HUBTEX (Booth S2591) is introducing its sensor-powered Aisle Entry Assist, designed to help drivers of multidirectional sideloaders navigate narrow aisles with pinpoint accuracy. The system minimizes collisions, reducing damage to racking, vehicles and goods while lowering repair costs.

Accidents often occur when forklifts enter aisles just a few inches wider than the vehicle itself, especially with overhanging loads. HUBTEX’s new assistance system recognizes aisle entry points and allows operators to engage automatic steering at the press of a button, helping improve safety and efficiency in warehouse operations.

“I’m very excited about this product,” said managing director Alexander Baumann. “It’s a game-changer for us.”

The company is also showcasing its PhoeniX series forklifts, which handle long and heavy loads in tight warehouse environments.

ProMat 2025 is scheduled to be held March 17-20 at Chicago's McCormick Place. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the materials handling and logistics industry. Modern’s complete coverage of the show.
