In the commercial van market for companies that deliver parcels and documents, paper and janitorial products, food vending and medical supplies, there is no ideal method to safely transport a hand truck, without tossing it into the vehicle. Current methods take-up valuable cargo space, damage products and require greater physical effort to stow the hand truck. Our HTS-20S Swing Mount is designed for the rear of most delivery vans will solve nearly every issue associated with smaller delivery vehicles-hand truck operations, saving our customers time and money!

        

What types of materials and components go into the HTS Ultra-Rack?

After two years on the road, 5-6 days per week and thousands of cycles later, our first installation units still look and operate like new! The HTS Ultra-Rack is built tough and made to last! Only the highest quality components and materials are used to construct our HTS Systems products. The frame and components assembly are constructed from super tough, super strong, light-weight Nylon 66 glass-filled polymer. This new Nylon 66 polymer is extremely strong and a very light weight material. It can endure extreme temperatures without becoming soft in hot environments or brittle in cold weather. The polymer frame components are also reinforced with fiber glass particles to increase rigidity. All HTS parts components have been designed with state-of-the-art CAD engineering programs and advanced chemical engineered materials. The super tough, glass filled nylon #66 polymer used to manufacture the HTS has been tested and designed for many different applications for the automotive industry. We have selected some of the most advanced and strongest polymers in the world. The HTS was designed to perform in all environments and weather and built to last! The electrical components are the most advanced electronic hardware assemblies ever used for an automotive application. The HTS inductive proximity switch was designed specifically for HTS Systems and comes with a lifetime warranty!

          

"When the HTS Ultra-Rack is bolted securely to the delivery truck the rigidity of the vehicle's bumper

  and frame is transferred to the installed unit, making the Hand Truck Sentry System very strong!"

  Carl Boettcher - HTS Systems - National Accounts Manager - March 2007

  WARNING: DO NOT climb and never step, stand or use the HTS as a ladder device as displayed in photo!

                 

The HTS Ultra-Rack has performed over the road in ambient temperature ranges of -15°F to 101°F for more than a year! This HTS-10T

 Tilt Mount unit pictured above and below was placed into a refrigerated environment for deep freeze and ice testing at -10°F or 23.3°C

 for 6 days of adverse cold weather testing.

                                                                                                          

The HTS Ultra-Rack performed extremely well in dry cold tests and layered ice testing! These conditions simulate some of the winter climate conditions found on customer route delivery vehicles.

Conditions may vary, depending on adverse weather environments and sub-zero temperatures.

In steady Winter climates we recommend cleaning road dirt by lubricating unit with silicone spray and applying silicone grease in HTS Push-Bar rails every 4-6 months to prevent sticking.

                                                                                                 

The HTS units are assembled with stainless steel fasteners and super tough high impact polymers that will not rust or corrode like conventional steel brackets or metal hand truck retaining frames.
