Hubtex Returns to Compact Forklift Market at LogiMAT

At LogiMAT 2020, multidirectional forklift maker Hubtex will present numerous vehicles for handling long goods as well as heavy and bulky loads. In addition to the expanded PhoeniX modular system, the German manufacturer is presenting its new RoxX heavy-duty compact forklift at Stand D05 in Hall 10. This is a clear sign that Hubtex is returning to the compact forklift market and is now focussing systematically on the electric drive. The RoxX offers a significantly more compact alternative to the classic heavy-duty front loader and enables efficient handling of loads between 8 and 30 t even in confined spaces. LogiMAT will also showcase innovative products from the FluX series: With the FluX 20, Hubtex will now offer not only the 7, 4 and 3 t variants, but also a more compact vehicle for goods up to 2 t.

RoxX – Robust and Compact
Heavy loads in particular are often transported with the help of front loaders. However, when space is limited, these vehicles are soon restricted by their length. The heavy-duty compact forklift from the Hubtex RoxX range offers a robust and manoeuvrable alternative. The development is the result of a cooperation between Hubtex and Dimos. The aim was to reintroduce compact forklifts to the Hubtex portfolio, but this time with a version that runs purely on electric power.

At the Hubtex Stand D05, visitors can take a close look at the new RoxX. The truck enables efficient handling of loads between 8 t and 30 t, even in the smallest of spaces. This is because the RoxX is significantly more compact than classic frontlifts. It is 20% shorter and up to 25% narrower. Users can also choose from different steering systems. The patented single-wheel steering, for example, reduces the turning circle by 50%. The lifting mast is available in three versions and moves loads safely and reliably thanks to the intelligent design. At the same time, the driver always has an optimal view of the goods being transported. An additional advantage of the RoxX is the purely electric drive, which allows extremely energy-efficient, low-maintenance and quiet operation of the heavy-duty compact truck.

FluX 20 – small, narrow and fast-moving
Hubtex will also be providing information at LogiMAT about its new FluX 20 electric multidirectional counterbalance forklift truck. This truck belongs to the already popular FluX series with its flagship product, the FluX 70, which is designed for loads up to 7 t. Operating in a load range of up to 2 t, the FluX 20 boasts a shorter frame length of 1740 mm. It owes its impressive manoeuvrability to the patented HX steering system integrated as standard. The driver is able to change quickly from longitudinal to transverse travel without stopping. The new electric multidirectional counterbalance forklift truck also has a powerful 48-volt drive and reaches top speeds of up to 12 km/h.
