HUBTEX FluX 45 Electric Multidirectional Counterbalance Forklift Buy in UAE | Al Shirawi Enterprises

  • Load Capacity: 4.5 Ton
  • Maximum Lift Height: Up to 7,493 mm

The HUBTEX FluX 45 is the UAE’s most capable compact electric multidirectional counterbalance forklift a genuine 2-in-1 machine that delivers 4,500 kg of rated lift capacity combined with the agility to handle long goods sideways through narrow warehouse doors and aisles without stopping or repositioning. Replacing its predecessor with a platform that is 14 percent more compact yet stronger, the FluX 45 sets a new benchmark in its class for load capacity, manoeuvrability, and operating economy. Its patented 360° HX continuous steering system enables seamless transitions between longitudinal and transverse travel in motion, while its fixed lift mast with tilt function allows it to load and unload trucks exactly like a conventional counterbalance front loader. Large elastic tyres, high ground clearance, all-wheel drive, and an optional outdoor cabin make it equally effective across indoor warehouse floors and outdoor yard surfaces. For UAE and GCC businesses in building materials, manufacturing, plant engineering, steel, and logistics that regularly handle both pallets and long loads — but cannot justify the cost of two separate machines — the FluX 45 is the definitive single-truck solution. Al Shirawi Enterprises is the authorised HUBTEX dealer in the UAE, providing complete sales, commissioning, genuine OEM parts, and 24/7 technical support across the region.

Applications

Industries and operations where the HUBTEX FluX 45 Electric Multidirectional Counterbalance Forklift excels in the UAE:

The FluX 45 is the machine of choice for UAE and GCC operations that primarily handle palletised loads — but regularly need to move long, heavy, or bulky goods laterally in confined spaces where a dedicated sideloader alone cannot be economically justified. With 4,500 kg capacity and a frame 14% more compact than its predecessor, it brings heavy-duty multidirectional performance to building material centres, manufacturing plants, steel processors, and logistics facilities across the UAE that previously relied on two separate vehicles. Its safety advantage over conventional forklifts handling long goods is significant — eliminating the unstable, accident-prone practice of carrying long loads longitudinally on standard forks.

Typical Applications Include:

  • Building materials centres — handling boards, panels, lintels, pipes, conduits, and structural profiles
  • Steel service centres — transporting heavy steel beams, channels, flat bars, and coiled sections
  • Plant and mechanical engineering — moving machine components, tooling, fixtures, and assemblies
  • Aluminium and metal fabrication — lateral transport of extrusions, sheets, and long structural sections
  • Timber processing and wood product distribution — handling planks, hardwood lengths, and engineered panels
  • Manufacturing facilities — supplying production lines with long raw materials and large sub-assemblies
  • Logistics and distribution hubs — combined pallet and long-goods handling in single-facility operations
  • Cable drum and reel handling — lateral transport through narrow aisle sections in electrical wholesalers
  • Precast concrete facilities — moving structural precast elements and formwork components
  • Heavy equipment spare parts warehousing — handling long shaft materials, pipes, and structural spares
  • Port ancillary bonded warehouses — long-load handling in restricted-width covered storage facilities
  • Cold storage and temperature-controlled facilities — zero-emission electric operation in sealed environments

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the HUBTEX FluX 45 Electric Multidirectional Counterbalance Forklift?

The HUBTEX FluX 45 is a 4.5-tonne electric forklift that combines the capabilities of a conventional counterbalance front loader and a multidirectional long-goods sideloader in a single compact 3-wheel platform. Its patented 360° HX continuous steering system allows seamless direction changes in motion, while its fixed mast with tilt enables truck loading and rack stacking identical to a standard forklift. It is designed for operations that primarily handle pallets but regularly need to transport long goods laterally through narrow aisles or doorways.

How does the FluX 45 differ from the FluX 30?

The FluX 45 delivers 4,500 kg of rated capacity — 50% more than the FluX 30’s 3,000 kg — making it the right choice for heavier pallet loads and denser long goods. It operates on a 72V battery system compared to the FluX 30’s 48V, supporting its higher power demands. Both models share the same patented HX steering, 7,500mm maximum lift height, fixed mast with tilt, and 2-in-1 forklift-plus-sideloader functionality. The FluX 45 is also the newer generation platform, with a 14% reduction in frame length versus its predecessor.

What is the maximum load capacity and lift height of the FluX 45?

The FluX 45 has a maximum rated capacity of 4,500 kg at the centre of gravity and a maximum lift height of 7,500 mm with a Triplex mast. Simplex and Duplex mast options are also available for applications with different height requirements and visibility priorities.

Is the FluX 45 suitable for outdoor use in UAE conditions?

Yes. The FluX 45 was specifically developed for combined indoor and outdoor operations. Larger elastic tyres, increased ground clearance, and all-wheel drive handle transitions between warehouse floors and outdoor asphalt or paved yard surfaces effectively. An optional enclosed outdoor cabin provides full protection for operators in warm UAE ambient temperatures, making it a practical year-round solution for UAE industrial yard environments.

What is the benefit of the patented HX steering in a UAE warehouse context?

The HX continuous steering system allows the FluX 45 to transition between forward/reverse travel and lateral sideloader travel while in motion — without stopping. In a typical UAE warehouse with multiple direction changes per cycle, this saves significant time on every long-goods handling task, reduces queue time at aisle entries, and cuts tyre wear versus conventional stop-and-steer multidirectional systems. The result is higher throughput from fewer machines.

What battery options are available for the FluX 45?

The FluX 45 uses a 72V battery system as standard. A lithium-ion battery option is available for facilities requiring rapid opportunity charging during shift breaks, supporting demanding multi-shift or round-the-clock UAE warehouse operations without the need for battery change logistics.
