Pipe transporter used at Brugg
Owing to the pipe drums having become heavier, both the old special transporters in use at Brugg Rohrsysteme (Switzerland) had reached their limit. The susceptibility to breakdowns increased, the downtimes were longer as well and the productivity was unsatisfactory. Therefore, Brugg commissioned the specialist from Fulda, Hubtex, to find a new solution in the form of a special machine for moving up to 12 t of heavy pipe drums. Just six months passed from the first idea, through the intermediate in-spection and up to final shipment.
Kronospan Swiss AG

Sewage treatment plant Koblenz
For waste disposal logistics, special equipment manufacturer Hubtex initially provides three basic versions. These variants differ in the type of load suspension, either via lifting gear, lifting rail or fork mounting. All vehicles can be equipped with an electric, diesel or gas engine depending on the application. In the Koblenz sewage treatment plant, for example, an electrically operated dump truck type CT-E 140 with lifting gear facilitates the logistical processes in the container terminal and outdoors.
Gaugler & Lutz oHG
Effective materials handling and warehouse management is crucial to the success of a company, which is why Gaugler & Lutz oHG is banking on an intelligent storage system at its new logistics centre in Aalen-Ebnat (Nord).

The pallets are transported around the warehouse by two MQ 30 electric multidirectional sideloaders.
V-ZUG AG
Co-determination is something completely natural in Switzerland. This does not only apply to referendums on community, canton or federal level, but sometimes also for interviews in the workplace. The best example is V-ZUG AG, which specializes in high-quality kitchen and washroom appliances. When the purchase of a new multi-directional sideloader was planned, the affected employees in the raw materials warehouse were included in the decision.
SBB Rail Technology Center Hägendorf
Punctual and reliable: The Deutsche Bahn rarely hears such praise. In contrast, the Swiss Federal Railways enjoy an excellent image, which is partly due to the careful maintenance of their infrastructure. Around 600 of the 13,000 switches in the more than 3,000 kilometers of rail network are replaced every year. The production of these switches and other preventive and maintenance measures are part of the range of tasks of the SBB Rail Technology Center Hägendorf (BTC).
