Recommend a line remover?

Anyone tell me who might sell one, symbol, no words. Thanks in advance!!

On the rare occasion I've needed a line remover, I've used various chemicals, a diamond blade on a flat grinder or just not taken the job. So I'm wondering if you can recommend a simple line remover that is reasonably priced. I don't like missing out on jobs but that being said I don't have a large demand for this service (yet!). No better place than here to get honest reliable answer. Frank

check with marathon equipment in Burlington, they can get anything you want made for the same price as ordering it directly from the states. http://www.marathonequipmentinc.com/

Frank, the answer to that question is job specific. For parking lots, you will generally be using a scarifier or shot blaster. We have both and there are situations for each.

I have, they need 4 weeks, and this is a rush job!

I didn't know that, good info for next time. Thanks all, but I ended up making my own stencil, had no luck elsewhere. Thanks again!!

Randy, can you tell me which models you use, about what they are worth and the pro/cons of each. I know thats asking a lot but if you don't mind typing a bit I sure would appreciate any insights you might be able to provide. Thanks in advance. Frank

We have two Edco CPM-8's, One Bartel 8" with a 5 hp and a BW Manufacturing 1200 ride on diesel with a shot blasting head as well as a 12" scarifying head. The Edco's are excellent for parking lot work and really great little work horses. With the Edcos, you need to know what cutters to use for various applications but we keep 4 grinding drums set up with various cutters & configurations for different tasks. Switching a cutting drum is quick and easy. In my opinion, the Edco CPM-8 is the smallest scarifier you would want for any serious removal. Any smaller scarifier simply does not have enough mass (weight) to be effective. The Bartel 8" we have is not heavy enough for serious work but is small and easy to use for removing a few lines here and there. For a used CPM-8, a reasonable price would be around $1200 - $1500 US depending on condition and what cutters it is loaded with. The con with walk behind scarifiers is the clean-up. We spend as much time sweeping and cleaning up as we do grinding. The CPM-8's are great production units and can remove a lot of 4" line as long as you have someone cleaning up behind you as you are grinding. We have used them for the removal of 12" thermo markings but they are almost too small to be productive doing that (which is why we bought the BW unit). The BW 1200 is in a category all in it's own. It is a massive grinder able to easily remove 1/8" X 12" wide of concrete in a pass and do it quickly and cleanly. It will cut asphalt even deeper if needed but for line removal, you normally want to only skim the surface. With the shot blasting head, it can be used for less damaging removal applications as well as surface prep for epoxy or urethane floor coverings. It is a great machine which comes with a great price $32,000 US for the base unit and another $6000 - $8000 for each attachment. Unless you have $40K laying around to throw into a big boy toy, you've gotta have work lined up to justify that expense. I have not used TLR or similar unit so I can't speak to how they compare to a traditional scarifier other to say that I have heard they work well - others on PLP have them and can give first hand experience for them. I have never seen the need for one with having the two edcos we have.

the cpm's are good grinders but they are widow makers without a line driver hooked to it , it will work you to death. but as randy says to remove 12" thermo is a little much. I also have a edco lnx model w/13 hp, and a smith 5 hp model which is a joke it is only good for removing fresh paint lines. I plan on buying a couple more cpm's next week.

Thanks to both of you for taking the time to provide me with some info. I really appreciate it. Now that I got a starting point I will start doing some of my own research. Frank

I've got a parking garage job that requires installation of 48" delineator posts with base. I've never purchased or installed these before and my questions are: Cost per post? Does the post include the base? Cost per base if not included? Bolt install kit & cost? Two part expoxy kit & cost? Preferred method of install on concrete? I'm looking for a general info response.

The posts should come with the base depending on what type you are looking at... Easiest way to install is with Bundy's... They are small pads made of the same hot-melt glue that's used on RPM's, you simply: sweep, place down Bundy pad, melt with blowtorch, stick in pole base and walk away. M_

Cost and supplier for the Bundy pads? Tat007

The best thing to do is talk to your supplier. That will anwser most of your questions, as well as cost and what is included.
