TRANSPORTERS

SFB – Platform transporter
The platform transporter (SFB series) is aself-driving vehicle with a large load surface.
These trucks are used for the internal transport of all manner of loads, be it sheet metal,
steel girders, Coils, machine parts, castings
and tools.

>> Operation via cab, driver platform,
remote control or automation>> Single-axle, all-wheel and multidirectional steering

For optimum manoeuvrability>> Solid rubber, pneumatic or Vulkollan tyres
For driving on asphalt, paving or industrial floors>> Indoor and outdoor use
combined or for outdoor operation only>> Battery-powered, maintenance-freeAC-drive technology>> Load capacities of up to 100.0 t>> Robust construction

our SFBs.

MOVABLE PLATFORM
Movable platform enables transport of very long items such asload racks and moulded side parts.

65.0 tons of heavy tools, even onasphalt.

6DOUBLE LOAD CAPACITY
IN COUPLED MODE
Two or more vehicles can be combined
to transport particularly large loads.
A single load is thus distributed acrossmultiple transporters. For example,
the vehicles may travel under an aircraft
fuselage and are then coupled wirelessly so as to remain in continuous
communication during transport. This
creates a strong and stable transportsystem offering double the standard
load capacity.

Integrated lifting
deviceLOW PLATFORM HEIGHTSThe HUBTEX SL-AGV impresses with its
35 ton capacity combined with a height ofjust 457 mm. For transport purposes,
the operator simply places the platform infront of the relevant load. The exact positioning is then performed with the aid ofan assistance system, semi-automaticallyand with millimetre precision: The vehicle
determines its position by means of sensors
before calculating the ideal steering geometry
for the specific transport task on this basis.
The subsequent positioning then takes place
fully automatically and with utmost precision.
The load is raised via the integrated 203 mm lift.

7GW – Rail-mounted truck
The rail-mounted trucks (GW) from HUBTEX are configured to suit the individual
needs and requests of our customers. Tried-and-tested components are used in
the drives and control technology. The rail-mounted truck is designed to satisfy
internal transport requirements.

DRIVER’S CAB /PLATFORM
These vehicles can be
operated via a sitting or
standing cab as well aswith a wired or radio
remote control unit.
A wide range of modules
are available, allowing
this vehicle to be adapted
to all customer requirements – no matter how
specific.

RADIO AND WIREDREMOTE CONTROLThe radio remote control isequipped with joysticks for
precise operation, buttons forthe emergency stop and hornas well as other options.
Alternatively, customers canalso opt for a wired remotecontrol, which can be connected to the vehicle via­multiple connection points.

9Die handlers
Safety and speed are paramount when it comes to the crucial
features of modern die handlers.
The HUBTEX die handlers with load capacities of up to 65 tons
help to reduce changeover times of pressing and stamping tools,
thereby increasing production efficiency. The compact chassis
enables very low entry heights under the dies.

>> Load capacities of up to 65.0 t>> Die table with lift heights of up to 3000 mm>> Extremely low table heights

combined with high load capacities>> Die changes performed via a drive chain system
for rapid tool replacement

When creating the concept for a HUBTEX die ­handler,
we generally start with the requirement for a mobileand flexible solution with high positioning accuracy
and implementation of a safe docking process
for different machines as well as safe and rapid
die changes.

>> Positive-lock plate

individually adaptable to tool>> Multi-directional steering>> Pedestrian operation
via remote control>> Hydraulic clamping mechanism
for securing the dies during transport

The design principle of this transporter is the swing axle.
It is guided by a rocker to which the load is transferredfrom a lift cylinder. This ensures a variable ride heightwith optimum adaptation to uneven surfaces.

12Automated guided vehicle systems
HUBTEX heavy-duty transport vehicles are ideallysuited to automation. The use of an automatedguided vehicle system reduces throughput times,saves costs and enhances safety.

>> Greater efficiency>> Optimisation of warehouse logistics>> Automatic load transfer>> Transport circuits with individual stops>> Ideal for hazardous areas

charge levels and operating hours>> Available with functions for parameter
modification and software updates>> Maximum machine availability,

A new remote maintenance system is available
for HUBTEX vehicles. Important truck data,such as error codes and battery charge levels,
is transferred to the cloud environment of our­system partner Telekom via an M2M gateway
on the lift trucks.
In the case of faults, HUBTEX
technicians can gain directaccess to the vehicle data andprovide rapid assistance.
Customers benefit from maximum machine availability andminimal production downtimes.
The system can also be retrofitted to used vehicles.
