Providing a perfect platform for heavy and large loads - the self-propelled platform truck from Hubtex transports machine parts, steel beams, coils, sheet metal, castings and injection molding tools. The SFB series has now been equipped with a new steering system in the load capacity range up to 25 tons: The individual wheel steering is supported by a differential drive on the rear axle. Compared to the standard all-wheel steering systems on the market, the new steering system impresses with minimal turning radii and a more compact design and is also considerably more cost-effective.
Platform trucks in the SFB series from Hubtex are compact, self-propelled vehicles for indoor and outdoor use that have a large loading area for transporting bulky, heavy loads. The leading manufacturer of custom-built industrial trucks has now modified the SFB 25 and offers single-wheel steering on the front axle, supported by a differential drive on the rear axle, for this platform transporter in the load capacity range up to 25 tons. This steering principle was previously used on the RoxX electric heavy-duty compact forklift truck. It is now being successively transferred to platform trucks with different load capacity classes.
In contrast to standard steering via axle and cylinder with a maximum steering angle of 45°, up to 70° is possible with the single-axle steering system used on the front axle. Due to the large steering angle, the overall turning radii can be significantly minimized.
