LEAVING A LASTING MARK
Removing a marking or modifying a pavement surface is only half the equation. Eventually, the pavement needs to perform its intended function again, and that often means putting a new marking back down. Thermoplastic, two-component epoxy and waterborne paint each have their own application characteristics, and the equipment used to apply them needs to accommodate those differences. MRL’ s pavement marking solutions address each of these needs. The ThermoPro is designed for thermoplastic applications, while the EpoxyPro handles two-component markings and the PaintPro is designed for waterborne paint. For thermoplastic work, the process can begin before the material ever reaches the striping machine. The ThermoPro Melter serves as a pre-melting kettle, helping prepare material for application. For operations that need additional flexibility at the jobsite, the DetailPro combines the ThermoPro Melter with deck space for additional material, handliners or other tools. And when the job calls for a smaller, more maneuverable approach, the Mini
MacPro 400 provides a ride-on thermoplastic marking platform in a footprint roughly the size of a tractor. We know that the application determines the solution, so the goal is not to make every job fit the same equipment. It is to give contractors the ability to select the approach that makes the most sense for the material, the surface and the scope of work.
WHAT COMING TOGETHER MEANS FOR YOU
Safety. Reliability. Productivity. Those are the driving forces behind our mission. It is how we think whenever we deliver a new innovative solution because as contractors ourselves, we understand what happens in a work zone. We understand the importance of making sure the job gets done efficiently, but also correctly. Whether it is HOG Technologies, MRL Equipment Company, or Blasters, we make machines that work as hard as you do because when a job demands you perform, you need equipment that can do the same. HOG Technologies, MRL and Blasters create value. The brands bring different areas of expertise and different equipment
configurations to the same broader challenge, giving contractors more options as they move from one stage of a project to the next. It is also a recognition that no two pavement maintenance operations are exactly alike. Some contractors specialize in marking removal. Others focus on grinding, grooving or rumble strips. Some handle complete pavement marking projects, while others need equipment capable of supporting a broad range of maintenance work. Whether the job calls for removing what is already there, preparing the surface for something new, modifying the pavement itself or putting down the final marking, HOG Technologies, MRL and Blasters offer solutions across the process. Because pavement maintenance is rarely one job with one challenge.
It is a series of challenges that need to work together. This is why we are working together: To meet those challenges for you, and to ensure that the job gets done.
