[QUOTE="HTSCarlB, post: 458868, member: 20115"] You right, someone needs to get killed or hurt badly before anyone does something. Actually... were now finding out that many parcel and beverage companies have paid out hundreds of thousands of dollars to settle and hide liability accidents caused by hand trucks. Some of the lawsuits get into the millions of dollars, because of deaths or physical diability. We did a trade show last year and discovered an Anhueser Busch beer distributor that lost a hand truck off the back of their side-loader semi trailer. The vehicle was traveling 65 mph down a large interstate highway in Texas and it caused a UPS tractor with doubles to roll over on it's side. Luckily the UPS driver was not seriously injured. Our HTS device is a safety and productivity enhancement tool. It can also increase cargo space in smaller Sprinter and Ford vans, reduce freight damage and it eliminates forgetting your hand truck and having to retrieve it several miles back. Our time studies can prove that we can save some drivers 15-30 minutes per day. I have worked out of a small cargo vans with a hand truck. I usually moved or shuffled my hand truck away from my shelves and packages more than I used it. Sorry about that... I didn't mean to sound like a salesman. Our entry into the beverage and food service market continues to grow. Maybe in the future more parcel companies will understand our HTS Ultra-Rack 8-10 month payback and realize the other large list of other safety and productivity benefits. UPS drivers see alot out there and if you see or hear about another beverage truck, food truck or highway accident caused by a loose hand trucks or a hand trucks just laying on the interstate, please give me a shout when you have the time. Thanks again for your help. [/QUOTE]
