HUBTEX to unveil the second generation of its FluX series

HUBTEX announces the three wheel FluX electric multidirectional counterbalance forklift truck some innovative updates.

The latest generation HUBTEX forklift for load capacities of up to three tonnes is making its debut at LogiMAT 2023. Visitors to the LogiMAT trade fair will be able to see the new central drivers’ position, which provides a higher-up all-round visibility compared to its predecessor. Additionally, the patented 360° HX steering has been added to the compact three-wheel running gear for the first time, ensuring smooth changes in direction from longitudinal to transverse travel.

Powerful and manoeuvrable

The switch from a four to a three-wheel running system has done nothing to impair the features that people have come to expect from HUBTEX in terms of ergonomics and freedom of movement. For instance, the new FluX has retained the spoked steering wheel and joystick for userfriendly operation as well as the spacious driver’s cab, providing the operator with greater comfort, for those jobs that can end up taking a little longer. In addition, the patented HX steering has been developed further to enable it to be fitted to all HUBTEX electric vehicles with a three-wheel running system. The HX steering mechanism permits smooth transitions between steering modes, thus reducing tyre wear. Operators can also wave goodbye to time-consuming and fiddly manoeuvring, resulting in fast throughput times. Furthermore, the compact multidirectional truck is ideal for combined indoor and outdoor use in the warehouse thanks to its soft elastic tyres and a maximum speed of 12 km/h, while its large battery (48V, 930Ah) means it can go on for more than a whole shift. An optional lithium-ion battery provides very quick charging supporting its use in a multi-shift operation.

HUBTEX’s FluX handles both pallet and longload transport in a single vehicle.
