 HTS Systems applied state-of-the-art engineering technology and electronics to create a new ergonomic innovation

 and developed the Hand Truck Sentry System®. The HTS Ultra-Rack® is the ultimate hand truck transport solution! 

 The Hand Truck Sentry System® promises to increase route efficiency, fuel savings, worker productivity, highway

 safety and driver safety, thereby increasing the profitability of your delivery operations!

 

 What is an HTS Ultra-Rack or Hand Truck Sentry System?

 The HTS or Hand Truck Sentry System® is a new hand truck invention; an advanced retaining apparatus that

 attaches to the front of most delivery vehicle bumpers or the rear frame. With a single forward motion; the HTS

 quickly secures and locks the hand truck to the exterior of the vehicle. The HTS is equipped with an interior dash

 release switch that includes an LED indicator light. The LED warning light operates in conjunction with an audio

 alarm to show the system is properly locked and the hand truck is safely aboard the vehicle before departure.

 Your route drivers will never drive-off without their hand truck again!

 

 The electrical system is extremely durable and very reliable. The system is very similar to the trunk release

 switches found in most automobiles and works off the ignition circuit of the vehicle. The HTS is engineered and

 designed to withstand extreme weather and road conditions such as: temperature, rain, ice, snow, wind, road dirt,

 vibration and wear contact. The HTS Ultra-Rack is durable, strong and virtually maintenance free.

         

 What is the weight of the HTS Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System?

 Depending on which HTS model you select, the HTS units are light-weight and extremely strong, approximately

 22lbs.- 25lbs. (9.98kg-11.34kg) (without your hand truck secured). There is a 50lb.(22.7kg) weight limit restriction

 to comply with safety and warranty requirements, however the HTS has been tested to withstand 300lbs.(136kg).

            

 What brand or design of Hand truck will fit into the HTS Ultra-Rack?

 The HTS Ultra-Rack is compatible with the delivery industry’s most popular hand trucks; including the wider

 platform (two position) or cart conversion model hand trucks. The HTS can hold hand trucks up to 17 ½" (444mm)

 wide and with vertical side frames up to 1 ¾" (44mm) thick. Hand truck manufacturers such as Wesco (Cobra or

 Spartan), B&P Manufacturing's (Liberator), Magliner (Gemini), Harper, Lockwood, Hamilton Caster, Honeyman,

 Gleason (Milwaukee), RWM Caster and Valley Craft hand trucks are all compatible with our HTS Ultra-Rack frame.

 Most extruded and tubular aluminum hand trucks, tubular steel hand truck and magnesium hand trucks are

 compatible with the Ultra-Rack.

  The HTS Ultra-Rack is compatible with the industries most popular commercial aluminum hand trucks and many tubular steel hand truck designs. Please call our customer

  service center to learn more about deck platforms and hand truck accessories that may conflict with the HTS Ultra-Rack. Hand trucks equipped with deck plates can not be

  transported on front mounted HTS-10T Ultra-Rack units. Federal and State DOT safety and visibility regulations prohibit blocking the driver's view. Most hand trucks attached

  to front mounted HTS-10T Ultra-Rack units will rise above the vehicle grill and hood line. The driver must be able to see safely through and around the hand truck frame, so

  as not to obstruct road visibility.

  The HTS S-Series HTS-20S Swing Mount is designed for rear of full size commercial vans and smaller Sprinter vans. The HTS Swing Mount design is similar to an

  exterior wheel chair or scooter carrier and swings out from the van to access and open the secondary left side door.

  "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 - National Accounts Manager - HTS Systems - March 2009

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

 

   HTS Systems' HTS-20S Ultra-Rack unit is designed for all Sprinter vans and all full size Ford E150 E250 and E350 commercial delivery vans.

   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 (4) four 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 strong, high impact, 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 sensor

   switch was designed specifically for HTS Systems and comes with a lifetime warranty!

  Remove the cover panel and you'll find seven internal components. The first electrical component (left to right) is the heavy duty solenoid used to activate the main latch.

  The electrical wiring harness and yellow Y-Splitter are shown and the metal linkage wire that connects the solenoid to the latch lever is visible. The main Trimark double

  rotor latch and the inductive proximity sensor are centered within the component housing. The nylon oval linkage connector and the manual override key cam are shown

   on the right side of the component housing floor. All of the HTS electrical and mechanical components are all weather parts and designed for automotive applications.

   When designing the HTS Ultra-Rack our engineers didn't re-invent the wheel. They selected from the most rugged and reliable truck components in the automotive industry!

 

  Where do I mount the HTS LED dash release switch? Mount it under the dash board, inside the dash panel or center console or other interior locations.

  HTS Systems deep freeze and ice testing Hand Truck Sentry System deep freeze and ice testing

  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.

  It's time to discover what the Beer, Soft Drink, Freight and Battery industry have known for years! Having your hand truck readily available on the

  exterior of the vehicle offers many ergonomic, productivity and safety advantages, as it provides a powerful list of payback benefits. Now you can do it

  safely and you're guaranteed to save route time, reduce lifting, climbing, reduce falls, increase cargo space and prevent worker compensation injuries.

 

  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) Regarding 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!

 4. What is the length of your vehicle body? (Rear Mounts only)

      Some rear installations may require a Micro-cable extension harness.

      Vehicles with 10-12 Beverage Bay, Step Vans, Sprinter Vans or larger

      commercial vans usually require a 20’ ft. 30’ft. or 40’ft. Micro-cable.

      Front mount HTS installations do not require an extension harness.

       

 5.  Is the mounting surface area of the vehicle bumper vertically straight

       and flat?

      Some vehicle bumpers (front and rear) are designed with contours or

      air vent openings stamped into the front surface area of the bumper.

       This may require an HTS adapter plate or our free HTS shim kit to

      properly mount the HTS unit.

          

 6.  If you do require an HTS Ultra-Rack metal adapter plate, are you

       bolting or welding?

       Simply match the adapter plate (metal alloy) to the vehicle bumper

      alloy. Select the steel plate for steel bumpers or the aluminum plate

        for aluminum bumpers. Both HTS bumper adapter plates come

      pre-punched, air vented and ready to bolt or weld.

  HOLD THE COLD!  FUEL SAVINGS $$$ WHEN NOT TRANSPORTING A HAND TRUCK WITHIN REFRIGERATED TRUCK BODIES

  The final return trip back to the truck before departing can be the most important measure when trying to retain temperature! The route driver would normally be engaged with having his

  order checked in by the customer, rotating and stocking their inventory within the freezer or cooler, signing bills or receiving payment. This time can average 10-15 minutes. It’s ample time

  for most electronic thermostat controls or refrigeration systems to recover their safe operating temperature and properly shut down. When route drivers exit the building they need to reload

  their hand truck aboard the vehicle. Opening their freezer door, pulls the cold air outward and closing the door pushes the warmer air inward. This action causes major temperature loss!

  Refrigeration companies informed us that if the ambient temperature is 75-80° 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 would save a minimum of 100 minutes of reefer time per day. Refrigeration manufacturers informed us that most refrigerated systems

  use a gallon of diesel fuel per hour. A fuel savings of 1.5 gallons per day X $4.25 per gallon. A savings of $6 dollars per day or $30 dollars per week or $120 per month, per delivery vehicle!
