The transport of heavy and bulky loads presents a particular challenge. HUBTEX is able to meet this challenge with heavy-duty platforms in its new SFX series. The compact, self-propelled heavy-duty transport vehicles for indoor and outdoor use have a large loading area for transporting bulky, heavy loads.

  •  Electric drive, quiet and environmentally friendly
  •  Electric battery, maintenance-free AC drive technology
  •  2-way and multidirectional steering
  •  Four different operating variants (cabin, driver station, remote control or automation)
  •  Robust design

 

The SFX heavy-duty platform transporter in action

Heavy-duty transport with the SFX
Benefit from a coordinated vehicle concept

Typical applications would be in-plant heavy-duty transport within the automotive and aviation industries and especially along the value chain of the metal processing industry, from foundry to trade to processing, and many other areas for example in mechanical engineering. A solution tailor made to the application will offer you maximum benefit, high vehicle availability and a long service life.

Modular system for individual adaptations

The high degree of modularity offered by the new heavy-duty platforms makes these vehicles adaptable to a wide range of applications. The frame of the new SFX is divided into three fixed areas front axle, rear axle and center section. Variability at the interfaces of the subassemblies facilitates order-specific adaptation of the length and width compatible to the transport task. Prefabricated modules, such as the wheel stool or the load wheel and drive rocker guarantee universal vehicle standards.

Steering systems suitable for every application

There are two different steering systems available for our platform transporters. We will recommend the appropriate option for you based on your aisle widths and drive-in situations. The 2-way steering is the standard variant for many applications. With small aisle widths, multidirectional steering is often recommended.

Simple and proven operation

The standard operation of our platform transporters is via radio remote control. Operation is via joysticks for precision control, button for emergency stop, horn as well as flexibly expandable options. If necessary, a cable remote control can also be used. This can be connected to the vehicle via several plug-in ports. Alternatively, operation can be from a cabin or driver station. This is especially suitable for journeys over long distances. Should drivers be required to get on and off the vehicle frequently, a variant with a stand up cabin is recommended.

 

Equipment
For comfortable and efficient handling

Blei Säure Batterie im Einsatz

Custom-fit battery and charging concept

A lead-acid or lithium-ion battery is available as an option for our SFX heavy-duty transporters. Classic lead-acid batteries have a charging time of five and a half to fourteen hours depending on the type of battery charger, with an average of 1200 charging cycles and comparatively low investment costs. These batteries reach their capacity limits in multi-shift usage with high operating hours. In this setting, we recommend either a battery change or a lithium-ion battery. These can be fully charged from one hour, offer unlimited boost charging, have a low weight and can complete up to 6000 cycles.

Two steering systems to choose from

There are two different steering systems available for our heavy-duty platforms. We will recommend the appropriate option for you based on your aisle widths and drive-in situations. The 2-way steering is the standard variant for many applications. Where the vehicle is longer or the aisle narrower, the multidirectional steering of all wheels with longitudinal and transverse, circular and diagonal travel is the most important feature.

Variable in length and width

The HUBTEX frame is divided into three fixed areas. The front, rear axle and center section are fixed subassemblies. Due to the variability at the interfaces, the length and width of the frame can be adapted in line with the transport dimensions. HUBTEX steel construction is characterized by the highest quality standards. Different coating options guarantee the best handling conditions, for example you can choose between the normal standard version made from steel or from various load protection coatings such as wood and plastic.

Drive under, lift & transport

Our heavy-duty transport platforms are optionally available with a lift function. As standard, the vehicles have a compact platform height from 910 mm. The lift function can be performed either via cylinder or via elevating platform. There are also special designs available which, thanks to their compact chassis, allow entry heights from a minimum of 457 mm.

“Small but perfectly formed” – Minimum overall height

The heavy-duty platform with the lowest overall height in the HUBTEX portfolio at just 457 mm has a load capacity of up to 35 tons. Impressively, the vehicle also has a platform lift of 203 mm. This means that the platform transporter, which is equipped with a wide variety of assistance systems, can independently drive under the load, lift it and transport it away.

Double the total load capacity in coupling mode

Coupling mode is yet another innovative equipment option. This enables the wireless coupling of two vehicle elements. It creates a robust heavy-duty transport system with double the total load capacity of an individual platform. During transport, both platforms remain in permanent communication and can be operated together via radio remote control or completely automated if necessary.

Movable heavy-duty platform

In order to be able to react flexibly to different load lengths, the upper platform may be moved if required. This offers flexible options for the transport of load racks, molded parts or installations.
