The world's first sensory aisle entry assistant is available

Do you have rail-guided racks in your warehouse? Then you know these problems: damaged loads, damaged trucks and damaged racks. Maybe even some more serious problems. The aisle entry assistant helps your drivers with the entry by automatically cantering the multidirectional sideloader in front of the aisle. 

The system uses raw data from a laser scanner that determines the distance and orientation of the vehicle relative to the center line of the narrow aisle. The assistance system uses this information to center the forklift in front of and parallel with the aisle. The forklift can thus enter the aisle with no risk of collision thus preventing damage to the warehouse and to the vehicle’s mechanical guide aids as well as protecting the driver from injury. This is because they will not need to leave their vehicle if their view is obscured in order to get a better look at the aisle.

No multidirectional sideloader is more maneuverable

With the HX multidirectional steering system, HUBTEX is setting innovative standards for its core product multidirectional sideloaders with electric drive. Using the optionally available multidirectional steering system enables the trucks to change without stopping from longitudinal to transverse drive. This lessens the time needed to switch wheels, provides excellent maneuverability and has the added benefit of significantly reducing wear.

HIT3 OPERATOR TERMINAL

With the further development of the HUBTEX Information Terminal, HUBTEX is consistently continuing its journey towards Industry 4.0. As a component of all multidirectional sideloaders, the new HIT3 provides information on all relevant operating conditions. The complete documentation of all operating data enables the system to identify optimization potentials in the warehouse. The multifunctional display with its new visualization provides the driver with all the information on the wheel position, speed and battery status of the sideloader in a simple graphic display. Compared with its predecessor, the new HUBTEX information terminal has numerous improved features.

REMOTE MAINTENANCE

A remote maintenance system is available for most HUBTEX electric multidirectional sideloaders. The IoT solution transfers important vehicle data, such as fault codes and battery charge status, to a cloud. In the event of a sideloader malfunction, HUBTEX engineers access the truck’s data directly and provide fast assistance. Users benefit from maximum machine availability and minimized production downtime. Retrofitting on used vehicles is also possible.

All main driving and hydraulic functions are controlled from a single ergonomically designed joystick developed by HUBTEX. Desired movements such as lifting, lowering, mast reach, fork tilt and fork positioning can be quickly and safely activated without having to constantly change grip. The HIT3 information terminal provides information about all operating conditions of the sideloader. The multifunctional display provides the driver with all the information on the wheel position, speed and battery status of the fourway sideloader in a clear graphic display.

Tire equipment

HUBTEX recommends polyurethane tires (PU) for use on even industrial floors and, optionally, soft elastic tires (EL) for poor ground or floor conditions or for outdoor use to preserve the vehicle components and the driver’s health.

Articulated frame
Our well-known articulated frame on the electric multidirectional sideloaders

The two-piece articulated chassis frame ensures all wheels have permanent contact with the floor. There is immediate compensation for any uneven floor or ground. This protects the components and the health of the operator. Cracks in the chassis frame are excluded.

Lift masts and fork carriages

The stable and strong lift masts produced in-house score with internal, protected hydraulics and high residual capacity. HUBTEX manufactures different lift masts and fork carriages for the safe and efficient handling of all loads. A hydraulic fork adjusting device and a side shifter are available as options.

 

Camera systems

With large lift heights or unclear drive-in situations, cameras are an important aid for the driver. They increase the safety, improve the driver’s view during stacking and help to cover blind spots. We use camera systems and monitors exclusively from well-known manufacturers and recommend the appropriate camera system depending on the drive-in situation, whether it is to be mounted on the fork, on the fork carriage, the lift mast or is for monitoring the route.  New are our 360° panoramic vision systems.

Forks

HUBTEX can offer you forks for every application. As an essential component of the vehicle, they must meet particular requirements. The use of high-quality materials ensures the
lowest possible wear and high load capacities. The realization of special forks is the order of the day.
 

Track guidance systems

HUBTEX offers three different track guidance systems for narrow aisle solutions for the maximum utilization of the available storage space. This means that safety distances can be reduced to 100 mm on each side. Depending on requirements, we recommend mechanical roller guidance via guide rollers, wire and optical track guidance.

Personal protection systems

Our mobile HUBTEX personal protection system is automatically activated when the rack aisle is entered and it permanently monitors the rack aisle by means of two laser scanners. If the laser scanners detect persons or obstacles within the protection field in the aisle, your HUBTEX multidirectional sideloader will be automatically brought to a standstill.

Battery and charging technology

A wide range of different battery types and chargers is available for HUBTEX lift trucks. We first analyze your application and then recommend the appropriate battery size based on this. In addition to a wide range of different types of lead-acid battery, all series of our multidirectional sideloaders are also available with lithium-ion batteries.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HERE YOU WILL FIND ANSWERS TO THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hubtex has been successively introducing the new PhoeniX platform to the market since 2019. What is the multidirectional forklift PhoeniX from Hubtex?

Der neue Phoenix von HUBTEX

Our new development platform Phoenix is an electric multidirectional sideloader which is specially designed for handling long loads in narrow aisles. Within the series, the forklifts can be adapted to the individual requirements of the customers. With HUBTEX sideloaders narrow aisles can be driven through without any problems. The distances between the rack rows can be reduced to a minimum, thus creating additional space for further storage. HUBTEX thus provides increased storage capacity and, as a result, offers optimum utilisation of storage space.
We are planning to replace all electric multidirectional sideloaders with pendulum frame by vehicles of the PhoeniX series. Thus the PhoeniX series will successively replace the vehicles of our proven ESTL modular system. The series limits between 48 V and 80 V will be fluid. With the PhoeniX series, we want to revolutionise our largest modular system for electric multidirectional sideloaders in the industry and offer users new possibilities for efficient handling of long loads. With our additional MaxX and BasiX construction kits, we have the right solution for every application in long-bar handling and the widest product portfolio when it comes to the subject of multidirectional forklifts. More information about the new Phoenix you can find here.

What is the unique selling point of the PhoeniX modular system?

With our PhoeniX series, a purely electric steering system is available for the first time for a complete electric multidirectional sideloader kit. The steering noises are reduced to a minimum. In addition, the electric steering leads to a significantly lower energy consumption. Users achieve an enormous gain in efficiency when combining the steering system with inductive track guidance. The PhoeniX can be easily manoeuvred in all directions thanks to the optionally available, patented HX steering, which makes the driver's daily work much easier.
