Foundry version
of Heavy-duty Compact Forklift
ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO
THE STANDARD VERSION:
> Protection of temperature-sensitive parts,
such as hydraulic lines
> Installation of the entire drive and control
technology inside the vehicle
> Protected inside hydraulic lines in the mast
> Significantly improved visibility through the
use of a telescopic arm
> Washers with quick change system in
the cabin
> Wheel arches protect the tyres from damage
> Lower axle loads to reduce the point load on
the building floors
Standard Heavy-duty Forklifts often have
high maintenance and repair costs when used
in foundries. This is due to the special require-
ments for foundries applications, for example
when handling converters, sparks and splashes
of liquid iron affects the difficult-to-protect
components.
HUBTEX therefore decided to develop a
completely new type of Heavy-duty Forklift.
The design was precisely aligned to the
production and operating conditions in a
foundry. By using the foundry version of the
HUBTEX Truck, ongoing service costs are
greatly reduced, performance is enhanced
and the total cost of ownership is significantly
reduced.
