How to maximise line marking comfort at your airport

Graco is renowned for its robust line marking units for all airports areas. Ensuring a high-quality result is key, but at Graco we also go out of our way to make line marking as easy and comfortable as possible for those doing the work.

Line marking airports requires accuracy and precision. Depending on what area and what specific lines need to be done, there are numerous quality and compliance requirements to be taken into account. On top of that, working circumstandces can be quite strenuous and shifts can be long. That’s why easy operation and maximised comfort are so important, and not just a nice-to-have. It enhances the quality of the work as well, so investing in some of these benefits is a win-win!

Graco’s LineLazer^® V line marking series offers a variety of multifunctional units that cater for all kinds of purposes.

• Our LineLazer V series can offer the following extra features:

o   DualComfort Handlebar System enables you to adjust the handle bar angle and height. You’ll really appreciate this extra comfort when line marking all day.

o   EasyMark Gun Adjustment System provides perfect two-gun alignment and solid gun control with a new dual gun clamp.

o   Improved Front Wheel Adjustement System makes straight tracking effortless.

o   Manual or HP Automatic Gun Control: whatever suits you best to get a specific job done. The Automatic guns allow you to spray different line markings, like skip or full lines, at the push of a button from the handle bar.

o   LiveLook Display with SmartControl helps track and monitor every aspect of line marking jobs.

o   HP AutoLayout System: it would be exaggerating to say the machine does the work for you. But the AutoLayout system definitely enables you to work faster, with less hassle and less fatigue. Preset the required layout and let it roll!
