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 470 in 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 13 metres 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 optimize 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.
Michael Worahnik GmbH
Michael Worahnik GmbH has been one of the leading suppliers of tinsmith products in Austria for 50 years. To achieve this, the company has had to consistently ensure a high level of quality and good customer service. The company operates its headquarters in Köttlach with a 5000m2 warehouse. Around 8,000 different items are stored here on Euro pallets as well as special pallets for gutters and drainpipes up to 6 meters in length.
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.
Building materials manufacturer HIANSA sandwich panels
HIANSA has experienced numerous benefits through the acquisition of our HUBTEX multi-directional forklifts. Thanks to the environmentally friendly and reliable electric solution, HIANSA has been able to maintain the demanding performance without generating pollutant exhaust emissions.
Building material 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.
Manufacturer of solar protection systems Giménez Ganga
At Giménez Ganga they handle long loads of 6 meters long in aisles 3 meters wide. This requires the use of side-loading forklifts.
As operations were carried out indoors, another fundamental requirement was that they had to have an electric motor, which is why HUBTEX met all the requirements to a large extent.
Elevator manufacturer ORONA
Very narrow aisles, a high level of storage, the need to handle very heavy and bulky loads, as well as long loads such as lifting rails, required a solution that allows optimizing the available space to use it for other functions in the production process.
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.
Lumber 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.
V-ZUG AG
Co-determination is something quite natural in Switzerland. This applies not only to petitions for a referendum at municipal, cantonal and federal level, but also sometimes to workplace surveys. The best example is V-ZUG AG, which specialises in high-quality kitchen and washroom appliances. When the purchase of a new multidirectional sideloader was on the agenda here in 2014, the employees involved in the raw materials warehouse were involved in the decision.
