MRL Equipment ’ s compact , agile , and highly productive Mini Mac 400
Throughout the pavement marking industry , thermoplastic road markings are widely used and known to be one of the most durable of all road markings . With the growing nationwide demand in infrastructure , the need for thermoplastic striping continues to grow exponentially . For detail markings , stripers have traditionally utilized push propelled applicators , with not many upgrades or changes to this equipment in decades . Not only is this method slow and labor intensive , but there are numerous developments in recent years that could all but eliminate the grueling task of pushing a detail striper . MRL Equipment Company ’ s Mini thermoplastic product line offers innovation in thermoplastic detail road marking equipment . Specifically , their Mini Mac 400 Detail Striper , a versatile self-propelled ride-on unit , offers features that have gained industry attention with numerous advantages over the older push model striper . Its one-man operation makes short work of intersection , crosswalks , and lane markings . Roughly the size of a riding lawnmower and powered by a 25 hp Kohler motor , MRL ’ s mini – yet mighty – detail striper is agile and compact in design , making it perfect for road marking application in congested , urban areas and limited work zones . The Mini Mac 400 comes equipped with
a material tank that holds 400 lbs ./ 181 kg . of pre-melted thermoplastic material , yielding 2-3 times the production of a push handliner . MRL ’ s Mini product line utilizes hydraulic power along with an exclusive hot oil heating system to maintain proper material temperature and correct application rates . Gravity fed glass bead systems with either single or double drop options improve overall installed road marking reflectivity . The Mini Mac ’ s standard 100 lb . / 45 kg . bead tank is available with additional bead system options , including single drop and double drop pressurized systems that can be utilized when specific types of glass beads are needed for proper reflectivity or government regulations . The capability of applying multiple line widths and symbols without further physical effort of the operator is yet another advantage of MRL ’ s Mini Mac Detail Striper . The operator may change line widths “ on the fly ” without having to physically change any components on the striper . Specifically , MRL ’ s most common application die , the Quad Die , allows the operator to adjust between single line widths of 4-inch , 6-inch , 8-inch and 12-inch via the machine timing system in the operator console . Double line application of a 4-inch line / 4-inch gap / 4- inch line , typically used on the centerline markings , can also be achieved by utilizing the standard timing system . By using electronic switches and not changing physical parts on the machine saves a tremendous amount of job time , all with safe marking installation and decreased intersection work zone time . With numerous options available , MRL ’ s Mini Mac is fully customizable for any operator ’ s needs . Options include : electronic skipline timing system , laser guidance , custom “ easy load ” transport trailers , and many more . Units are available in both right-hand and left-hand drive models and with multiple die configurations . Standard Mini Mac equipment colors are Lime Squeeze Green , Traffic Orange , Safety White , or Signal Yellow . Or you can customize your unit with your very own custom powder coat color at no extra charge . Downtime with equipment can lead to substantial profit loss . This is where MRL ’ s industry-leading parts department and customer service really offer the operator advantage , with parts in stock and experienced technicians on call . MRL ’ s Mini product line has pushed innovation to a level that will initiate change within the road marking industry and create safe , profitable equipment for the end user . » «
