MHW Magazine News and stories from the Materials Handling Industry
IMHX is the UK launchpad for the the world's first 6 Tonne Reach truck, namely the Hubtex 4120. Although Hubtex has traditionally been more famous for its range of multidirectional sideloaders for handling long and difficult loads, the new Hubtex 4120 allows heavy loads to be handled in much smaller spaces than a conventional counterbalance truck would allow.
The electric AC powered truck was developed due to the huge demand in the Chinese Steel Industry to handle heavy steel coils and has now become a standard truck that can be offered to the same and other industries throughout Europe and the rest of the World.
The truck range has a capacity up to 6 tonnes and is also capable of working outside. This will be of particular interest to companies who currently use overhead cranes and counterbalance trucks who double handle their products and as such, the potential for product damage is reduced considerably.
More information on the product can be obtained by calling Jim Hammond of Hubtex (UK) Ltd on 07739 774999.
