How Hantec Works

Current Methods

Current handling methods, which mostly use timber, are environmentally unfriendly as well as inefficient and expensive. Shipments require fumigation, cleaning and waste disposal as well as additional paperwork and inspections.

Work place injuries and inventory damage is commonplace.

On delivery, storing inventory efficiently and safely is very difficult. After arrival there are costly man hours and removal costs to dispose of the packing. Repacking inventory and shipping to clients is also expensive and cumbersome.

The Hantec Solution

The Hantec solution supersedes traditional handling methods.

Hantec is made of sturdy steel, making it re-usable many times during its life-span. Hantec requires no fumigation, additional paperwork or inspections during shipping. It is more efficient and easier to use, with no waste, and it costs no more to use than timber.

Hantec is tested and rated to handle up to 2.6 tons of product. This tough modular system can be used with a forklift, sling or crane. It can be re-used for all loading, unloading and storage, through all stages of product movement.

Due to Hantec's incredible design you will no longer need to move unpacked glass to an a-frame. Simply leave it stacked in the Hantec module when it arrives. This system allows you to easily move it around within your premises as well as to customers.

Unlike a-frames, glass can even be stacked up to three levels high using the Hantec solution, allowing a 200% increase in storage capacity.

Hantec is easy to use from the float line to the glazier as each piece of glass is accessible and easy to remove from the hantec modules. No specialised trucks are needed and Hantec allows for partial deliveries and requires no load space on return journeys.

A 2.6 ton block of glass can now be packaged or unpacked in under 5 minutes with Hantec. That is 75% quicker than current systems. The time taken to load or unload a 20 foot container can be halved or even cut by more than two thirds.

Workplace injuries and inventory damage will be reduced using Hantec during loading and unloading. Currently this is the greatest point of exposure to loss with traditional timber systems.

Even after years of use, Hantec is 100% recyclable. The world's hunger for timber will be reduced and the question of how to dispose of it will be a thing of the past. You can even return the Hantec modules to be re-used on future shipments.
