At LIGNA 2025, the world’s premier trade fair for woodworking and wood processing, HUBTEX is debuting two new electric forklifts designed to transform the transport of long and heavy loads in the wood industry. The MSL 50 and MAXX 50 electric multidirectional sideloaders are set to offer timber merchants, sawmills, and prefabricated house builders customized solutions for their unique operational needs.
HUBTEX, a leading provider of innovative forklifts and order picking systems, continues to expand its portfolio with sustainable and efficient solutions. The new MSL 50 sideloader, with a 5-tonne capacity, is optimized for longer transport distances outdoors. The robust design and ergonomic features, including an SL cabin, ensure comfort and visibility, making it the ideal solution for businesses that handle large outdoor areas. Its low-set front window offers clear visibility of the route, while the generous side window allows operators to monitor the load closely during transport.
In addition, HUBTEX is introducing the MAXX 50, a powerful 5-tonne electric model that excels in both indoor and outdoor environments. With a lift mast tailored to its load capacity and the option for 360° HX steering, the MAXX 50 is perfect for wood processing companies that require heavy-duty lifting and maneuverability in tight spaces. Featuring a powerful 5-kW electric motor, this forklift ensures top performance, even on inclines, making it an excellent choice for both loading trucks outdoors and navigating narrow warehouse aisles.
The MAXX 50’s increased residual load capacity is particularly beneficial for transporting heavy or damp timber, a common challenge in the woodworking industry. Both models prioritize energy efficiency, making them sustainable choices for businesses looking to reduce their carbon footprint while increasing operational efficiency.
“HUBTEX’s new MSL 50 and MAXX 50 models reflect our commitment to delivering industry-leading solutions for the woodworking sector,” said Hans-Joachim Finger, General Manager of HUBTEX. “These forklifts combine robust functionality, sustainability, and ease of use, enabling companies to enhance productivity while reducing environmental impact.”
By unveiling these innovative products at LIGNA 2025, HUBTEX is positioning itself as a key player in driving the future of electric, sustainable transport solutions for the woodworking industry.
