FAQs

Common questions answered.

Five of the questions we hear most often on carpark and street linemarking gear. Full knowledge base on our FAQ page.

  • What does ATS 4110 require for a line marking machine?

    ATS 4110 Clause 6 requires the equipment to apply paint or long-life material to required dry film thickness with surface-applied anti-skid media and beads; carry automatic pattern control (skip-line capability); mark a double one-way or double two-way barrier line concurrently; produce similar retroreflectivity in both directions (within 15%); be a manoeuvrable rubber-tyred vehicle that holds true arcs on curves; and be tested and calibrated to achieve required application rates. Practical translation: a pressurised bead system (Reflective variants), automatic pattern control, dual-angle bead delivery. Drop-on-only entry units do not qualify.

  • What retroreflectivity does ATS 4110 mandate?

    Per ATS 4110 Annexure B Table B1b: white longitudinal markings 350 mcd/m²/lx within the first 30 days, 200 mcd/m²/lx between 365 and 395 days, intervention required below 150 mcd/m²/lx. Yellow tracks lower (200 / 150 / 100). Audio-tactile rib markings 150 mcd/m²/lx for life of rib. Wet retroreflectivity 80 mcd/m²/lx at any time after application. Each individual test result must exceed 95% of the specified value. Testing is per AGPT-T800 with site count by road length (2 sites for 5 km, 4 for 6-20 km, scaling up to every 10 km above 100 km).

  • Do I need PCCP accreditation to bid on public-road work?

    Yes. ATS 4110 Clause 4.1 requires the contractor to hold current Painting Contractors Certification Program accreditation under Category B 'Pavement markings' in the relevant class: Class 20 for long-run longitudinal markings on major roads, Class 21 for short-to-medium-run on minor roads, Class 22 for audio-tactile markings, Class 27 for pavement marking removal. The Quality Plan must be submitted at least 21 days before commencement of work (Hold Point 1) and must cover materials/datasheets, PCCP evidence, program of work, plant capability, application-rate verification, and field-performance testing.

  • What is the difference between walk-behind, self-propelled and truck-mount?

    Walk-behind units (LineLazer V 200HS, V 200DC, 130HS) are pushed by the operator at typical road-marking speeds of 4-8 km/h. Self-propelled units (LineLazer V 250SPS, V 250DC) drive themselves under operator control at up to 10 mph, suited to long highway runs where operator fatigue would otherwise affect line straightness. Truck-mount (RoadPak module + RoadLazer HPS) is for highway, regional council fleet, B-double depot and runway work: the module mounts on a custom GO-built truck or tow-behind, supports 4-gun arrays, and accommodates 200-650 kg pressurised bead tanks. Match unit to annual run length: walk-behind for under 50 km/yr, self-propelled for 50-500 km/yr, truck-mount for 500+ km/yr.

  • How do I bid on a state-body or council ATS 4110 contract?

    Three pieces. First, current PCCP accreditation in the right class (Class 20 for major roads, Class 21 for minor, Class 22 for audio-tactile, Class 27 for removal). Second, the equipment to meet ATS 4110 Clause 6: a Graco LineLazer V 200HS HP Reflective or V 250SPS HP Reflective for paint, a V 200MMA for cold applied plastic, a ThermoLazer ProMelt for thermoplastic, plus a RoadPak truck-mount build for state-body long-line. Third, the materials with current APAS approval (0041/5 waterborne, 0041/4 thermo, 0041/3 CAP, 0042 beads). The Quality Plan submission goes 21 days ahead of work (ATS 4110 Hold Point 1). We can supply the equipment and walk you through the equipment-spec section of the Quality Plan; the PCCP accreditation and material certification are on the contractor.

Choosing the Right Road and Highway Line Marking Machine

Road and highway line marking is governed by Austroads ATS 4110 (Longitudinal Pavement Marking, May 2021) and the relevant state-body specification (TMR, Main Roads, VicRoads, RTA NSW). The contractor needs current PCCP accreditation under Category B (Class 20 long-run major roads, Class 21 short-medium minor roads, Class 22 audio-tactile, Class 27 removal). The equipment needs to meet ATS 4110 Clause 6 capability: automatic pattern control (skip-line), the ability to mark a double one-way or double two-way barrier line concurrently, dual-angle bead delivery producing similar retroreflectivity in both directions (within 15%), and calibration to achieve required application rates.

Walk-behind ATS 4110 units. Graco LineLazer V 200HS HP Reflective (Honda GX200 6.5 HP, 2.15 GPM, 3,300 PSI, 0.034 inch max tip on 2-gun, dual auto guns plus dual 120 lb pressurised bead tanks, 3/8 inch x 22 ft BlueMax II hose, 189 kg) is the standard council and contractor entry. LineLazer V 200DC HP Reflective Dual Colour adds a second pump for centre + edge in one pass. For councils running smaller-scale public-road work, the LineLazer 130HS Standard (1 auto gun or 2 manual variants) is the entry walk-behind in this collection.

Self-propelled long-line. Graco LineLazer V 250SPS HP Reflective (Honda GX390 13 HP, 2.5 GPM, 3,300 PSI, 0.039 inch max tip, dual 120 lb pressurised bead, 10 mph operating speed, 302 kg, RAC 5 321/425/627 in kit) handles bigger flows and longer runs. Pair with LazerGuide 3000 for highway work where line straightness over distance matters. The V 250DC Reflective Dual Colour adds the dual-pump dual-colour delivery on the same self-propelled unit.

Truck-mount. For state-body highway, regional council fleet, and B-double depot work, the Graco RoadLazer RoadPak module (4-gun capable, belt-mounted with Taper-Lock pulley swap for drive-train matching) is the production unit. Three RoadPak configurations: standard System, HD (heavy-duty), and Tow-Behind T4. Plus the RoadLazer HPS with Dura-Flo XL pump for high-flow protective coating work. Custom GO truck builds add the tray, handrails, stairs, arrow boards, 200-650 kg pressurised bead tanks, and Skip-Line NZ camera and laser layout systems for runway-grade precision (~$300k+ inc GST, 4-month build cycle).

Bead, paint, training. ATS 4110 Annexure B Table B1b mandates 350 mcd/m²/lx dry retroreflectivity for white longitudinal markings within the first 30 days, dropping to 200 between days 365-395, with intervention required below 150. Yellow tracks lower (200/150/100). Achieving and holding those targets requires the right bead dispensing kit (Type B-HR 0.5-1 mm or Type C-HR 0.85-1.4 mm or Type D-HR coarse with adhesive coating, all per APAS 0042) at 50-60% bead embedment in the wet paint film at 350-400 micron WFT for waterborne paint with Type B beads. Every council and contractor purchase includes operator training, on-site commissioning, and the Stripe More Kit + spare Endurance Pump (Graco 246428) + Pump Armour 1 gallon (Graco 245133).
