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.

How much time and labor
does it take to install the HTS Ultra-Rack?
The HTS
is easy to install and
all attachment fasteners, templates and hardware are
included. The wiring harness is safe, easy and quick to install!
The HTS electrical
system plugs directly into
your vehicle’s fuse box, no wire taps, cutting or splicing required.
Trucks with Multiplex wiring systems may require a female
(provided) terminal
connection. The HTS installation time normally requires (1.5 - 2) hours
to complete wiring installation and unit assembly
procedures. First time installations may take longer,
please
review manual Please carefully read the entire HTS manual
before starting installation.
The installation time will vary depending on the body design
of the route
vehicle, the HTS unit model, mounting location
and familiarity with our quick and easy HTS Ultra-Rack installation manual.
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.

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!
The HTS Ultra-Rack is manufactured
from advanced light-weight high impact nylon polymers.
The HTS-10T is strong enough to support the vehicle weight
of a medium size SUV without damage!
What's
behind the HTS Ultra Rack rear cover plate? Take a look
inside.
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 LED dash release switch
mounts under the vehicle dash board.
HTS LED dash release switch also installs inside the dash
panel. HTS LED dash release switch can mount to
center console.
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!

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!
