No
more retrieving or searching for lost or forgotten hand trucks!
Save time, fuel and MONEY!
No more climbing, digging or
searching within the cargo area for hand trucks! Never again
hang or lean over dangerous loading platforms to lower the hand
truck from
the vehicle or lift and twisting
when reloading. No more unlocking, opening, closing and
relocking doors and padlocks during pick-ups.
The HTS can also eliminate
hand truck throwing abuse caused by drivers; thus preventing
hand truck damage and freight claims!
The
HTS Ultra-Rack quickly pays for itself and then saves your company money! The
Hand Truck Sentry System
safely transports
your hand trucks,
reduces labor expenses, fuel costs and much more!
REDUCE INJURY SAVE FUEL SAVE TIME REDUCE DAMAGE PREVENT LAWSUITS REPLACEMENT COSTS BODY REPAIRS
Reduce fuel loss and
delivery time. Operate safely and run more efficiently! Minimum savings of 1 minute
per stop X 20 stops per day = 1½ hours
per week.
Save an average of $1,000 dollars - $1,500 dollars per
year in labor!
Eliminate hand truck replacement costs of $250 dollars - $750
dollars per year. Hand truck
retrieval time is
fuel and labor costs, save $100- $200 in fuel
per year.
Prevent accidental falls, workmen's compensation,
highway accidents, liability,
claims damage and more!
The
HTS Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System
quickly pays for itself
while it increases the efficiency, the safety and the
profitability of your delivery system by:
●
Reducing the time of each and
every delivery stop by increasing the ease of access,
storage and retrieval of the hand truck, consistently
reducing labor costs.
●
Reducing the
liability of the company resulting from hand trucks falling
from delivery
vehicles during transportation, reducing insurance costs and
protecting brand image.
●
Reducing the likelihood of
injuries to the route driver due to insecure or unsafe
handling and retrieval actions, thereby
preventing workmen’s compensation claims.
●
Reducing the time lost by having
to return to the previous delivery stop to retrieve the lost
or forgotten hand truck, thereby lowering fuel expenses and
labor costs.
●
Reducing the damage to packages
and other fragile merchandise due to loose hand trucks
bouncing around within the cargo area, thereby lowering
freight claims.
●
Reducing bacterial or
hazmat cross-contamination contact of product cargo,
customer delivery locations thereby preventing illness, liability and insurance costs.
●
Reducing costly temperature
loss and fuel expenses by reducing open door time and total number of entries
within refrigerated or cold plate food service truck bodies.
●
Reducing the chance of hand
truck theft or damage and merchandise theft from unattended or unlocked
delivery vehicles, while providing a superior theft deterrent.
●
Reducing the loss of valuable
cargo space when transporting a hand truck within the
vehicle interior, thereby increasing the vehicle's payload
and storage efficiency.
●
Reducing the total operating costs of each commercial delivery vehicle by enhancing ergonomics, safety and route productivity, thereby reducing time and liability!

WHEN NOT TRANSPORTING A HAND TRUCK WITHIN REFRIGERATED TRUCK
BODIES
It’s nearly
impossible to control the length of time or the number of times a
refrigeration cargo door is opened during a delivery stop. Many
refrigerated truck bodies have
shut-off
switches that prevent the reefer unit from running while the
cargo door remains open. This option can save energy and can
lower fuel costs; however it does not
prevent
expensive temperature loss. Often the final return trip back
to the truck can be the most important when trying to retain
cargo temperature! After the driver gets
his
delivery checked in, rotates and stocks their customer
order, signs bill
and
receives
payment. This time can average 10-15 minutes; ample time for
most thermostat
controls to
recover their safe operating temperature and properly shut
down. The driver then exits the building and must reload
their hand truck aboard the vehicle.
Opening the
freezer door pulls the cold air outward and closing the door
pushes the warmer air inward. This action results in major internal
temperature loss!
Refrigeration companies informed us that if the ambient
temperature is 75-85° degrees or above, this would cause the
reefer system thermostat to recover for
approximately 5-8 minutes. Eliminating a 5-8
minute cycle time X 20 stops per day can save a minimum of
100 minutes of reefer run time per day.
Refrigeration manufacturers informed us that
most refrigerated systems use a gallon of diesel fuel per
hour. Preventing a fuel loss of 1.5 gallons per day X $4.25
per
gallon can generate a savings of $6 dollars
per day, $30 dollars per week or $120 per month, per
delivery vehicle! Access and navigate the narrow aisle of
freezers much
safer, faster and easier when grabbing small
orders. Save time, no moving or climbing over hand truck.
The HTS has multiple ways to pay for itself within only
months!

and to 180°
to allow full open door access.
No matter how or
where you store a hand truck inside a cargo van, it takes up
valuable cargo space, damages product, requires physical
effort and can cause work related injuries.
Not Anymore!

The HTS Tilt Mount Ultra-Rack
Hand Truck Sentry System offers many advantages over the older out-dated
factory OEM hasp-bar and unsafe rubber strap carrier racks.
The
Hand Truck Sentry System eliminates the possibility of the driver leaving the
hand truck miles behind; saving route time and fuel. The front OEM hasp-bar
racks are
not
designed to accommodate hand truck models equipped with stair climbers or
a nose plate
extension. OEM hand truck racks allow hand trucks to tilt and lean outward
and shift
during vehicle movement. The Hand Truck Sentry System does not require
padlocks to prevent theft or bungee cords to prevent leaning, vibration or
movement.
OEM
and Aftermarket hand truck racks require two hands to off-load and reload the
hand truck. You need only one hand to operate the HTS Ultra-Rack Hand Truck
Sentry!
Having an extra free hand to hold your paperwork or to allow the driver to
firmly brace himself on slippery, ice or snow covered ground surfaces is
extremely beneficial.
