The temporary pavement marking system’s TPM 2100 applies “L” shaped reflective markers in adjustable patterns with greater accuracy than manual application. The patent pending design has many standard features that make it simple to operate. In addition to saving time, energy, and shoe leather, the TPM 2100 will save lives and labor through automation.
EASY OPERATION OF THE MARKER APPLICATOR TPM 2100
Putting temporary pavement markers down manually is a dangerous, labor-intensive process.
- Workers walk down the highway,
- Peel off the paper cover on the tab.
- Estimate distance and placement.
- Bend over to put a marker in place.
- Stomp on it to make it stick.
Compare that to the TPM 2100 Marker Applicator. You won’t believe how simple this is to run!
- Hook the power cables up to the vehicle’s 12 volt DC system.
- Put a worker safely into the truck bed.
- Drive while the worker in back loads the markers into the machine. This RAM machine is operable at speeds of up to 5 mph.
