Siemens Mobility
“Together with HUBTEX, we have proven that we can install side windows on all decks using a mobile solution – without needing stationary platforms on the left and right alongside the car.”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 project focused on creating a mobile alternative to stationary glass handling stations, enabling ergonomic, reliable installation in 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 move press tools weighing up to 40 tonnes reliably across the site in three-shift operation. As part of the centralisation of tool maintenance, a solution was required that combines heavy-duty capability with flexible routing and rapid availability. Radio remote control and multi-directional steering support precise positioning and high manoeuvrability in day-to-day traffic.
Volkswagen
Volkswagen in Wolfsburg will rely on the HUBTEX SFX 65 going forward to transport press tools weighing up to 65 tonnes and coils weighing up to 32 tonnes safely and in a space saving manner within the press shop. The company was looking for a flexible alternative to rail guided systems that can move in all directions and provides both a flat loading platform and a recessed coil bed. To meet these requirements, HUBTEX delivered a customer specific configuration based on the standard vehicle platform.
Ryerson Inc.
Ryerson uses a HUBTEX SFX 40 platform transporter in its Coil Processing Center to move coils weighing up to 30 tonnes safely and in a controlled manner within the plant. Rather than relying on permanently installed rails, the focus is on a flexible solution that makes narrow routes and day to day pedestrian traffic easier to manage. Radio remote control operation and the integrated safety concept, featuring sensors and warning signals, help to noticeably enhance safety standards in the immediate working area.
AGC Seapane
At AGC Seapane in Zeebrugge, Belgium, two HUBTEX multidirectional sideloaders move empty and loaded glass racks every day between the warehouse, loading bay and external storage areas, as well as for HGV loading. One HUBTEX MQ 30 has been in operation for almost 15 years; since early 2024, the fleet has been expanded with a PHOENIX MQ 30 featuring 3-tonne capacity and multi-directional steering. After trialling a competitor’s truck and then returning to the proven technology, this combination delivers high availability, short transit times and consistently stable operations.
Builders’ Merchants and DIY distributor LAMIPLAST
In the builders' merchants & DIY sector, where space utilisation is crucial, Lamiplast needed to optimise its intralogistics to store materials up to 6 metres long and operate safely in narrow aisles. High daily throughput required a multidirectional electric sideloader offering greater manoeuvrability, fewer maneuvers, and precise handling of a wide variety of loads. With the HUBTEX PHOENIX MQ, Lamiplast makes better use of every square metre of warehouse space while working more efficiently and comfortably.
Tigris Building Solutions
Tigris Building Solutions in Plombières, Belgium, moves pallets as well as long loads such as timber profiles and sheet material every day along narrow routes, indoors and outdoors. To handle lorry loading, internal transport and machine feeding flexibly and efficiently without additional vehicles, the company relies on two HUBTEX FLUX 30 trucks and one HUBTEX MQ 45. The long standing partnership with HUBTEX and the planned expansion of the fleet underline the day to day value these solutions deliver.
Timber Building Supplies
Timber and Building Supplies Holland N.V. (TABS) has opened a new distribution centre in Tilburg to supply customers in the southern Netherlands more quickly and reliably. Ahead of the investment, TABS trialled the PHOENIX range in real-world operations for a month and chose twelve electric HUBTEX PHOENIX MQ35 trucks. The multi-directional sideloaders ensure a continuous and safe flow of materials.
Hydro Building Systems
When planning its new forklift fleet for their UK site in Tewkesbury, the company Hydro Building Systems (HBS) had one key issue at the forefront of its mind – safety. As a result, the company has over five years of accident-free operation and has been awarded the group's internal "Safe Site Award".
Slide manufacturer: Josef Wiegand
The Josef Wiegand company, based in Rasdorf, a town in the German state of Hesse, is a special company: it is one of the few companies in the world that manufactures slides, summer toboggan runs and amusement park equipment. For their production, it is not uncommon to have to transport steel and stainless steel tube material up to twelve meters long. This is difficult for a conventional counterbalanced forklift truck to handle. The solution: the 2in1 FluX 30 forklift, which can be used flexibly as a conventional forklift or side loader.
RATHEAU
The Ratheau Group, a family business steeped in tradition, has equipped its new site in Conflans-Sainte Honorine, near Paris, with multidirectional forklifts from its long-standing partner HUBTEX. These trucks enable loads of timber up to 512 inches long to be transported and stored reliably and efficiently in narrow aisles. Thanks to the high load capacity and manoeuvrability of the HUBTEX trucks, Ratheau is able to optimise the space available and thus considerably improve its storage logistics.
Door manufacturer RWD Schlatter AG
RWD Schlatter AG has significantly simplified the storage and picking processes for doors, door frames and raw materials. An individually configured HUBTEX MK15 electric multidirectional order picking truck drives semi-automatically to the individual rack compartments.
