CARDINAL SCALE Transreflective displays for easy viewing Depending on the specific application, the Cardinal Scale RE unattended system will incor- porate the Cardinal model 225 Navigator weight indicator or the model 825 Spectrum with a full-color graphics touch-screen display. Both of these systems incorporate transflective dis- plays for easy viewing and intuitive self-prompting steps for the driver to utilize. All Cardinal unattended systems include an inclusive QWERTY keypad on the weight display to take the guesswork out of data entry. The driver is prompted through the entire weigh transaction for the information your customer requires. This information is all recorded in the scale house on Cardinal's WinVRS truck management software. Write 38 on reader card KPI-JCI/ASTEC MOBILE SCREENS ALLIANCE TRUCK PARTS Facts and figures for producers KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens has released its newest version of Facts & Figures, a quick-reference guide containing comprehensive general technical information for aggregate and recycle producers, operators, engineers and maintenance personnel of KPI-JCI or equivalent crushing, screening, washing and material- handling equipment. The 216-page, pocket-sized book is the fourth edition since Kolberg-Pioneer began producing it in 1988. The guide's roots trace back more than 50 years ago, however, when Pioneer developed a Facts & Figures book in Minneapolis, Minn. Kolberg began producing an Aggregate Reference Guide during the 1970s, and when Pioneer moved to Yankton, S.D., to join forces with Kolberg, the book was combined into one, known as the Facts & Figures book. Write 39 on reader card PEXCO Waterproof back-up alarm sounds beep per second Alliance Truck Parts' new back-up alarm conforms to SAEJ994 standards and can be used on construction or agricultural ma- chinery, and any truck that requires this type of alarm. The back- up alarm offers waterproof construction using rugged ABS plastic to withstand pressure-washing, harsh environments and even impacts without damage. The unit's housing is designed to focus its 97-decible standard one-beep-per-second output to the rear where it is most needed. The unit's interior mechanism features solid-state electronics encapsulated in epoxy for increased dura- bility. The compact 4 inches wide by 1-5/8 inches deep by 2-3/4 inches in height size, universal mounting design and rugged stain- less steel terminals that resist corrosion simplifies installation. The alarm has reverse polarity protection built in, and low current requirements making it an easy addition to electrical systems al- ready loaded with accessories. Write 40 on reader card Delineator bounces back when hit Pexco partnered with the Alaska DOT to develop a new design of delineator that would improve visibility for Department of Transportation workers and the "ice road" truck drivers, as well as reduce maintenance for the agency. The "Dalton Delineator" is a cantilever structure consist- ing of a short length of a Davidson Flexi-Guide FG 400 Roadside Delineator post, mounted to a special flexible coupler. The coupler, in turn, is attached to a square steel tube support that is installed off of the traveled roadway. The delineator post or "arm" projects horizontally out from the shoulder, above the roadway; is capable of rebounding when struck; and provides excellent reflectivity at night.

This engineer- ing concept provides a cost-effective, long-lasting solution for salt and sand storage facilities. Legacy Building uses a durable, rigid frame in place of the hollow-tube, open web truss framing traditionally used for fabric buildings. Legacy's solid-structural steel beams are not vulnerable to unseen corrosion that originates inside a tube. Additionally, the hot-dip galvanized framework provides protection against challenging corrosive conditions. The buildings feature high-quality polyethylene fabric roofs that eliminate the corrosion concerns associated with metal-construct- ed facilities. A wide variety of PVC fabrics are also available.
