GTR glass frame transporter

by HUBTEX

With its energy-efficient, low-noise and powerful electric drive, the GTI glass frame transporter from HUBTEX achieves load capacities of up to 42 tons.  The elevated driver position provides the best possible visibility and highest safety standard during operation. The ergonomic cab entry with non-slip steps and handrail helps to protect the safety of the operator. The synchronous vertical lift of the frame eliminates displacement and ensures maximum precision during the lifting movement. The strengthened glass clamps with ultrasonic sensors prevent glass breaking and other damage during transport. We offer an optimized tire alternative based on how the vehicle is used.

REMOTE MAINTENANCE

A remote maintenance system is available for most HUBTEX electric glass frame transporters. 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.

THE RECEPTION OF THE GLASS FRAME

The frame is lifted safely, precisely and without offset thanks to the special vertical stroke. To prevent damage to the glass panes during transport, they are held in place by four hydraulic safety devices. The ultrasonic sensors mounted on each claw prevent excessive pressure from being exerted on the glass package to be transported. This reduces glass breakage to a minimum.

FEATURES

Task and load profile for GTR glass frame transporter
the HUBTEX GTR 330 with LES stillage

HUBTEX glass frame transporters are used in the plate glass industry for the transport of inloader stillages in A and L form of up to 42 tons. The glass stillage is picked up by synchronous lifting the chassis. The special vertical lift guarantees secure and precise lifting of the stillage, without displacement. The glass sheets are secured during transport by four hydraulic clamps. Outsized load and drive wheels in polyurethane or as soft tires allow for use in different in-house environments.

Horizontal standard glass clamps for minimum glass heights of 2400 mm. Optionally available are vertical glass clamps with increased retention force at minimum glass heights of 1600 mm. The ultrasonic sensors mounted on each clamp pad prevent pressure on the glass pack. We also offer a third pair of clamp pads as an option. With this feature, LES glass stillages can be secured and transported in the middle of the lift truck.

Safety and assistance systems

A comprehensive range of safety and assistance systems completes the configuration of the glass frame transporter. For example, camera systems, anti-collision scanners and specially integrated sensors are used to prevent glass breakage and to increase safety for personnel.

Driver's stand and operation

The GTR is equipped with steps, making entry very ergonomic. The lift trucks are available with a driver's stand with 2 control panels, one of which can be moved to both sides for better visibility when driving with a glass stillage in place, or with a closed sit-down cab for combined indoor and outdoor use. Typical features such as heating, windscreen wipers etc. are available as options.

The operation of all hydraulic functions as well as the pre-selection of the direction of travel is carried out sensitively and with absolute precision via the modern generation of joysticks developed by HUBTEX. The desired movements can be made quickly and safely without having to constantly change grip. The HIT information terminal provides information about all operating conditions of the sideloader. The multifunctional display provides the driver with all the information on the lift height, speed and battery status of the GTR in a clear graphic display.

Tire equipment

For applications on smooth industrial floors, we use HUBTEX polyurethane tires (PU). Alternatively, we offer soft tires optimized to your application.

Battery and charging technology
HUBTEX Li-ion battery

Choosing the appropriate battery and charging technology is a crucial factor for energy-efficient and cost-effective operation. 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 selection of different types of lead-acid battery, all series of our multidirectional sideloaders are also available with lithium-ion batteries.
