Optimising warehouse logistics

Handling wood-based materials is one of the core tasks of Hubtex products. Therefore, Ligna is very important for us as the leading trade fair in the wood sector.

“It holistically covers all topics along the value chain as well as the associated requirements for intra-logistics in the wood industry,” explains Hans-Joachim Finger, Managing Director Sales, Marketing and Purchasing.

“ In our field of activity, with the development of returnable forklift trucks and order picking vehicles, a lot is currently happening: new solution concepts are being added, whilst at the same time existing concepts retain their relevance and often only require a selective improvement, for example in terms of energy consumption. At Hubtex, we are doing everything we can to cover this spectrum completely.”

The highlight for the Ligna trade fair 2023 is the new generation of the electric multi-directional counterbalance truck FluX for load capacities of up to three tonnes.

“Visitors can experience the new FluX at our stand 65. The forklift is predominantly designed for use as a front loader. Thanks to the multi-directional steering it can also be used as a side loader for the transport of long-load goods.

A unique feature is the 360° HX steering in the compact threewheel running gear that ensures smooth changes in direction from longitudinal to transverse travel.”

With these innovations and other new products, such as the PhoeniX 2825 with an optional electronic load chart and a silent pump, Hubtex has what it considers to be the most modern product portfolio on the market in the field of multi-directional sideloaders and special vehicles.

“No other manufacturer offers such a wide product range for multi-directional forklifts with electric drive,” says Hans-Joachim.

Among other things, Hubtex is currently working intensively on assistance systems that, when used with order-picking vehicles, help companies in the timber industry to organise their warehouse logistics as optimally and safely as possible.
