wall tubing. In the folded position, the legs are much less susceptible to damage and occupy only one third of the space taken up by a non-folding jack. The new carrying handle is a user-friendly addition that facilitates easy transport and handling. For safety, the Fold-A-Jack features both a quick-action lockwasher and the patented Fall Guard protection. Standard features include a 1½" (38mm) Acme fine adjustment thread, a large convenient adjustment handle, and a set screw that locks jack head to the stand during transportation and provides a double margin of safety. Five head styles are available including standard vee, ball transfer, steel wheel, rubber wheel, and bar stock. Vee and steel wheel heads also available in stainless steel. Electric multi-directional sideloader for optimising storage capacity Hubtex GmbH & Co KG is a manufacturer of customised industrial trucks, sideloaders and special devices for heavy and bulky goods. The company’s equipment is used by manufacturing and commercial enterprises in the narrowest aisles for efficient material flow and movement of goods. The vehicles are precisely adjusted to the conditions of the company or the warehouse, but are also designed for flexible and multi-functional applications. The company’s electric multi-directional sideloaders are manoeuvrable and space-saving industrial trucks. Featuring multi-directional steering, the trucks can drive in all directions from a standing position. In comparison to four way sideloaders, diagonal drive is also possible, which is an advantage during the loading and unloading of trucks. Another advantage is the lateral transport of the load. Narrow gates and aisles can be passed through without any problems, and the distance between the storage rack rows can be minimised. Space for additional storage rack rows is created, optimising storage capacity. The quiet, low-emission electric drive is not only suitable for indoor use in halls, but also for combined indoor and outdoor use. For this purpose, Hubtex adapts the tyre equipment to the range of application. Vulkollan is mainly applied for indoor use in halls provided with a good industrial floor. Industrial trucks for use in combined indoor and outdoor applications are equipped with elastic tyres. The two-part articulated frame compensates for uneven floor surfaces and prolongs the service life of the device components.
