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.
Binder
The Austrian company Binder+Co AG uses a Hubtex SFX electric platform truck with a payload of 40 t and multidirectional steering for the in-house transport of raw materials and semi-finished and finished bulk material processing systems. Bulk material processing systems weighing up to 40 tonnes can now be transported across the entire company premises and between the various halls and production stages without the need for costly hired mobile cranes.
Timber dealer Douglas Hout
Douglas Hout, a company based in Ede, the Netherlands, specializes in the import and trade of Douglas fir wood. The company offers both standard dimensions of 2-6 meters and custom dimensions. The warehouse is mainly narrow aisles and high shelves.
Building materials dealer Halvax Paneelsysteme
Halvax Paneelsysteme GmbH is a company in Carinthia, Austria. From Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, the company distributes roof and wall systems throughout Carinthia. In goods handling, therefore, a variety of long, short and sometimes very heavy products must be moved.
Building materials manufacturer METECNO sandwich panels
The loads to be transported by METECNO are mainly sandwich panel packages with dimensions ranging from 3 to 18 meters. The Diesel four-way forklifts DQ-X are equipped with a detachable fork carriage, which offers great flexibility to safely move different load lengths.
