If you are the owner of a large factory and you need to paint lines onto your premises' floor, here are some tips that should enable you to complete this task in an efficient manner.

Use a ride-on line marking machine from Graco

Whilst manual line marking machines are ideal for adding lines to small areas, they are not always suitable for use in situations where large spaces need to be painted.

In these circumstances, it is best to use one of the ride-on Graco line marking machines that are designed to be driven, rather than pushed. This type of machine features a seat, a steering wheel and a basic motorised driving system that allows it to be driven forwards or backward whilst the paint applicator component spreads the paint along the ground.

A ride-on line marking machine could be very helpful when you need to paint floor lines in a large factory. The reason for this is as follows; the motor will propel the machine across the factory floor at a far faster pace than you could if you were pushing a manual line marking machine by hand.

This is an important point to note if the factory is extremely large and you have a lot of ground to cover, as the ride-on machine will enable you to add lines to every area of this structure that you need to in a very short amount of time.

Additionally, your energy levels will not have any impact on how efficiently you can complete this task because the speed with which the machine moves will not be determined by how quickly and energetically you can push it along the ground. This means that even if you're extremely tired whilst you're using this equipment, you should still be able to do your job in a quick and efficient manner. If you're interested in purchasing a line marking machine, call a supplier like A1 Roadlines Pty. Ltd for more information.

Use high-quality paint

Another way to ensure that you complete this work efficiently is to use high-quality paint to create the lines. The reason for this is that cheaper brands of paint that are of a lower quality tend to be quite thin and transparent. As such, if you use low-quality paint, you may find that you have to apply several coats of it in order to ensure that each line is completely opaque.

If your factory floor spans several hundred metres and you need to create a lot of lines, the process of applying multiple coats to each individual line could lead to this task taking several times longer than it would if you were to use a paint that created an opaque line with one single coating.
