Forklifts for aluminum and steel tubes

Aluminum and steel pipe transport solutions

The internal transport of aluminum and steel tubes requires special attention and the right resources. These tubes are often extra long, heavy or just light and fragile, so standard forklifts are not always sufficient. Damage, bending or unsafe situations quickly arise if the load is not properly supported.

We provide a complete range of forklifts, side loaders and 4-way trucks that allow you to move aluminum and steel tubes efficiently, safely and damage-free.

What does tube transport involve?

Under pipe transport We mean the internal movement, storage and loading/unloading of bundles or loose tubes, such as:

  • Long aluminum profiles and pipes

  • Heavy steel pipes and tubes

  • Bundles of varying diameters

  • Tubes on special racks or supports

Because pipes often have long lengths (6-12 meters), this requires custom solutions.

Challenges in transporting pipes

Length and flexibility - risk of bending or twisting when picked up incorrectly

Fragile surface - aluminum damages quickly

Imbalance in narrow beams - increased fall hazard

Limited space - maneuvering in narrow paths

Therefore, many companies choose forklifts and side loaders with special features, forks and long load carriers.

Solutions for pipe transport

We recommend and supply among others:

  • 4-way forklifts (multidirectional driving)
    Ideal for long pipes - easily move in all directions without sticking.
  • Side loaders
    Suitable for very long loads - stable transport in narrow aisles.
  • Long haul trucks
    For horizontal movement over longer distances.
  • Special forks with support arms or V profiles
    For optimal support and minimal pressure points.
  • Customized clamps or hydraulic supports
    For safe bundle handling.
  • Compact electric forklifts with extended forks
    For tubes in shorter lengths or smaller bundles.
