Coil
transport
HUBTEX vehicles offer you a wide range of transport solutions for coils. We use various solutions to adapt the vehicle to the specific requirements of our customers. Whether the coils are to be picked up in a standing, lying or suspended position, we can offer you the right solution. The spectrum ranges from platform vehicles through electric multidirectional sideloaders to heavy-duty compact forklifts.
Task areas
The heavy-duty compact forklift from HUBTEX
The HUBTEX RoxX compact forklift with electric drive transports sheet metal, aluminum or copper coils weighing up to 25 tons. The compact forklift is characterized by its very compact external dimensions, in comparison with competing products. In particular, the patented steering system ensures minimum turning radii, thereby enabling more storage space to be used.
The platform truck from HUBTEX
The HUBTEX platform trucks and heavy-duty transport systems are particularly suitable for the in-house transport of very heavy loads. The platform trucks can be individually adapted for the respective application. A wide range of chassis and operating concepts is available as well as different concepts for automation of these vehicles. In this regard, our SFB platform trucks find their perfect use in coil transport.
Electric towing tractor with gooseneck
The HUBTEX electric towing tractor with hydraulic gooseneck is suitable for handling cargo trailers when coils are to be transported frequently, quickly and reliably. The vehicles are individually adapted to the customer's wishes, guaranteeing an optimal dovetailing of the in-house processes.
The electric multidirectional sideloader from HUBTEX
The HUBTEX electric multidirectional sideloader is a true multitasker. It can be used in almost every sector. Whether in the basic version, with assistance systems or as a fully automated transport system, the electric multidirectional sideloader can be used for almost all application scenarios.
The heavy-duty electric multidirectional sideloader
Our “power packs” are particularly suited to the universal transport of a wide variety of coil variants. All possible loads – whether very heavy or bulky – can be transported using a heavy-duty electric multidirectional sideloader. It can also be used in narrow aisles or freely both indoors and outdoors. In addition, the models within the series can be adapted to suit all individual customer requirements.
The coil transporter from HUBTEX
The HUBTEX coil transporter is the specialist when it comes to the internal handling of coils for feeding production machines and conveyor systems. Due to its very compact design, this vehicle can also be used with minimal space requirements. The coil transporters are configured individually for each customer.
The reach truck from HUBTEX
The HUBTEX SQ reach truck is characterized by its compact design combined with its high load capacity of up to 6 tons. Thanks to its size, the reach truck can also be used in aisles of the same width as conventional reach trucks. Handling heavy coils is child's play with our reach truck. Thanks to its significantly higher load capacities, it puts other lift trucks in the shade. In addition, the energy-efficient control system enables long battery operating times.
We know the best solution.

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.
