Less labour, less time and no waste with new line marker for university

Les Gibbs, Grounds Manager at the University of South Wales Sports Park has recently invested in a new Kombi Ranger line marker after a successful trial, on account of its new innovative features.

“It’s simple, it’s quick to use, and there are two marked benefits with the new model,” says Les, who has worked at the University complex for over 40 years.

“One of the best things about it is that our groundsmen can walk at different speeds and still get the same even application and this is down to the variable speed pressure control.

“We also don’t have to premix the paint, because it comes ready mixed and it holds a 10 litre drum, recirculating it around the system for mixing.

“This results in less spillage and less water used as all we have to do is put it in the drum, shake it and off we go,” says Les.

The Ranger can also be used with Fleet’s range of concentrated paints in 10 or 12.5 litre drums.

The University of South Wales Sports Park is a 30-acre site, with four football pitches, two rugby fields and mini football pitches, as well as one of the biggest rubber crumb 3G artificial pitches in the UK.

“We have plenty of footfall from University students and international professional teams and we therefore need line markings which are quick to apply and paint that’s durable,” says Les. “The Fleet paint can last over two weeks on turf without over marking,” adds Les.

Iain McGuffie, owner of Fleet Line Markers, leading manufacturer of line marking equipment and the largest producer of line-marking paint in the UK, says the new Kombi Ranger was engineered with the user in mind, designed from customer feedback.

“It has a 24-volt battery, which is easily removed for charging on a docking station, meaning there is no need to take the machine to the charge point, just the battery!”
