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.
STIHL Tirol
STIHL Tirol, a leading manufacturer of forestry and gardening equipment based in Langkampfen, which also produces chainsaws, was faced with the challenge of optimizing the internal transport of machine parts and system components. The FLUX 70 multidirectional counterbalance trucks present themselves as an outstanding solution for the requirements of the Austrian production site of the STIHL Group in the area of transporting machine parts and storing and retrieving the heavy-duty racking system.
Volkswagen plant Wolfsburg
A new multidirectional tool changer from the special purpose vehicles manufacturer HUBTEX was especially designed for the application at the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg Germany for transporting and changing injection moulding tools.
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.
