The new Workhorse: The 2840 Multidirectional Sideloader

Besides heavy loads, long shifts, and rough conditions, the demands on material handling equipment vary widely across the steel industry. Hubtex’s response is a modular concept adaptable to individual needs. Customers can choose between four different stand-up cabin and chassis set-ups and select joystick or lever operation. Increasing storage density by squeezing out every inch of available floor space unites the different versions.

Before HUBTEX

Before installing racks all our sheet and skidded coil products were in piles of inventory on our floor. We could have had up to five bundles high and it was a handling and moving nightmare to dig out the material the loaders need for their trucks.

With HUBTEX

We were able to move an employee to the sideloader and he fills the racks with finished goods and restocks and also picks the material for the outbound trucks. It has reduced our searching time for outbound material by up to 30 minutes per truck.

Dalco Metals INC.

The use of racks as well as a barcode system and a multidirectional sideloader has helped Dalco Metals operations flow from production to shipping. It has reduced their searching time for outbound material by up to 30 Minutes per truck.

Pacific Steel & Recycling

With the previous racking system, too much time—up to half a shift—was spent reloading stock. Now, that’s only about an hour a day.
