Coil Handling & Transport Solutions
Looking for reliable steel coil handling equipment? HUBTEX designs electric coil handling forklifts, steel coil material handling equipment such as platform transporters and AGVs, and coil loading equipment for safe, space-efficient moves in mills and service centers. Whether you handle vertical- or horizontal-eye coils, we tailor vehicles to your load, aisle width, and process, from compact multidirectional forklifts to heavy-duty coil transporters.
Task areas
Coil Handling Forklifts
The HUBTEX RoxX combines high capacity with a small turning radius for safe, efficient moves of steel, aluminum, or copper coils. Lower energy/maintenance than diesel, ideal for indoor use and yard transfers. Electric coil handling forklift for tight spaces and heavy loads.
Steel Coil Material Handling Equipment
The HUBTEX Heavy-duty platform transporters form the backbone of steel coil material handling equipment. Low decks, customizable beds, and AGV options enable safe, repeatable coil moves between storage and processing, scalable for long routes and high volumes.
Electric towing tractor with gooseneck
Reliable coil loading equipment for docks and trailer moves. The HUBTEX Electric towing tractor with hydraulic gooseneck couples fast to coil trailers, standardizing transfers and protecting coil edges with smooth acceleration and controlled braking.
The electric multidirectional sideloader from HUBTEX
Boost space utilization in narrow aisles with electric multidirectional trucks, an agile part of our steel coil handling equipment. Multidirectional travel reduces correction moves and supports precise positioning for coils on cradles, racks, or carriers.
Heavy-Duty Electric Multidirectional Sideloaders for Steel Coil Handling
Our heavy-duty electric multidirectional sideloader is a versatile cornerstone of steel coil handling equipment. It safely moves very heavy or bulky coil variants in narrow aisles and open areas, indoors and outdoors. Multidirectional travel shortens approach times and protects product quality, while modular options tailor the truck to your coil dimensions, cradles, floor conditions, and processes, making it a flexible part of your steel coil material handling equipment portfolio.
Coil Transporters for Steel or Copper Coil Handling
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.
Reach Trucks for Coil Handling
The HUBTEX NexX reach truck combines a compact footprint with high load capacity up to 13,200 lbs, making it ideal for narrow aisles comparable to conventional reach trucks. As part of our steel coil handling equipment, it enables stable, precise coil moves on cradles or carriers. The energy-efficient control system extends battery run time, while robust mast and chassis design support repeatable, damage-free handling in space-constrained storage and staging areas.

CASE STUDIES
What our customers and partners say about our products and services.
AGC Seapane
At AGC Seapane in Zeebrugge, Belgium, two HUBTEX multidirectional sideloaders move empty and loaded glass racks every day between the warehouse, the loading bay, and external storage areas, as well as for truck loading. One HUBTEX MQ 30 has been in operation for almost 15 years. Since early 2024, the fleet has been expanded with a PHOENIX MQ 30 featuring 3-ton capacity and multidirectional steering. After trialing a competitor truck and then returning to the proven technology, this combination delivers high availability, short transit times, and consistently stable operations.
Hardware and DIY distributor LAMIPLAST
In the Hardware & DIY sector, where space utilization is crucial, Lamiplast needed to optimize its intralogistics to store materials up to 6 meters long and operate safely in narrow aisles. High daily throughput required a multidirectional electric sideloader offering greater maneuverability, fewer maneuvers, and precise handling of a wide variety of loads. With the HUBTEX PHOENIX MQ, Lamiplast makes better use of every square meter of warehouse space while working more efficiently and comfortably.
Tigris Building Solutions
Tigris Building Solutions in Plombières, Belgium, handles pallets as well as long loads such as timber profiles and sheet material every day in tight aisles, indoors and outdoors. To cover truck loading, in house transport, and machine feeding flexibly and efficiently without additional vehicles, the company relies on two HUBTEX FLUX 30 units and one HUBTEX MQ 45. The long standing partnership with HUBTEX and the planned expansion of the fleet underscore the value these solutions deliver in day to day operations.
