12000 MRL Thermoplastic long line truck in action! Alpha Space Control Inc took delivery of this truck and this was its maiden voyage! #construction #linestriping #linestripers
You build thermo trucks? This brand here im guessing? The company i work for has built their own thermo truck here in NC. From cab with frame up. Took us about 2 years. Just finished up actually. Maiden voyage next week. Im so excited to see something i helped build do what it does. If youre interested ill post the recording.
My Husband works for Alpha Space control the company that bought this truck. Hell he actually on the deck in this video for its maiden voyage. This truck is still going strong and ran around the clock 5 days a week its first season. He normally operate on long line paint trucks and he loves his job
I live in a city that I-5 runs through the middle of. Around here, the fog lines on I-5 have peeled off like stickers and lay twisted on the shoulder and sometimes even split at a point with 500' or more of these "stickers" laying across traffic lanes. I always wondered why they would use a sticker instead of paint, what exactly it was and how it was applied before it came loose. I accidentally stumbled across this video and it seems to have answered some of my questions. I assume it isn't a "sticker" but rather this stuff. Can someone who knows more than me tell me if what I'm seeing is this same process and if so, how did ODOT or whoever screw it up when applying it so that it came loose everywhere? I assume that it was an error on the part of the people who applied it or, it probably wouldn't be in use anywhere.
I don’t know how your city did it but I had to do it a couple times with not great results each time, it comes as a tape roll, lay it out and take a torch and sort of melt it to the pavement without burning the top layer
There is a type of road line tape that is glued down on concrete bridge decks, that's probably what ODOT had put down. Thermo sticks to asphalt very well, tape is for concrete and contrast.
