HUBTEX LAUNCH COMPACT 4000KG REACH TRUCK

摘要

The SQ 40 Reach Truck, with a nominal lift capacity of 4000kgs at 600mm load centre, accommodates considerably heavier loads than conventional reach trucks but with the same working aisle widths. As with most of the Hubtex ranges, the new reach truck was developed after responding to customer and market needs, especially in the manufacturing sector. Lifting and transporting loads and tooling is becoming more and more challenging as the size of loads to be handled, together with the centre of gravity considerations, pushed previous reach trucks to their limits. Hubtex therefore began developing the SQ 40 towards the end of 2013. The objective, which has now been accomplished, was to achieve high load bearing capacities in combination with extended centres of gravity while maintaining extremely compact dimensions. One of the companies involved in the early stages of development was a tyre manufacturer who needed to handle large tools, but due to the size of the load-in this case metal grids for creating tyre profiles-meant that the reach truck is positioned relatively far away from where the tools are loaded.
