Heavy duty cable drum handling with a low lift truck

Genkinger Trucks

North American operations that move steel coils, cable reels, and other heavy, awkward loads need equipment that is safe, compact, and purpose built. On this page we introduce selected Genkinger solutions on the HUBTEX platform, engineered Low Lift Truck and High Lift Truck models for precise Coil handling and other Specialized heavy duty handling solutions. Genkinger is part of the HUBTEX Group, combining decades of application expertise with global service coverage.

Low Lift Truck: Ground level power, maximum stability

Genkinger Low Lift Truck platforms, walk behind or rider, are ideal for ground level moves up to line side delivery. Key advantages:

  • Low pick heights for fast changeovers and reduced operator strain
  • High traction electric drive for smooth starts on polished industrial floors
  • Integrated coil cradles, reel mandrels, or V attachments to prevent load rotation during acceleration, braking, and cornering
  • Compact chassis options for narrow aisles and dock congestion

Use cases include steel service centers, wire and cable manufacturing, paper and film converters, and automotive stamping plants.

High Lift Truck: Precise stacking and elevated transfers

When stacking, racking, or feeding machines at height, Genkinger High Lift Truck solutions offer controlled vertical travel and fine positioning:

  • Rigid mast designs with proportional lift and lower for delicate Coil handling at tooling infeed points
  • Straddle and counterbalanced configurations for varying drum diameters and pallet footprints
  • Visibility optimized mast and carriage layouts to keep the load and fork tips in clear view
  • Optional side shift and tilt functions to align coils or reels without re spotting

Genkinger: Built for heavy duty, tuned to your process

Every application is different. Genkinger systems scale from frequent short shuttle runs to continuous multi shift duty, with battery technologies and charging concepts tailored to throughput. Attachments are quick to change, control interfaces are intuitive, and safety options such as load backrests, end of stroke damping, and speed dependent cornering support consistent, incident free operation.
