My latest build has been commissioned by a german leading pallet truck and forklift manufacturer.
I've built the entire line up of its truck range plus three different warehouse scenes: unload/upload, storage and picking scene (see the previous pictures). Every scene is fitted with the right forklifts.
The three different subjects are the advertising campaign of the company and in these days my work is featured on many logistic and transportation specialized magazines.
It's been very challenging and even funny building all the pallet trucks and forklifts and the company has been really satisfied by the work.
Thanks for stopping by.

Ik doe mee aan de foto7daagse, dit is dag 2.
De opdracht:
Wat is nu precies de bedoeling? Je gaat een foto maken met als thema "speelgoed". Dat kan je ook weer op verschillende manieren uitvoeren. Hebben de kinderen al hun troep laten liggen? Mooi moment om een keer niet kwaad te worden maar op zoek te gaan naar de schoonheid van de chaos. Maar misschien verzamel je wel treintjes op zolder, dan kan je je gang gaan! Of voor de mannen; laat je grote-mannen-speelgoed maar eens zien! Ik ben heel benieuwd of deze opdracht het kind in je weer naar boven gaat halen.
Het kind in mij naar boven halen was niet zo moeilijk! Ik moest ervoor eerst van mijn kast dit schaalmodel van de Toyota Tonero plukken, om vervolgens naar beneden onze showroom in te lopen en daar een 'grote-mannen-Tonero Toyota heftruck' te vinden. Gelukkig was mijn nieuwe collega Dirk zo aardig een helpende hand te bieden.

It quickly pays for itself, while it protects your business from liability and saves $$$ thousands per vehicle!

Another image I returned to in order to try some updated post-processing, resulting in a vast improvement over the original that I uploaded in 2010. This was shot as we passed Cumberland City, TN, enroute from M91 (Springfield, TN) to M93 (McKinnon, TN) on a murky, low-ceilinged winter day in 2008, hardly the best of conditions for shooting aerial images (2-16-2008).
The older chimneys (red-striped) are tied with 15 other chimneys (all in the US with the exception of one power generation plant in the Czech Republic) for being the 34th tallest in the world (tallest is 1377ft. in Kazakhstan).

The HTS-20S Swing Mount Ultra-Rack is designed for commercial cargo delivery vans.There are 15 excellent reasons to outfit and equip your delivery fleet with an HTS Ultra-Rack! The three most important benefits are safety, route time and fuel savings. The Hand Truck Sentry System is a tested and proven solution that surpasses ancient designs, unsafe methods and costly storage locations. Make the right choice! Take your fleet into a new direction where the road is much safer, your drivers and cargo better protected, while you're saving green in your wallet and in our environment! The HTS Ultra-Rack is safer, faster and easier than any other hand truck retaining method available. HTS Systems designed the HTS using automotive parts and manufactures the safest and most advanced hand truck securing systems in the commercial delivery industry! The HTS Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System is designed to be the best hand truck locking carrier rack in the world!
We guarantee that your route drivers will become very attached to the HTS Ultra-Rack in 2-3 days and their hand trucks in 2-3 seconds! Very Fast! The HTS is an innovative technology product and ergonomic process that allows your route drivers to work smart, not hard; saving you money every business day!
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.
Why purchase the safest and best delivery equipment for your company? Because if it's the safest method, it will quickly pay for itself and because it's the best known product available, then you're not using something that's second rate and an inferior method.
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 forklift is quickly becoming the most advanced piece of equipment that touches every part of the warehouse. More advanced on-board technology is improving operator productivity and enabling connectivity that helps to provide greater visibility into the warehouse environment. Learn more at www.crown.com.

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!
The HTS Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System is a safer, faster, easier and one-handed method; a patented solution that pays for itself over and over. 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.
It's time to discover what the beverage, freight and battery companies have known for many 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've seen the property damage, the highway accidents 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, but.... by all means, secure your hand truck within the cargo area, (as required by DOT safety regulations) if you don't have an HTS Ultra-Rack. We would rather see your drivers damage freight or pull a back muscle, than cause an auto accident and injure anyone on the interstate. It's true the exterior of the delivery vehicle is a superior location and a more ergonomic method for storing and transporting your hand truck. Make it a safe place out there for your drivers and for everyone, by ordering your new Hand Truck Sentry System today!
