Has anybody had experience with these units, how do they perform?

The ones on this page http://www.sa-so.com/egiWeb/Controller.jsp?pageId=28&… look like junk. They might work ok if you plan on striping soccer fields but not parking lots.

It is a Titan Speeflo with a bigger pulley to get the stated 3 GPM. My question is, what size is the pulley? Can someone tell me the size of the pulleys on the pump and engine that Beeliner is using? This is a great machine for high production, I use one, "Stripes" use them, Wend has her favorite "Ole Throb"! I really like the machine and it has it's purpose but they are bigger and heavier, more cumbersome than the competition for sure. And I would never even consider one if I didn't have the LazyLiner behind it.

The Beeliner is an entry level road striper that uses en existing parking lot machine unit as its pump, so you can use either Graco or Titan (as pictured). I have not used one, but I have heard from an old distributor of theirs that they are very expensive for what you get, it was reccomended to me to get a Road Lazer or similar instead. the bigest drawback is the small amount of paint you can hold, as well as the small amount of beads. I know these guys were at the East show a few years back, heck maybe it was even last year? I don't remember, but anyway they had a machine there to check out, IMO I thought it was overpriced as well for what you got.

Watch ebay, there are Road Lazers all the time. There is one right now for around 4000.00, needs some work but not that much. Jim

Don't get me wrong I like sealing but we have not had to do a full layout in awhile. But Today! I have all but forgot about the blue prints being wrong! We lay out the entire parking lot and have a long all the way across the lot for a guide and I look back across the lot and what do I see. The man made curb has a really strong angle degree on it. When we were on the part of the lot were the curb was at. Did we notice it? No But all in all we made the lot look really good in the end. From some reason I keep saying that after every job "That was the best one I have every done" I know going into to every job now we have to get ready for anything (tips, people asking me for money, running out of paint and not knowing it and of course the lovely man made curbs) -Dean

I hope they were talking about the real striper that Robert mentioned and not the ones I talked about.
