Safe-T Sampler
The Safest Way to Collect Hot Mix Samples
The Safe-T Sampler is a safe, efficient, and consistent solution for collecting hot mix asphalt samples from dump trucks. Designed to eliminate burns, heavy lifting, and fall hazards, this hydraulic sampling system ensures accurate, repeatable samples while protecting operators and reducing costly lost-time accidents.
Why Use the Safe-T Sampler?
Improved Safety
Traditional sampling methods often require climbing on trucks, heavy lifting, or leaning over hot mix — leading to burns, strains, or even falls. The Safe-T Sampler eliminates direct contact with trucks and hot material, reducing the risk of costly accidents.
Consistent Sample Collection
The hydraulic arm ensures every sample is taken the same way, improving testing consistency and reducing error.
Easy-to-Use Controls
Simple joystick operation allows any trained operator to safely and effectively collect a sample, with dedicated controls for each movement.
No Heavy Lifting
No bending over the truck and lifting mix — just safe and efficient sampling from the anti-skid platform.
Collect HMA Samples Safely
Collecting hot mix samples shouldn’t come at the cost of safety. The Safe-T Sampler provides a safe and easy-to-use solution for obtaining hot mix samples directly from trucks before they leave your asphalt plant. Designed with both operator safety and efficiency in mind, this elevated stand with a hydraulic scooping arm eliminates the risks of traditional sampling methods.
How the Safe-T Sampler Works
- The operator stands on the tread-plate, anti-skid platform, with a clear view of the truck bed and material.
- Using joystick controls, the operator positions the hydraulic sampling arm into the hot mix.
- The sampler’s jaw collects a 20-pound uniform sample of hot mix.
- The arm is hydraulically guided to the splitter chute located at the side of the structure.
- The sample is safely retrieved for testing without the operator ever making physical contact with the truck or material.
With 180° motion capability, the Safe-T Sampler makes it easy to position and deposit material safely every time.
Key Safety & Efficiency Benefits
- Dedicated control for each movement making it safe and easy for anyone to use.
- No heavy lifting or physical contact with the truck or hot mix.
- Eliminates the costly risk of lost time due to accidents
- Improves sample collection consistency and efficiency
