Task areas
Electric multi directional counterbalance forklift
The HUBTEX FLUX is an innovative electric multidirectional forklift, specifically designed for handling both pallets and long materials efficiently. Thanks to its compact design, fixed mast, and patented steering technology, the FLUX counterbalance forklift ensures maximum manoeuvrability and space utilization, ideal for demanding applications in the lumber industry.
Electric multi directional sideloader
The electric multi directional sideloader is a true multitasker. It can be used in almost every sector. Whether in the basic version, as a vehicle with an assistance system or as a fully automated transport system. The electric multi directional sideloader can be used for almost all application scenarios. Its multi directional steering enables optimum manoeuvrability to be maintained. The distance between the rack rows is minimized, while the storage capacity is simultaneously increased.
Electric multidirectional sideloader (3-wheel)
The HUBTEX DS 30 represent the entry-level variants of the electric multi directional sideloader. Due to its predominant use in retail or in manufacturing companies, it is also the right solution for the lumber industry. Its low entry height allows fast entry and exit of the vehicle. Loads of up to 6,600 lbs can be transported in narrow aisles in combined indoor and outdoor applications.
Sideloader with removable order picking platform, KP series
The basic variant of the electric multi directional sideloader is already configured for handling long loads in narrow aisles.
The addition of an order picking platform quickly transforms it into an order picking vehicle. The operator controls the system from the platform. Another operator can manually pick the wood sheets directly onto the vehicle.
Electric double-sided order-picking platform, MK series
The series is ideal for the stacking and order picking of doors and frames. The conventional electric multi directional sideloader with man-up cab is therefore optimal for the picking of customer orders.
EZK electric double-sided order picking platform with 2-mast lift or scissor lift
The EZK order picking platform is particularly suitable when high handling capacities are required. The platform is characterized by a two-sided rack operation. The vehicle scores with its wide range of equipment variants, such as automatic vehicle positioning in the aisle as well as centering in front of the load or enabling the goods to be strapped on the vehicle.
Vacuum suction technology
Each order picking platform can be supplemented with the VacumaX vacuum suction device from HUBTEX. With the help of the extendible suction cups, individual sheets are picked from the rack and then set down on the vehicle. Heavy loads are moved safely, keeping material damage to a minimum.
