Hubtex- Optimising warehouse logistics

Handling wood-based materials is one of the core tasks of Hubtex. At the world’s leading trade fair for the wood industry, LIGNA, the company is presenting a selected portfolio of vehicles specifically for the intralogistics of wood companies. The highlight is thus on the new generation of electric multidirectional counterbalance truck FLUX. With these innovations and other new products, Hubtex has what is considered to be the most modern product portfolio on the market.

With the new FLUX, HUBTEX introduces the second generation of multidirectional counterbalance trucks for a combined indoor and outdoor application. The vehicle is designed to handle and transport pallets and long materials. The special characteristic of FLUX is the compact frame length and the fixed lift mast position, thus suited for loading and unloading lorries and truck trailers. The driver’s cabin is designed for the best possible ergonomics, and the panoramic view is improved by a compact lift mast structure and an application-optimized fork carriage. The intelligent drive control with the newest electric motors and the patent-registered steering system HX makes the truck unbeatably versatile, efficient and user-friendly in its class.

Special features of the counterbalance forklift include its compact frame length and the fixed lift mast. As a result, the FluX can be used like a front loader for loading and unloading trucks, for example, or alternatively as a sideloader for transporting long loads through narrow hall doors. The truck has been optimized for every application – from the ergonomics of the cabin to the more compact masts, central seating position and fork carriage with sideshift, providing better all-round visibility.

One of the unique selling points of the FluX multidirectional forklift is the combination of 3-wheel chassis and the 360° HX steering system. In addition to its impressive travel speed of up to 12 km/h, the HX steering is a particular advantage: The lift truck can change direction from longitudinal to transverse travel quickly and without stopping, with minimal wear and tear. As a result, users benefit from significant time savings and reduced wheel wear, depending on the operating conditions, especially when switching between the handling of long goods and pallets. The loading and unloading of trucks is also significantly faster due to the lack of mast feed. The automatic speed reduction dependent on the steering angle allows for optimized speeds to be driven safely.

HUBTEX is present at the Open-air site (FG), West side of pavillon 33, Stand N65.
