They were at the EXPO. Everybody was chuckling on how big they were. I'm talkin' huge!. Notice the pilot wheels. The units appear to be too heavy to move around without them (the helper wheels). They also incorporate heavy link chains for safety chains between the unit (on both sides) between the item being pushed..... I'm guessing to keep them from jack-knifing. We wouldn't be able to use more than one in a trailer...they'd take up way too much room. They are much taller than the LD's and LL2's. You'd have to get off the unit in order to pick up and move stencils. Check out the home page when you go to the link. At the EXPO, when asked why they built them so big, the reps replied "bigger is better" but never elaborated. I applaud them for their effort and welcome them to the industry, but am curious why they are waaay too big (just my opinion). The units look like quality materials and workmanship...just a lot of it! I'd be interested in buying one if they were smaller in size and price.
These guys were in Charlotte at the show. I think they were more interested in using it to push around billy goat blowers than striping machines. It was very large. I would think it would hold up well from the looks of it. I agree with Stripes, I might would be interested in one if it were smaller. Only so much room in a 6x12 enclosed.
