COVER STORY | ADVERTORIAL
Above : The Epoxy HOG is a plural component longline striping truck that can use epoxy or polyurea material .
Left : HOG ’ s newest innovation that embeds lateral melters within the body of the skid . Available as a skid , as a Mini HOG , or as a chassis-integrated truck .
HOG transferred the breakthrough design to a skid-based system . HOG ’ s skids come in sizes as small as a twin 1,250-pound skid , and all the way up to an 8,000-pound skid . Depending on the model , the skids can melt at rates of 2,000 , 6,000 and 8,000 pounds per hour . All sizes use the same melting technology as the Thermo HOG , with temperatures never exceeding 500 F . The skids are available in single- or dual-color configurations .
In addition , HOG has created a ride-on striping machine option called the Mini HOG . Slightly larger than a small tractor , this form factor machine can melt thermoplastic and apply it to the pavement without having to feed the material into a separate application vehicle or device . As a result , the Mini HOG is the perfect solution for smaller jobs such as parking lots , crosswalks and other road markings . The Mini HOG has a shoe applicator that allows you to customize your line widths . The shoe has four extrusion gates ; two that are 4 inches , and two at 2 inches . Simply open the knives to your desired line width . Now , HOG is cooking up new innovations by taking its melting technology and turning it laterally . The Thermo HOG , Mini HOG , and Thermo Skids are receiving a new lateral design that moves the melter into the bed of the skid . This unique concept reduces the footprint of our existing layout to give you more deck space for your material in www . callape . com [ 8 ] 1.800.210.5923
