It can happen in an instant… a miscommunication, a poorly positioned truck, and disaster strikes. In a matter of seconds, someone’s life could be lost or permanently changed. An expensive truck may need major repairs or replacement, and your business could face serious financial risk.

Fortunately, Stansteel – Hotmix Parts & Service has developed the Look Lock ‘n Load Safety Loadout Truck Recognition System. It is designed to permanently stop the accidental asphalt drop. The system uses A.I. (artificial intelligence) to digitally scan an image of incoming trucks, and differentiates between the truck’s cab and its bed. The display indicates a red zone for the tractor cab and a green zone for the loading bed. Thousands of trucks of every size are stored in memory including trailers, bottom dump and pups.

While tracking the truck’s position in real time, it prevents the silo from opening until the truck bed is in the safe loading zone. The console allows manual load override and an optional key lock to prevent bypass load outs, if so desired by plant managers, and it interfaces with any brand of silo control system.

The yellow lines are stationary and indicate the SELECTED SILO GATE.

The blue and orange lines move with the truck and indicate the SAFE LOAD ZONE.

The Look Lock ‘n Load only unlocks the selected silo gate in the safe load zone.

The Look Lock ‘n Load system uses the latest in artificial intelligence to enable asphalt plant operators to load trucks while avoiding the danger of dropping silo loads onto truck cabs or other incorrect loadout positions.

A well tested product that will stop any chance of an asphalt dump is well worth the investment. The Look Lock ‘n Load has already been installed on several plants with great reviews.

“I was very skeptical, and tried for HOURS to make the Look Lock ‘n Load fail. It would not fail… We love the system.”

“We did not realize that we had that much of a problem and discovered there were accidental mix discharges all the time. We operate in multiple states and had over 25 accidental dumps in one year. This Look Lock ‘n Load could potentially save us hundreds of thousands of dollars and we have already purchased the Look Lock ‘n Load for over 30 plant locations.”

“One of our counties that buys mix told us they were not going to buy any more mix from our plant until we did something about the safety on our gates. We had two or three hood shots within the last few months and the drivers refused to come back until we had a solution. The Look Lock ‘n Load took care of that. We’ve now purchased one for our other plant.”

“ The Look Lock ‘n Load gives us so much more confidence and information when the truck rolls on the scale. We have timed it and our old load out time was about five minutes per truck, we’re now down to two minutes with the Look Lock ‘n Load.”
