See HUBTEX at FABTECH & SMU Steel Summit

Join HUBTEX at two key 2025 events for the steel industry: SMU Steel Summit (Aug 25–27, Georgia International Convention Center, Atlanta) and FABTECH Chicago (Sept 8–11, McCormick Place, Booth A5443). See how our multidirectional sideloaders cut damage, save space, and make narrow-aisle handling easy—now with Aisle Entry Assistant. Book a meeting to review your layout and loads.

Clean, centered aisle entry—every time

Rail-guided racks leave little room for error. Scraped uprights, dented stock, and costly truck repairs often start with a slightly off-center approach. The Aisle Entry Assistant uses a laser sensor to detect the metal guide rails and automatically centers the multidirectional sideloader before it steers into the aisle. No warning beeps—just precise auto-alignment that helps protect loads, racks, and trucks while making every operator consistent.

What’s new in heavy long-load handling—at a glance

The new HUBTEX Phoenix 2840

Meet the new 2840: 

A modular PHOENIX multidirectional sideloader you can tailor to your workflow—choose from multiple stand-up cab/chassis setups and joystick or fingertip controls to boost storage density in tight aisles. With capacities up to 13,200 lb and lift heights to 393 in, it handles bars, plate, profiles, and coils with confidence. A two-piece articulating chassis keeps optimal ground contact for smoother rides and less frame stress on rough floors. Add options like Aisle Entry Assistant and HUBTEX Load Manager (199 programmable locations) to speed cycles and cut rack/stock damage.

ROXX | Heavy-duty compact forklift

The ROXX is our electric heavy-duty compact forklift built for tight spaces. It handles 17,600–66,000 lb while being up to 25% narrower and about 20% shorter than comparable forklifts, with a free-view mast for excellent visibility. Optional patented single-wheel electric steering can cut the turning radius by about 50%, improving maneuverability indoors and out. The all-electric drive is quiet and low-maintenance, and the tilting cab plus modular layout make servicing fast.
