FedEx Gound Navistar route delivery truck equipped with the new HTS-10T Tilt Mount Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System. 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!
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?
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.
Why purchase the best equipment available?
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 a 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.
Armored 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!

General Truck Body Los Angeles CA. Magliner hand truck. The UD Nissan fleet trucks shown above have the HTS-10T Tilt Mount Ultra-Rack (Hand Truck Sentry System) and Cold Car USA cold plate freezer body. General Truck Body www.gtbtrkbody.com located in Los Angeles, CA
Efficiency, productivity and safety is the mission of both Cold Car USA and HTS Systems. Deliveries get done safely, quickly and easily, every time!
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!
The HTS hand truck safety rack eliminates the need to reopen the cooler system to store the hand truck after the delivery! The driver can reduce loading time at each and every delivery stop, by opening the refrigerated door 10-30 times less per day.
The HTS Ultra-Rack® also reduces the need to lift, over stretch, twist or climb!
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!

Safety Vision project manager Andre Morgan takes on a customized installation project for Proforma Safety International's "S.W.A.T." (Safe Work Awareness Team) HUMMER. The installation entailed mounting four mobile video safety cameras, two in-cab LCD monitors, and associated cabling and camera control boxes. Proforma required a system that includes two rear-facing side-view cameras; one rear-facing backup camera; one forward-facing PathFindIR thermal imaging camera; one quad-screen 7-inch LCD monitor displaying feed from the side- and rear-view cameras; one 5.6-inch LCD monitor displaying feed from the grill-mounted thermal imaging camera; and two control boxes mounted beneath the rear seat. This is a thorough collision avoidance safety job, well done!
