HTS
Systems manufactures (6) six different HTS Ultra-Rack models; each
model designed for a different mounting application on the
exterior of the delivery vehicle
or for a specific type of route delivery vehicle.
The HTS-10T Tilt Mount unit is our most popular model
and
is designed for the front of most
vehicles and it has the ability to pivot and tilt outward to clear the
engine hood or cab-over body.
The HTS-30D Direct
Mount unit is designed for the rear of most beverage and battery
side-loader truck bodies. The HTS-20S Swing
Mount
unit is a delivery van application, designed for most commercial
cargo delivery vans.
The HTS-30DTF unit attaches to semi
tractor
frames on large rigs with zero equipment
space, required to drop-hook or must travel bobtail.
The HTS-20S-TD is exclusively
for
Taylor-Dunn electric electric vehicles. The
HTS-30DI Ultra-Rack unit is designed
exclusively for the interior of armored car vehicles,
large
cube vans or box van trucks. Most HTS-10T Tilt Mount applications do
require an HTS adapter plate kit to create a vertical
mounting
surface on front bumpers. Our engineering and fabrication department can
custom design a mounting application for your
vehicles. For
more information about our Hand Truck Sentry System safety and
productivity products, please contact your regional
HTS
Systems distributor, truck body manufacturer, commercial truck leasing
company or your local truck body refurbishing facility.

This Hino 338 is equipped with Morgan body and many different accessories for the
driver.
HTS-10T
shown with the new high position adapter plate for low bumpers or trucks
equipped with low
profile tires. This new
Freightliner M2 is equipped
with the Clean Idle
Emissions diesel, recessed front axle for a sharper turning radius and
low profile design for reduced air flow and increased fuel
mileage. This
delivery truck is also equipped with a Johnson Refrigerated Truck Body
and Thermo King freezer unit.
The HTS LED hand truck
release switch is designed for under-dash installations or in-dash
installations. The switch quickly and easily plugs directly into the
fuse port, no cutting or splicing required
The
HTS LED switch prevents the route driver from leaving their hand
truck behind, saves route time, fuel, labor and prevents dangerous
detachment.
When the driver
completes the delivery and returns back to the vehicle there is
no need to re-open the
refrigerated area
to stow the hand truck,
lose temperature,
fuel and time. The driver secures the hand
truck using less
effort and can save a minute or more per stop or 30 minutes per day!
Eliminating
the need to reload the hand truck within the temperature
controlled refrigerated truck body in ambient 75°-80°
degrees weather can save
fleets
$$$
thousands in
reefer fuel!
The final trip back
to the vehicle, before departing can be the most important!
Checking in orders, rotating stock,
signing
bill and check can take up to 15 minutes to complete. This is
ample time for most refrigerated truck bodies to recover
operating temperature.
Then
route driver must reopen the rear cargo door to reload the hand
truck. Opening the door draws the colder air outward and down
and closing
the
door pushes the warmer air up and inward. In warmer climates
this action causes major temperature loss and will normally
cause the reefer units
to
recover cargo temperature and run for approximately 5-8 minutes.
Five minutes X 20 stops = 100 minutes per day or 1.5 gallons of
fuel per truck.
The
HTS Ultra-Rack installed on refrigerated trucks in warmer
climates can save fleets
$6 dollars per day,
$120 per month,
per delivery truck!

Swing Mount Ultra-Rack designed exclusively for Ford E250 E350 commercial
delivery vans and Sprinter parcel delivery vans. |
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 retaining
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.
The HTS-20S
Swing Mount Ultra-Rack - Hand Truck Sentry System
saves 12'-15' cubic feet of cargo space
every day or 240 -300 cubic feet per month and reduces delivery time and
damages!

The
HTS-20SFT unit offers numerous advantages for food service
companies looking to reduce operating costs such as; route
delivery time, fuel expenses, injuries,
product
damage and freight claims. Food service companies using
refrigerated vans in warmer southern climates and during the
hot summer months will receive a super
payback
benefit savings! Reducing cargo temperature loss means less
fuel usage, less wear and tear and less maintenance.
Fleets can save $25-$35 dollars of fuel per
week,
per van!
The HTS-20SFT Ultra-Rack application is a smart, safe and
productive method and also looks great on the van! Route
drivers can now stop shuffling and
cross-handling
their hand trucks above and around their cargo to access the
vehicle or products. No more extracting the hand trucks to
the ground to access a single
box,
no wasted route time, reduce labor costs, less physical
effort, also prevent work related injuries. Our Hand Truck
Sentry System models can pay for themselves in
6-8
months and save fleets thousands!
Route delivery time, cargo space, labor costs, freight
claims, vehicle maintenance and equipment loss is Money!
HTS-20SFT maximizes cargo
space in cargo vans, reduces product damage and decreases
delivery time.
HTS-20SFT Ultra-Rack is compatible with most
commercial hand trucks models.

valuable cargo space, damages product, requires physical
effort and can cause work related injuries.

For
Armored Service Vehicles / Armored Car Delivery Trucks |
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. The HTS-10T unit
can increase armored personnel safety,
vault security, route productivity, fuel economy and save armored services companies
thousands of dollars
per armored vehicle!

The HTS units are
assembled with 18-8 stainless steel fasteners and super
tough, high impact, glass filled nylon polymers. They will
not rust or corrode like steel brackets or retaining
frames.
For six
continuous days 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.
Operating conditions may vary, depending on severe weather
environments and
sub-zero
temperatures. In
steady Winter climates we recommend cleaning road dirt and grime
by lubricating unit
with silicone spray
and then applying
a
thin layer of silicone grease to HTS Push-Bar rails every 6
months to prevent
sticking.
