Rice Lake Weighing Systems' Survivor series truck scales with ATK automated ticketing kiosk systems are said to provide durable and efficient solutions for the aggregates industry. The low-maintenance Survivor OTR Concrete Deck keeps downtime to a minimum. The concrete deck design incorporates galvanized steel sheets working in conjunction with I-beams, ensuring concrete remains above the neutral axis of the 12-inch-thick rigid weighbridge. For streamlined yard traffic, data management, and increased safety, the ATK auto- mated ticketing kiosk allows drivers to stay in the cab, improving safety and reducing liability. ATK systems automate everything from point of sale to account management and support automatic identi- fication of trucks and fully automated or semi-unattended ticketing.
