OUR PRODUCT RANGE FOR THE AVIATION INDUSTRY IS DIVIDED INTO INTRA-LOGISTICS AND ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS.FUSELAGE TRANSPORTERS

FUSELAGE TRANSPORTERS

Platform trucks and rail-mounted trucks are self-propelled vehicles for the handling and transport of all types of heavy loads such as aircraft segments and fuselages

MOBILIZATION OF WORK PLATFORMS AND STATIONARY INSTALLATIONS

These HUBTEX vehicles lift work platforms in coupled operation. The target position under the load is approached accurately and collision-free with the aid of a sensor-supported assistance system. Another mobilization solution is the combination of electrically steered drive units and load wheel units. These units can be retrofitted to stationary work platforms in order to upgrade them to a mobile system through coupling operation.

MOBILE ASSEMBLY AND SUPPLY PLATFORMS

HUBTEX assembly and work platforms are used in various work steps within the aircraft assembly. They reliably bring the fitters and the material to the desired position on the fuselage.

EASY

Entry-level vehicle for use indoors | Capacity up to 2 t | 4-wheel vehicle

The EASY is specially designed for use indoors with good floor conditions. It is always recommended when a 4-wheel fourway sideloader is required for light operations.

WORTH KNOWING ABOUT THE MULTIDIRECTIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRUCK

Wherever long loads are transported, loaded or unloaded, the sideloader is in its element. The sideloader is preferably used in external warehouses in the wood, building materials and steel industries. The trucks are available with diesel, gas or electric drive and set standards in terms of energy efficiency, economy and ergonomics with their high driving speeds and narrow cab design. Sideloaders are characterised by high travel speeds, large ground clearance and a wide range of tyre options. The trucks are suitable for transporting long goods in narrow aisles or can also be freely manoeuvred for fast and safe transport. Hubtex has specialised in the manufacture of special sideloaders. These combine the advantages of conventional sideloaders with the requirements for operation in narrow aisles.

A side loader is a forklift truck equipped with a side-mounted mast and a loading platform. Long goods can thus be picked up without turning off. In addition to load capacity and lifting height, the tires are the most important factor to be able to specify a truck that is optimally adapted to the requirements. Residual load capacity and stability, platform height and ground clearance are determined by the tires. The lateral load pick-up of the load is effected via the mast using mast extension, usually via two cylinders crossed over each other with end position damping in both end positions. The mast is thereby pushed to the load. The chassis of the device is brought into the optimum position for load absorption and load securing using platform inclination.

HUBTEX always tries to adapt its vehicles ideally to the respective application requirements. For this reason HUBTEX offers vehicles with 48V as well as 80V voltage, especially in the load capacity classes 3.0 to 4.5 t. As a matter of principle, HUBTEX does not offer vehicles in the load capacity range from 1.5 to 3 tons with a voltage of 80V. Here are some arguments:
PER 48 V (LOAD CAPACITY CLASS 1500 KG – 4500 KG):

  • compact short design to allow small turning radii
  • and to better enable block storage
  • cheaper energy package in case of replacement procurement; also an important factor
  • in the analysis of multi-shift operations
  • lower weight of the vehicle, which leads to longer battery life
  • and less wear on the wheels leads to
  • Almost identical energy content with the same installation space
  • Comparison of the energy content: 48 V x 930 Ah = 44.6 kW/hour |
  • 80 V x 600 Ah = 48.0 kW/hour
  • cheaper control components, cheaper spare parts
  • for drive technology and working hydraulics

PER 80 V (LOAD CAPACITY CLASS 3000 KG – 10,000 KG):

  • higher load capacities
  • more performance due to larger pumps and motors
  • slightly higher battery power
  • Reduction of power losses, as less heat is generated by higher tension

Unlike other types of forklift trucks, sideloaders usually have a platform inclination. These are cylinders installed on the platform side and corresponding to each other, which ensure constant compensation for uneven floors and keep the load safe and stable during transport. The inclination of the chassis brings the truck into the optimum position for load pickup and load securing.

The mast reach of a sideloader is usually carried out by two cylinders crossed over each other with end position damping in both end positions. This protects the equipment and goods.

Both vehicles are basically sideloaders, but in different versions. When long loads have to be transported quickly over long distances on poor surfaces, the conventional sideloader shows its advantages. Multidirectional sideloaders, on the other hand, have their advantages when space is limited due to their high manoeuvrability and can therefore play out their advantages especially in combined indoor and outdoor use.

Both vehicle types are basically suitable for long goods transport. Depending on the area of application, however, there are differences between the vehicles due to their construction, function and dimensions. If there is sufficient space available to the user and/or the main part of all loads are Euro pallets and only rarely long goods and if only a hall application is planned, then a customer will certainly tend towards a four-way reach truck or a normal reach truck.
However, if the customer frequently has long goods loads and uneven floors made of asphalt or composite stone paving, then multidirectional sideloaders have clear advantages due to

  • narrow width of the machine and therefore small turning radius,
  • the load depth and load bed depth of the truck are identical
  • the large mast feed = load depth + 100 mm,
  • the 4-wheel chassis in a wide and stable frame and therefore better stability,
  • the possibility of rail guidance,
  • the two-part pendulum chassis to compensate for uneven ground,
  • the vibration-damped driver’s cab,
  • the electronic 4-wheel steering system with 8 steering programs for precise movements,
  • the two drive wheels and two double load wheels
  • the larger wheel dimensions
  • alternatively a soft elastic tyre for use on asphalt,
  • the good view of the load or forks,
  • of the identical length of the long fork carriage with the frame length,
  • Constant vehicle width despite long fork carriage
  • smaller “b”/”l2” dimension than for reach trucks

HUBTEX has been producing 4-way forklifts since 2001 and accordingly a large number of interesting used trucks are now available. Before they are sold, they are renewed by experienced technicians at the HUBTEX manufacturing plant and brought into a very good condition.
Due to the exclusive use of original spare parts your forklift truck remains an original HUBTEX. Our service advisors offer you the highest transparency for the development of your maintenance costs. Individually tailored maintenance concepts offer you a clearly calculable cost structure. On request, we can analyse your previous maintenance costs and show you potential savings. This means that even the investment in a used device can become a long-term investment.
