Frequently Asked Questions
HUBTEX equipment is specifically engineered for handling long, heavy, and bulky loads in environments where space, safety, and precision are critical. Unlike standard counterbalance forklifts, HUBTEX machines, such as multidirectional sideloaders and multidirectional forklifts, are designed to operate efficiently in narrow aisles and confined spaces, allowing loads to be moved sideways, forwards, or diagonally with complete control. This capability enables businesses to significantly reduce aisle widths, improve storage density, and enhance on-site safety. Every HUBTEX solution is developed with real-world applications in mind, combining advanced engineering with practical features that support demanding industries such as steel, timber, manufacturing, and logistics.
HUBTEX works primarily with industries that handle long, awkward, or heavy materials as part of their daily operations. This includes steel and aluminium processing, timber and panel products, manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, ports, and logistics environments. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, HUBTEX focuses on industry-specific solutions, ensuring each machine is suited to the loads, operating conditions, and safety requirements of the customer. This tailored approach helps businesses improve efficiency, reduce product damage, and maintain safer working environments.
Alongside supplying specialist equipment, HUBTEX Australia offers warehouse planning and consultation services to help businesses get the most from their available space. By assessing your load types, aisle widths, racking configuration, and operational flow, HUBTEX can recommend equipment and layout improvements that support better productivity and safety. In many cases, switching to multidirectional equipment allows companies to narrow aisle widths and increase storage capacity without expanding their footprint, delivering long-term operational and cost benefits.
HUBTEX Australia provides nationwide service and support, backed by a team of trained technicians and access to genuine HUBTEX spare parts. Regular servicing, preventative maintenance, and rapid response repairs help ensure equipment remains reliable, compliant, and safe to operate. In addition to maintenance and repairs, HUBTEX also offers operator training and technical support, helping businesses protect their investment while maintaining high safety standards across their operations.
HUBTEX Australia offers both refurbished equipment and hire solutions for businesses that require flexibility or cost-effective alternatives to purchasing new machines. Refurbished HUBTEX units are carefully inspected and restored to meet high performance and safety standards, providing a reliable option for demanding applications. Hire equipment is ideal for short-term projects, seasonal demand, or trialling specialist machines before committing to a long-term solution, all supported by HUBTEX’s service and technical expertise.
