Skip and container
transport
Wastewater treatment plants, waste incineration plants and waste disposal plants rely primarily on skips and containers as load carriers in their logistics. For economical overall processes, these quickly reach a weight of over 22,000 lbs, which can no longer be handled efficiently with standard lift trucks. HUBTEX has developed its own skip and container transporters with a load capacity of up to 55,000 lbs especially for this area of application. Depending on requirements, they come with either an electric drive, diesel or gas drive. The HUBTEX container and skip transporters can be individually adapted to different container sizes.
Individual container sizes:
Depending on the requirement, different load handling variants are available.
TASK AREAS
Skip transporter (CT)
The HUBTEX skip/container transporter is available with two different load handling options, chain slung or swivel arms.
In the version with swivel arms, the truck straddles the skip, the swivel arms extend hydraulically and lift without the driver leaving the cab.
When lifting the loads with conventional chains, the truck straddles the skip, the lifting gear is hitched manually on both sides and the load is then lifted.
Heavy-duty transport systems
Our customers have very diverse wishes and requirements when it comes to transport processes for their containers and skips. Our heavy-duty transport systems, such as the platform truck and the rail-mounted truck, can also be used to transport particularly heavy containers or skips. The surface of the platform or rail-mounted truck is designed depending on the load to be transported – both flat designs and recessed versions with holding rods for containers are possible.
We know the best solution.
We know that handling heavy loads in confined spaces presents users with special challenges. Arrange a non-binding consultation appointment with our specialists to obtain the best possible solution for your application.
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.
