This Hubtex VD25 Triplex is a used sideloader — sometimes referred to as a lateral forklift — a type of industrial handling machine designed to carry long or bulky loads such as timber, steel, piping, and sheet materials by picking them up from the side rather than the front. Hubtex is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing focus on specialised sideloaders and multidirectional forklifts, serving industries that routinely handle long-length goods in warehouses and storage yards. This example, dating from 1997, is located in Croatia and is offered in used condition.
The machine is electrically driven, running on an 80 V / 560 Ah battery, despite the listing headline referencing diesel — the seller's structured notes confirm electric drive. The rated lift capacity is 2,500 kg. The mast is a triplex configuration with free lift, allowing the forks to begin rising before the mast extends, which is particularly useful when working under low ceilings or in confined spaces. Maximum lifting height reaches 7,600 mm, making this unit suitable for high-bay racking environments.
The forks are 1,200 mm in length and the machine features polyurethane tyres, which are standard in indoor warehouse applications for their low rolling resistance and floor-friendly properties. The operator works from a closed cabin, providing a degree of weather and noise protection. Steering is managed via a directional handle arrangement. Together, these features describe a capable high-reach sideloader suited to demanding long-load handling in storage or production facilities.
