If there is no platform fitted, the vehicle functions as a conventional electric multidirectional sideloader. These are already designed for handling long loads in their basic configuration, even in narrow aisles. 
A great advantage of these vehicles is that they can be supplemented by a large number of other equipment options. 

For use as a pure order picking vehicle, the multidirectional sideloader is supplemented by a removable platform, the attachment takes maximum five minutes. The operator then controls the system from the platform. They pick the sheets either alone or in conjunction with another operator directly from the rack compartments to the vehicle. 

The electronics are configured in such a way that, if required, two control panels can also be installed. For the best possible view, the front panel in the direction of travel is always activated.

In order to further reduce the risk of damage to the materials, a vacuum suction device can be optionally added to the picking platform of the HUBTEX electric multidirectional sideloader. Extendible suction cups extract individual sheets from the rack compartment and then deposit them again directly on the platform. In this case, only one person is required for operation. The great advantage of this modular solution is its flexibility. The multidirectional sideloader can be used cost-effectively for both load handling and order picking with a medium handling capacity.
