E-100 PAINT BOOM -- UPDATED -- LIGHT, STRONG, QUICK CONNECT

Tru Mark Athletic Field Marker released an updated version of the Model E-100 optional Paint Boom. The Paint Boom has graduated to an all aluminum frame with durable plastic shields. The all welded frame has been strengthened yet features reduced overall weight for football hash marking, block lettering, and boundary lining. The redesigned connection bracket allows for quick slide on/off Paint Boom attachment and removal. The quick attach Guide Marker provides an accurate and visible tool for hash marking. The Guide Marker is adjustable to prevent dragging over painted lines.

• Light weight 4” x 24” paint box designed for easy nozzle access and visibility
• Steel mounting bracket for strength and quick spray boom attachment and removal, adjustable for different height settings
• Adjustable wide angle 2 spray nozzle assembly for overlap coverage
• Quick disconnect hose connector upgrade kit
• Guide Marker provides accurate hash line spacing with quick attachment and removal

"I now line our football field in 2 hours including all boundary lines, yardage lines and 4 sets of hash marks. The E-100 with the Paint Boom is easy to use and does a good job. It is easier to maintain and operate then our previous CO2 system. Our football field is used by 5 different teams and is used sometimes 3 times a week."

Tru Mark Athletic Field Marker also produces and sells a RS-500 self-propelled field marker that is capable of applying more than 250 linear feet of 4" line per minute. The two 20 gallon tanks make it a long endurance marker for large sport complex operations. If you have multiple field locations, Tru Mark produces the Paint Mule, a utility trailer to carry the RS-500 or three E-100s, 80 gallons of liquid, pumping transfer equipment, and storage for tools and supplies.

Here's what a satisfied RS-500 customer has to say
about the time and paint supply saving results.

"I would spend on the average of 35 hours using our old walk-behind sprayer to line our 30 field complex. Using our new RS-500 I'm able to line the same fields in 12 hours. We're very pleased with the efficiency and performance of the RS-500. We are using 50% less paint each week, where before we were applying 100 gallons of paint we are now only applying 50 gallons. It was so noticeable that the paint supplier called to find out why we using far less paint than before."
