Food INDUSTRY
The utmost care is taken when transporting products in the food industry. The HUBTEX multidirectional sideloaders, for example, are used to transport heavy loads in high racks. The HUBTEX inloaders with load capacities of up to 26,455 lbs are, on the other hand, used for conventional transport in the food industry.
Task areas
Electric multidirectional sideloader
The electric multidirectional sideloader is particularly suited to handling cheese stillages in high-bay racking. The stillages are lifted between the load bed, ensuring that the view from the cab to the rack compartment is not blocked.
High efficiency and low energy consumption characterize the electric multidirectional sideloader.
Within the respective series, the stackers can be adapted to individual customer requirements. All equipment options from the modular system are available for this vehicle.
As it is designed to operate for long periods of time, the electric multidirectional sideloader is optimally suited for the food industry.
Inloader
A new development of HUBTEX is the inloader with a load capacity of 26,455 lbs. This weight means that up to 28 apple crates can be transported at once. The device is available both as an electric vehicle and with a diesel or gas drive. Consequently, it can be used both indoors or outdoors.
The load is picked up by synchronous lifting of the chassis with the lifting rail. The special vertical lift guarantees secure and accurate lifting of the stillage, without displacement.
Four hydraulic clamps hold the load in place during transport.

CASE STUDIES
What our customers and partners say about our products and services.
Siemens Mobility
Siemens Mobility uses a radio-controlled HUBTEX multi-directional work platform (EPL 03) at its Krefeld plant to pick up, transport, and precisely install side windows in double-decker trains at different heights. The focus was on a mobile alternative to stationary glass handling stations, enabling ergonomic, reliable installation on the upper deck as well. Inductive guidance, multi-directional steering, and vacuum handling support a repeatable, consistent process.
Mubea
Mubea uses the electric HUBTEX SFX 40 platform transporter in its press shop to reliably move press tools weighing up to 40 tons across the plant in three-shift operation. As part of the centralization of tool maintenance, the company needed a solution that combines heavy-duty performance with flexible routing and fast availability. Radio remote control and multi-directional steering enable precise positioning and excellent maneuverability in day-to-day plant traffic.
Volkswagen
Volkswagen in Wolfsburg will rely on the HUBTEX SFX 65 going forward to safely and space efficiently transport press tools weighing up to 65 tons and coils weighing up to 32 tons within the press shop. The company was looking for a flexible alternative to rail guided systems, with all direction mobility, featuring both a flat load deck and a recessed coil pocket. HUBTEX delivered a customer specific version based on the standard vehicle platform.
