Hubtex launches compact truck
Fulda, Germany

Hubtex has introduced the SQ 40 compact reach truck. It has a load-bearing capacity of 4 T, with a 600 mm (23 in.) load centre. The manufacturer claims the truck "achieves considerably higher load-bearing capacities than conventional reach trucks but with the same working aisle widths".
Hubtex says it started developing the SQ 40 last year to meet customer and market needs. The company aimed to achieve high capacities in combination with high load centres, while maintaining compact dimensions.
"For us, the SQ 40 is the right vehicle at the right time," says Lars Beuel, sales manager for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. "It means we can now respond positively to requests that we would previously have had to turn down." Due to the increased demand in this market segment, Hubtex is expecting significant demand for the new model.
