Product details

The GO Thermoplastic Screed Box is a hand-drawn applicator for laying molten thermoplastic road marking material. The operator walks the box along the line and material feeds from the hopper through the screed gate onto the road. Two stability wheels carry the box at a constant height so the film goes down evenly, and a pointer mounted ahead of the gate lets the operator track a chalk line or string line without watching the box.

This is the tool for the marking a walk-behind unit cannot reach or is not worth setting up for. Pedestrian crossings, stop bars and holding lines, arrows, letters, numerals and symbols, car park bays, and patch repairs where a short run of new material has to tie back into existing marking. It comes in four line widths, 100, 150, 200 and 300 mm, each with a hopper sized to the width so a wider line still gets a useful run between refills. Width is fixed by the model, so every pass comes off the same as the last.

Thermoplastic goes down molten, between 180 and 210 °C. The material has to be brought up to temperature in a thermostatically controlled preheater and worked by an operator trained to handle it at that heat. Lay it on a clean, dry, prepared surface. Concrete is not a straightforward substrate and needs surface treatment and priming to the material manufacturer's instructions before any thermoplastic goes down. Talk to us about application training and getting a crew set up.

Features
  • Hand Drawn: Pushed or pulled at walking pace, with no engine, hydraulics or compressed air to start, fuel or maintain.

  • Stability Wheels: Two wheels carry the box at a constant height through the run, so the material lays down at an even thickness instead of riding up and down with the operator.

  • Forward Guide Pointer: A pointer runs ahead of the screed gate on the line being followed, so the operator sights the mark rather than guessing off the side of the box.

  • Fixed Line Width: 100, 150, 200 or 300 mm, set by the model. Nothing to calibrate between jobs and no drift in width across a run.

  • Hopper Sized To The Width: 2.5 L on the 100 mm through to 7 L on the 300 mm, so the wider models still cover useful ground between refills.

  • Galvanised Steel: Bolted steel construction with a galvanised finish, for a tool that gets loaded hot and knocks around a ute tray between sites.

Warranty

12 month warranty from the date of purchase against defects in material and workmanship. Our obligation is limited to repair, replacement or refund of the purchase price at our discretion, where the product is returned to us freight prepaid and is found on examination to be defective.

It does not cover general wear and tear, or damage caused by misuse, misapplication, improper maintenance, modification or tampering. Because thermoplastic is applied molten, it also does not cover damage caused by operating the applicator outside the material manufacturer's stated temperature range.

Nothing in this warranty excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law.

FAQs

Common questions.

Which model should I order?
Pick the model by the line width you need to lay: GOSCB100 for 100 mm, GOSCB150 for 150 mm, GOSCB200 for 200 mm and GOSCB300 for 300 mm. The width is fixed by the box, so it is worth matching it to the marking you do most. The hopper is sized to the width as well, from 2.5 L on the 100 mm up to 7 L on the 300 mm, so a wider box holds more material and you refill less often on a long run.
What else do I need to run one?
The screed box is the applicator only. You will also need the thermoplastic material itself, a thermostatically controlled preheater to bring it up to application temperature, and the heat resistant gloves, face shield and protective clothing for handling material at 180 to 210 °C. Depending on the substrate and the material you may also need a primer, and drop-on glass beads if the marking has to be retroreflective. Give us a call if you are putting a kit together and we will talk you through what the job needs.
What temperature does the material go down at?
Between 180 and 210 °C. Thermoplastic is applied molten, so the material has to be brought up to temperature in a thermostatically controlled preheater and held there. Running it too cool gives you poor adhesion and a rough surface. Running it too hot degrades the binder and can discolour the marking. Work to the temperature range on the material manufacturer's data sheet, because it varies between products.
Can I use it on concrete?
Not straight onto bare concrete. Thermoplastic bonds readily to bitumen and asphalt because the binder is compatible with the surface, and concrete gives it nothing to key into. If the job is on concrete, the surface has to be prepared and primed to the material manufacturer's instructions first, which usually means cleaning and mechanically preparing the surface and then applying the primer they specify. Skipping that step is the most common reason thermoplastic lifts off concrete.
What surface preparation does it need?
The surface has to be clean, dry and sound. Sweep or blow off all dust, grit and loose material, and remove any oil, grease or curing compound. The surface must be dry, not damp, because trapped moisture flashes to steam under molten material and blows the bond. Do not apply over failed or loose existing marking. On new asphalt, allow the surface to cure to the material manufacturer's stated period before marking it.
Is this suitable for long line work?
No, and it is not meant to be. A hand-drawn screed box is for intersection and detail work: crossings, stop bars, arrows, letters, symbols, bays and patch repairs. Continuous longitudinal lines over any distance are a job for a walk-behind thermoplastic striping unit, which carries its own melting kettle and lays a consistent film at speed. The screed box earns its place on the work those units cannot reach or are not worth setting up for. If you are marking long line, talk to us about the walk-behind range instead.
