Carl Harz Furniture, a family owned and operated company since 1948, is located in Elmer, NJ. It provides the highest quality of fine furniture and services to NJ, DE, and PA.

In June of 2004, Carl Harz upgraded their delivery fleet by implementing the cost-effective demountable truck body system manufactured by Demountable Concepts, Inc. According to Nick Harz, Operation Manager at Carl Harz Furniture, “We used to own three trucks with three driver/helper teams. This new system has reduced our fleet and driver/helper teams by 33%.”

Demountable Concepts, Inc. of Glassboro, NJ manufactures the demountable truck body system. This system allows delivery trucks to use multiple bodies to maximize efficiency. Bodies can be quickly demounted from a truck at the loading dock allowing a company to have a free-standing box at their warehouse. With multiple, interchangeable bodies for each truck, the company can load furniture during normal business hours. One body is standing at the warehouse being loaded while the other is on the truck making deliveries. When the driver returns, he swaps bodies and is ready to get back on the road.

According to Nick Harz, “My drivers never got on the road before 10:00 a.m.. Now they're out making deliveries by 8:00 a.m. Also, the number of loaders has been reduced from six to four.” This allows driver teams to get on the road sooner, thereby providing better service. In addition, Nick Harz states that, “Warehouse labor has been reduced and overtime has been eliminated for our loader teams.” Nick Harz and everyone else agrees that the Demountable Truck Body System by Demountable Concepts, Inc. is an ideal choice for any organization's delivery system. In conclusion, Nick Harz stated that, “The Demountable Truck Body System is ideal for small and mid- sized furniture companies because it streamlines the delivery for warehouse operations.”
