What it does, every day, indoors and out
Mixed yards are the norm: patched asphalt, occasional slopes, tight doors, and long, heavy packs that only get tougher when they are wet. HUBTEX MAXX 50/60 multidirectional electric sideloaders are built for exactly that. The MAXX 50 delivers true 11,000 lb capability in a compact footprint for dense storage and precise positioning. For fleets that routinely push heavier bundles, the MAXX 60 extends into the 11,000 to 13,200 lb range with drive-side muscle for yard work. Large elastic tires and solid ground clearance support confident travel over uneven approaches. The mast is matched to the capacity class for clear sightlines to forks and load. Optional HX 360° steering allows operators to switch between longitudinal, transverse, and circular travel without stopping, speeding up staging and reducing tire scrub.
Why even skeptics say yes to electric
The doubts are familiar: runtime, outdoor performance, and whether electric can match the control of IC trucks in the yard. The MAXX platform addresses each, practically. Configurable battery options and opportunity charging align energy to your duty cycle, keeping trucks available through long or staggered shifts. Quiet, low-vibration torque at low speed gives operators the fine control they need when threading long packs through doors or between racks, while reducing fatigue over a full day. For yard duty, the traction package and braking are tuned for mixed surfaces and grades, so you do not have to babysit approaches or avoid light rain. Because electric systems have fewer wear parts than IC, ongoing maintenance and energy spend often tip the total-cost equation in electric’s favor, and the advantage compounds in multi-shift operations.
Yard-ready details that matter
- Two workhorse classes: MAXX 50 around 11,000 lb; MAXX 60 for roughly 11,000 to 13,200 lb.
- Outdoor-capable setup: elastic tires, stable ground-clearance profile, confident grade performance.
- Operator first: clear sightlines to forks and load, ergonomic cab for long shifts.
- Maneuverability: optional HX 360° steering to minimize shuffle moves and tire wear.
For yards that want one platform for long lumber, sheet goods, and engineered wood, from dock to rack, indoors and out, MAXX 50/60 brings the capacity, control, and real-world electric efficiency that make everyday handling predictable and damage-free.
