Coil
transport
HUBTEX vehicles offer you a wide range of transport solutions for coils. We use various solutions to adapt the vehicle to the specific requirements of our customers. Whether the coils are to be picked up in a standing, lying or suspended position, we can offer you the right solution. The spectrum ranges from platform vehicles through electric multidirectional sideloaders to heavy-duty compact forklifts.
Task areas
The heavy-duty compact forklift from HUBTEX
The HUBTEX RoxX compact forklift with electric drive transports sheet metal, aluminum or copper coils weighing up to 66,000 lbs. The compact forklift is characterized by its very compact external dimensions, in comparison with competing products. In particular, the patented steering system ensures minimum turning radii, thereby enabling more storage space to be used.
The platform truck from HUBTEX
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 for the respective application. A wide range of chassis and operating concepts is available as well as different concepts for automation of these vehicles. In this regard, our SFB platform trucks find their perfect use in coil transport.
Electric towing tractor with gooseneck
The HUBTEX electric towing tractor with hydraulic gooseneck is suitable for handling cargo trailers when coils are to be transported frequently, quickly and reliably. The vehicles are individually adapted to the customer's wishes, guaranteeing an optimal dovetailing of the in-house processes.
The electric multidirectional sideloader from HUBTEX
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.
The heavy-duty electric multidirectional sideloader
Our “power packs” are particularly suited to the universal transport of a wide variety of coil variants. All possible loads – whether very heavy or bulky – can be transported using a heavy-duty electric multidirectional sideloader. It can also be used in narrow aisles or freely both indoors and outdoors. In addition, the models within the series can be adapted to suit all individual customer requirements.
The coil transporter from HUBTEX
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.
The reach truck from HUBTEX
The HUBTEX SQ reach truck is characterized by its compact design combined with its high load capacity of up to 13,200 lbs. Thanks to its size, the reach truck can also be used in aisles of the same width as conventional reach trucks. Handling heavy coils is child's play with our reach truck. Thanks to its significantly higher load capacities, it puts other lift trucks in the shade. In addition, the energy-efficient control system enables long battery operating times.
We know the best solution.

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.
