[QUOTE="HTSCarlB, post: 458881, member: 20115"] Thank you and thanks for the compliment about the HTS Ultra-Rack! Your right... in some cases the hand truck will get a little dirty on the side rails. This depends on the winter and dirt area regions or the local climate. Beverage companies have been carrying hand trucks on the front and rear of route trucks acroos the country for over 40 years. We began studies several years ago to see the wear and dirt issues. The hand truck rinses clean in rain and the cargo never seemed to be damaged by some water or dirt residue on the narrow hand truck rails. Contact was very little or zero to most boxes. On occassion in heavy Winter weather the hand truck handle may get dirty if the rain or wind doesn't remove any road dirt before the driver grabs it. When a driver is wheeling his hand truck in the rain or through muddy or snow covered sidewalks the condition of the hand truck frame was the same. Another benefit of the HTS turned out to be that less mud and snow was tracked back into the cargo area of parcel vans and armored car vehicles. This means less water, dirt, salt and corrosion to the steel floors. Hopefully keeping the floor less wet, preventing slips and falls and keeping our fragile cargo from getting damaged. :laughing: [/QUOTE]
