Deka Battery Freightliner M2 Hand Truck Sentry System

The HTS Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System is corrosion resistant, very rugged and extremely durable in all weather conditions." Carl Boettcher, HTS Systems' National Accounts Manager

Remember your hand truck every time, all the time! Never waste fuel, route time or labor costs to retrieve hand trucks! The HTS Ultra-Rack automatically informs the driver when their hand truck is not loaded properly and safely aboard! You can find our HTS Ultra-Rack products on all types of delivery trucks throughout the Northeast, Illinois, Texas, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Colorado, Arizona, California and Northwest to Fairbanks, Alaska.

After three years on the road, 6 days per week and thousands of cycles, our first installation units still look and operate like new! The HTS Ultra-Rack® is built tough and made to last! The innovative Hand Truck Sentry System® safely transports your hand trucks with more efficiency than ever before and faster and easier access! It's practically effortless access!

 

The HTS Ultra-Rack saves a route driver a minute or more per delivery stop, that's about 2.5 hours per week! It 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! 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! Include additional payload cargo area, less freight claims damage, less driver injuries, reduced liability and insurance costs = $2,000 per year or about $8,000 dollars in a four year time period! Prevent a workmen's compensation injury claim or an expensive liability lawsuit and well... you get the point! 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!

 

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.

 

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 inside the cargo area, lowering freight claims, bacterial cross-contamination

incidents, insurance costs, while preventing vehicle body damage and costly temperature loss

in refrigerated truck bodies.

 

● Reducing the chance of hand truck and merchandise theft from unattended or unlocked

delivery vehicles, 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.
