INSTALLATION IS HERE
Product Overview: Application of Raised Pavement Markers to road surfaces has long been an intensively manual and risky operation for pavement marking contractors. The Automated RPM Truck by EZ Liner offers a revolutionary alternative: a single-operator application system that reduces both labor costs and risk. From the driver’ s seat, the operator controls the bituminous drop puddle and marker placement using a custom-designed timer system and in-cab control screen. Markers are loaded and stored in a carousel on the deck and fed to the applicator carriage via timing system, which ensures accurate placement on the pavement. Designed for continuous motion, this system minimizes vehicle wear while maximizing safety and efficiency.
How It Works: As the vehicle moves forward, a timing system dispenses a bituminous puddle onto the pavement. A reflective marker is then placed into the puddle, with the applicator reloading between cycles. This unique patent-pending dual-arm design delivers consistent, zero-velocity, positive-pressure placement, securing each marker firmly into the adhesive. The carousel feeds the applicator automatically, enabling uninterrupted application.
Why It’ s innovative: The current standard method for RPM installation requires crew members to ride in a basket or outrigger close to traffic, dispensing bituminous and placing markers by hand, often stopping the vehicle for each one. EZ Liner – Arrow’ s automated system eliminates this risk by requiring only a single operator inside the cab. This system is also designed for continuous motion, reducing brake wear common with traditional methods. While automation of this process has been attempted before, few systems have reached market readiness— until now.
Industry Benefits: Safety is the driving force behind innovation at EZ Liner – Arrow. This automated system keeps workers away from the roadway, significantly reducing their exposure to moving traffic. With single-operator capability and continuous operation, companies will benefit from lower labor costs and reduced vehicle maintenance, making it a cost-effective, safety-forward solution.
