Welcome to HTS Systems, manufacturer of the patented HTS Ultra Rack/Hand Truck Sentry System. The patented HTS Ultra-Rack® is the safest, fastest, easiest and most economical method for securing and transporting hand trucks aboard commercial delivery vehicles. The electronic powered Hand Truck Sentry® or (HTS) uses a cab dash (electrical) release system for quick access of the hand truck. The dash release switch includes an LED indicator light with alarm, to confirm the HTS Ultra-Rack® is safely locked. Your drivers will never drive-off without their hand trucks again! Go Green and Save Green! The HTS Ultra-Rack is made in the United States and manufactured in an environmentally friendly solar powered facility.
The HTS Ultra-Rack® uses automotive electronic latch technology similar to powered door locks with a built-in warning system used on service utility trucks. The Food Service and Beverage Industry, Parcel and Freight Companies and Armored Car Fleets can now take advantage of: The World's Ultimate Logistics Advantage for Hand Trucks! If your route drivers use hand trucks to move merchandise and you're looking for new and faster methods to save fuel, reduce costs, save and increase profits, then you need our HTS Ultra-Rack/Hand Truck Sentry System today! Fleets can save thousands in fuel costs!

Distributors - Paxinos, Pennsylvania and Keystone Refinishing - Madisonville, Pennsylvania - HTS-30D Direct Mount Ultra-Rack 06-11 "The HTS hand truck rack works great! It's tough enough to survive a forklift collision! We've ordered more HTS-30D units and rear camera systems. Doug Billig - Fleet Supervisor 14 years - Durdach Bros. MILLerCOORS distributors - PAXINOS, Pennsylvania - customer 5 years - JUNE 2010 The HTS Ultra-Rack saves a route driver a minute or more per delivery stop, that's about 2.5 hours per week! For one delivery vehicle over a 4 year time period = $4,800 dollars in labor + $400 in fuel savings + $300 in hand truck replacements = $5,500 dollars! It's simple; save a minute per stop X 30 stops per day = 600 mins. per month or 120 hours per year X $10 per hour = $1,200 dollars in annual savings! Include additional payload cargo area, less freight claims damage, less driver injuries, reduced DOT fines, reduced liability and insurance costs = $2,000 every 4 years! Add it up, $5,500 dollars + $2,000 = $7,500 dollars per delivery vehicle over a 4 year time period! Save approximately $1,875 dollars every year, per delivery vehicle! Prevent a workmen's compensation injury claim or an expensive liability lawsuit and well... you get the point! Industry Overview Summary: Workmen's Compensation ▪ Ergonomics ▪ Cross-contamination ▪ Corporate Liability ▪ Insurance Costs ▪ Risk Management The average cost for an MRI scan is $1,500 dollars, the average Workmen's Compensation claim is $15,000 dollars and the average legal liability lawsuit settlement for businesses is $150,000 dollars! The HTS completely revolutionizes route safety and worker productivity, while reducing corporate risk! Reducing physical climbing, lifting and lowering can reduce back injuries, tripping and falls; thereby decreasing risk, worker injuries and insurance costs! Any driver who rushes back (off-route) in a hurry to retrieve their forgotten hand truck is no longer a safe driver, they instantly become a liability! Unsanitary and deplorable events often occur in alleys, service entrances and parking lots of night clubs and restaurants in the early morning hours. Hand trucks travel across filthy sidewalks, through mud puddles, near leaking dumpsters, public rest rooms, dirty coolers and oily loading dock areas. Manually lifting hand trucks aboard food service delivery vehicles increases the likelihood of transferring hazardous ground source bacteria from tires, onto work uniforms and hands, onto food cartons. This cross-contamination increases the possibility of salmonella, E. coli and Listeria bacteria illness! Cross-contamination of bacteria, chemicals and dirt onto food products and sanitary medical supplies can be reduced when transporting hand trucks out and away from products. Hand trucks often transfer contaminates into food refrigeration vehicles or track out chemicals or spread disease from hazardous shipments. The HTS reduces hand truck tires and load plate surfaces from retransferring contaminates to customer locations and products. Reduce fuel consumption for refrigeration-freezer units by retaining temperature in food service trucks; reduce total entries and open-door time! What other investment could you possibly make in your company and truck fleet that will give you that large of a return and that type of protection? The Hand Truck Sentry is a hand truck safety rack, hand cart carrier, dolly cart rack or hand truck lock rack; whatever you call it, it's so much more!! The Hand Truck Sentry is the only material handling equipment and truck accessory that reduces route time, labor costs, climbing, injuries, workmen's compensation, product damage, freight claims, vehicle wear and liability. The only delivery tool that saves fuel, cargo space, hand trucks and money! The HTS is a hand truck safety rack that's safer, faster, easier; a one-handed method and patented solution that pays for itself over and over again! The ancient hand truck carrier racks of the past eventually fail and it usually occurs when the delivery truck is traveling. Often these types of failures result in catastrophic highway accidents, severe injuries and costly lawsuits and legal settlements. http://www.handtrucksystems.com/press.htm

Distributing fleet mechanics three years ago. 8-2010 We can't stress enough; that if you're using rubber straps, bungee cords, cables, chains or any type of flexible tie-down method to secure your hand trucks aboard the exterior of your delivery trucks; PLEASE STOP IMMEDIATELY! We have seen the highway accidents, the property damage and the physical injuries. Your own insurance company can also verify and document our findings. It takes more time and it involves more lifting, reaching and climbing, if you don't have an HTS Ultra-Rack. If you don't, by all means, safely secure your hand truck within the cargo area. (as required by DOT safety regulations) Safety & Ergonomics in the Delivery Vehicle, an internet web site, public statement from Magline, Inc. manufacturer of Magliner hand trucks. "To avoid accidents and prevent damage to your hand truck, always make sure to fasten it securely inside your vehicle with a strap or other device." If you're storing the hand truck inside the vehicle, we couldn't agree more! It's a safety hazard and a DOT safety violation if you don't comply. Your driver could be cited and fined for not securing their hand truck! Many delivery companies are unaware of these vital Department of Transportation (inside storage) safety requirements. It's true the exterior of the delivery vehicle is a superior location, a more ergonomic method for storing and transporting your hand truck; if you do it safely! Make it a safer place out there for everyone, by ordering your new Hand Truck Sentry System today!

Truck chassis and body assemblers have chosen the HTS Ultra-Rack for completing their cold plate and freezer system applications. They realize that the HTS Ultra-Rack retains cold temperature, increases cargo space, fuel savings and worker (safety) productivity. The cold plate (freezer body) and HTS Ultra-Rack work very well together!

This new HTS tractor chassis application allows one or two of our HTS-30D Direct Mount Ultra-Rack units to install on big rigs, without drilling or welding. The HTS-30DTF (tractor frame) attaches to the tractor chassis frame C channel quickly and easily; it can also be removed and re-installed on new leased fleet equipment. This tractor chassis design is for both day or sleeper cabs; allows full tolerance for any turning radius and user standing clearance between reefer trailers and tractor cab. Excellent application for delivery companies backhauling sealed loads, full trailers with zero equipment space and/or semi tractors that must drop-hook or travel bobtail.

Cargo space can be very limited on smaller delivery vehicles and tossing the hand truck in with packages or products can cause expensive damage to fragile shipments. Securing and transporting the hand truck safely on the exterior of the delivery vehicle reduces vehicle wear and tear, freight claims and costly work (driver) related injuries. Our fleet customer in California required a safer and more ergonomic method to transport their hand trucks on Taylor-Dunn vehicles, requiring less physical lifting height.

Joe VOITEK - Route Driver - United Beverage Company OF NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA - July 2006 Every month large companies will spend millions of dollars marketing their products, advertising and protecting their brand's positioning, identity and reputation. Just one accident resulting in a serious injury or death caused by negligence can damage the reputation and inadvertently change the confidence and opinion of the buyer towards the brand's name. This consumer perception may take years to overcome, even if the company is later found not negligent or liable for a highway accident! Adverse media exposure that focuses on a brand name vehicle can have dire consequences. When we visit with our HTS customers and their route drivers we discovered that most beverage distributors and food service employees are very protective as they proudly express their loyalty and the quality of their company's products and brands. Companies have long known that employee professionalism, attitude and appearance are extremely important to protect the brand's image. Providing new technology or equipment that allows route drivers to accomplish their tasks safer, faster and easier reduces daily stress and dramatically improves a driver's confidence and attitude. The Hand Truck Sentry System HTS Ultra-Rack is a quick lock, safe transport tool that completely revolutionizes the loading, unloading and storage tasks of delivery drivers using hand trucks!

Fact: On average, it takes approximately 0.5 to 1.5 (½ - 1½) minutes to unload and reload a hand truck aboard a commercial route truck, depending on the truck body type, door locks, deck height, securing method, cargo space, driver fitness and the hand truck weight and model. Unlocking padlocks, unlocking and reopening doors, physical lifting and climbing and moving cargo to access is valuable time! Upon completing the delivery; the driver will loose additional time to reopen the cargo area to safely store hand truck aboard the vehicle. Many drivers toss their hand trucks on top of fragile products causing claims damage. When drivers must back track off route to retrieve a forgotten hand truck it usually takes about 20-30 minutes round trip. Hand truck retrievals can cost delivery companies thousands in fuel and labor! The average route driver will forget their hand truck 4-6 times per year. Most supervisors only hear about it once or twice, or when the hand truck is lost or stolen! Unloading and reloading the hand truck aboard vehicles with a hasp bar or a rubber strap hand truck carrier frame requires additional time and the use of both hands. When a driver works off the back of the truck and also docks to warehouse doors it is very common for him to remove the hand truck from vehicle to the loading dock area so that a pallet jack or forklift can enter. Often times the driver forgets to reload the hand truck aboard the cargo area before departure, leaving it miles behind! Fact: Unload and reload your hand truck in just 6-8 seconds when using the HTS Ultra-Rack on any model of route delivery vehicle! It takes only 3-4 seconds to access your hand truck and 3-4 seconds to safely store the hand truck aboard the route vehicle using one hand! Saving a driver a minute or more during each delivery stop X 30 stops per day = equals a labor cost savings of 2.5 hours per week! Also... your drivers will never forget their hand trucks, waste valuable time, labor or expensive fuel when using the HTS Ultra-Rack! That's how the HTS Ultra-Rack is able to pay for itself in less time than most route delivery vehicles can wear out a new set of tires!

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.

Kenworth T300 - Mickey Battery Body - Harper Hand Truck - OEM Safety First Hasp Rack 9-09 For Armored Car Vehicles: We are confident that we have a safety and ergonomic enhancement that can reduce the amount of times the vehicle vault is opened by 45% percent! Reduce the vault access by hundreds of times per week and also decrease the standard delivery (open-door) time, by hours per week; thereby increasing the armored personnel safety, the vault security, the route productivity; while reducing risk and company liability. We have observed many guards leaning and reaching with their torso inside the vehicle. The guard’s visibility momentarily obstructed, their back facing towards crowded sidewalks and parking lots, while focusing on lifting and handling their hand truck. The hand truck tires and load plate often transfer dirt, mud and snow into the cargo area, causing currency bags and valuable items to become wet or dirty. We have also been informed by armored guards who had injured themselves because they slipped on wet floors within the vehicle and fell onto their hand trucks. We are very confident that our HTS-10T units can increase armored personnel safety, vehicle vault security, route productivity, fuel economy and save armored car companies thousands of dollars per vehicle!

In the commercial van market for companies that deliver parcels, documents, paper and janitorial products, food vending and medical supplies there are no ideal methods to safely transport a hand truck, without tossing it into the vehicle. Current methods take-up valuable cargo space and decrease payload storage, damage product and require greater physical effort to stow the hand truck. Parcel drivers constantly handle and shuffle their hand trucks within the van to gain access and to reach their cargo shelves and packages. A standard aluminum commercial hand truck transported inside the delivery van will use up approximately 12' -15' cubic feet of valuable cargo space. When a hand truck is transported inside a delivery van 5 days a week it translates to a payload loss of 240-300 cubic feet per month. Most parcel drivers move their hand truck out of their way continuously, actually handling it more than they use it for customer deliveries! It is dangerous and a DOT safety violation to transport a loose hand truck within the cab or cargo area, all equipment must be secured. The HTS Ultra-Rack is the most advanced hand truck securement system for commercial delivery vehicles in transit. The HTS-20S Swing Mount unit is designed for the rear of most delivery vans. The HTS-20S Swing Mount can solve nearly every issue associated with smaller delivery vans that transport hand trucks, saving our customers time, fuel, cargo space and profits! Maximize your cargo capacity and route productivity, reduce freight damage and prevent floor corrosion.
