Aluminum transport
The appropriate specification for a multidirectional sideloader or special-purpose vehicle varies depending on the application. Extrusion plants, aluminum wholesalers or manufacturers of windows and gates have different requirements. HUBTEX offers a very wide range of products here, offering users the appropriate solution for handling aluminum materials.
Task areas
The electric multidirectional counterbalance forklift
The FluX is a counterbalance forklift for the combined handling of pallets and long goods. It is suitable, for example, for production plants needing to transport both long aluminum profiles and pallets. What makes the FluX unique is its patented steering system with smooth changes of direction in combination with the compact frame length and the fixed lift mast.
The electric multidirectional sideloader (3-wheel)
The HUBTEX DS 30 represents the entry-level variant for the electric multidirectional sideloader. Due to its predominant use in retail or in manufacturing companies, it is the right solution for the aluminum industry. Its low entry height allows fast entry and exit of the vehicle. Loads of up to 6,600 lbs can be transported in combined indoor and outdoor applications.
The electric multidirectional sideloader
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. At the same time, the distance between the rack rows can be minimized and the storage capacity increased.
MU-OP and MU-SO electric multidirectional order picking trucks
Due to their rising cab, these multidirectional order picking trucks are suited for the order picking of individual aluminum profiles and pipes directly from the racking. In the 1-man version, the standup cab is positioned centrally in front of the mast, while in the 2-man version the cabs are configured next to the lift mast.
Electric multidirectional sideloader with removable order picking platform KP
The electric multidirectional sideloader can be quickly converted into an order picking vehicle with the addition of a platform. The operator controls the system from the platform. Another operator can manually pick the aluminum profiles directly onto the vehicle.
EZK electric double-sided order picking platform with 2-mast lift or scissor lift
The EZK order picking platform is particularly suitable for high handling capacities. The platform is characterized by a two-sided rack operation. The vehicle is available with a host of equipment variants, for example for positioning or centering the vehicle in the aisle and strapping the goods for further transportation.
Heavy-duty compact forklift
The HUBTEX RoxX compact forklift with electric drive transports aluminum coils weighing up to 66,600 lbs. The compact forklift is characterized by its very compact external dimensions. In particular, the patented steering system ensures minimum turning radii, thereby enabling more storage space to be used.
Platform truck
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 to the respective application. A wide range of chassis and operating concepts is available for these vehicles as well as concepts for automation.
Reach truck
The HUBTEX SQ reach truck is characterized by its compact design and its high load capacity of up to 13,200 lbs. Thanks to its size, the truck can also be used in aisles of the same width as conventional reach trucks.
Special-purpose vehicles
Time and again, situations arise in logistics where there is seemingly no appropriate solution for the loads to be transported. But there is always a solution. Our many years of experience will enable us to create a customized solution for you.

CASE STUDIES
What our customers and partners say about our products and services.
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.
