Safety in material handling is not just about brakes; it’s about the integration of sensors, structural integrity, and ergonomic interface design. HUBMAX Electric Stackers prioritize "Active Safety" to prevent accidents before they occur.
Intelligent Tiller Head and Control Interface The tiller (handle) is the primary interface between the human and the machine. HUBMAX uses an ergonomic tiller head equipped with a "Belly Button" emergency reverse switch. If the operator is backed into a wall, the machine automatically reverses direction upon contact, preventing crushing injuries. All controls lifting, lowering, and horn are accessible without the operator moving their hand from the grip.
Automatic Speed Governing High speed turns are a leading cause of tip overs. Advanced HUBMAX models feature a sensor-based speed reduction system that automatically slows the drive motor when the tiller is turned past a certain angle. Furthermore, the "Turtle Speed" mode allows for ultra slow movement in congested areas or when handling fragile loads.
Structural Safety and Overhead Protection For high lift models, the mast is fitted with a transparent plexiglass shield or a steel grid to protect the operator from falling debris while maintaining a clear line of sight. The reinforced steel chassis acts as a protective cage for the internal components, ensuring that minor impacts in a busy warehouse don't lead to catastrophic mechanical failure.
