 6m
                              • Up to 15t load capacity
                              • Control via control panel

                            • Mobile assembly and supply platforms

                            • HUBTEX assembly and work platforms are used in various work steps within the aircraft assembly. They reliably bring the fitters and the material to the desired position on the fuselage. 

                              • Up to 5t load capacity
                              • Slow- & Line-Moving function available
                              • Control via radio remote control or workstand

                          • HEAVY LOAD

                          • Heavy-duty vehicles are an essential tool for in-plant transportation of heavy and bulky loads in various industries and fields of application. HUBTEX is a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty vehicles. The wide range of different heavy-duty vehicles is designed for transporting loads weighing up to 350 tons. In particular, platform transporters, rail-mounted trucks, tool changers and electric towing tractors play a major role in heavy-duty transport in intralogistics.

                            Our vehicles are durable and robust. They withstand the toughest operating conditions. HUBTEX heavy-duty vehicles also boast comparatively compact dimensions and high maneuverability. Even working in the tightest of spaces is not a problem.

                              • TOOL CHANGERS

                                • Up to 30t load capacity
                                • Low platform height
                                • Precise positioning

                                HUBTEX tool changers with load capacities of up to 65 tons help to reduce the changing times for pressing and stamping tools and so improve production efficiency. A HUBTEX tool changer is used in particular when changing tools with single presses which, due to their dimensions and mass, do not have a sliding tool platform. The compact chassis also allows for extremely low entry heights below the tools.

                                EXTREMELY LOW PLATFORM HEIGHTS WITH SIMULTANEOUSLY HIGH LOAD CAPACITIES

                                Thanks to its innovative chassis, every HUBTEX tool changer can carry very high load capacities with very low platform heights. This is achieved by installing several rows of smaller wheels, which are individually designed and calculated depending on the additional load. 

                                SMALL DIMENSIONS MAINTAINED, LOAD CAPACITY INCREASED

                                The tool changers from HUBTEX are characterized by their compact dimensions, as the entry situation for pressing and stamping tools or other machines is usually very confined. This is made possible by the individual frame structure of the vehicle. 

                                PRECISE DOCKING WITH ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS

                                Precise docking at the center of the press is a prerequisite for fast and reliable tool changes. This avoids the need to reposition the tool on the lifting table. The exchange vehicle approaches the press with the tool platform raised. When the tool platform is lowered, the docking hook moves into the holder on the press bed. The precise positioning can be covered by a variety of assistance systems. Simple systems such as a line laser at the control station for precise positioning of the transporter in front of the press bed in combination with a lift height indicator and distance display of the tool platform are just as conceivable as a fully automated positioning system.

                              • SFX platform transporter

                              • The transport of heavy and bulky loads presents a particular challenge. HUBTEX is able to meet this challenge with heavy-duty platforms in its new SFX series. The compact, self-propelled heavy-duty transport vehicles for indoor and outdoor use have a large loading area for transporting bulky, heavy loads.

                              • The rail-mounted trucks (GW) from HUBTEX are individually configured according to your wishes and requirements. They are designed for in-house transport on straight rails. If cornering is required, this must be considered on a case-by-case basis. 
                                They are controlled by an accompanying operator with cable remote control, but can also be automated. By defining the weight classes, HUBTEX specifies the appropriate rail-wheel-to-rail combination and determines the suitable gearbox and drive motor. The dimensions of the frame are individually designed according to the customer requirements. The load capacity must account for at least 65% of the length and width and be centered and evenly distributed.

                                • Up to 350t load capacity
