Here at Infinity, we use parking lot striping machines every time we paint a parking lot; that’s given us a lot of insight into which machines are the best. In this guide, we’re going to briefly explain what parking lot striping machines are and why we use them. We’ll then list (in no particular order) some of our favourite parking lot striping machines.
Let’s dive right into it!
What Are Line Striping Machines?
Line striping machines are machines that are specifically designed to paint parking lot stripes and symbols. No one in our industry paints lines by hand—we all use line striping machines.
The Benefits of Parking Lot Striping Machines
Parking lot striping machines offer a few huge advantages over hand painting:
- Lines are always a consistent thickness
- The machines are easy to move around
- They allow us to paint parking lots more quickly
Any professional worth their salt will use a line striping machine—they’re way more efficient than any other method of painting parking lots.
Our Picks for Some of the Best Parking Lot Striping Machines
Newstripe EcoLiner Plus Battery Powered Field Striper
Even more affordable than the PowrLiner 850, the EcoLiner Plus is battery-powered (instead of gas-powered). As a fairly small unit, it’s mostly used for athletic fields, but you could use it for a small parking lot.
Newstripe Self-Propelled Airless Striping Machine 4600
It’s right there in the name—this machine is self-propelled, reducing the need to push the machine. Line striping can be tiring work; this machine makes it easier.
Newstripe RollMaster Line Painting Machine 1000
The RollMaster 1000 is the most affordable machine on this list; it’s manually operated with a mechanical pump and is perfect for small parking lots. The main disadvantage is that it can’t be used with fast-dry paint.
Graco RoadLazer
Graco is our go-to supplier of parking lot striping machines, and the RoadLazer is their most powerful model. 5 or more guns can be attached to the unit – it has a modular design – and it’s perfect for large striping projects, like road or airport striping.
Graco LineLazer with LineDriver
The Graco LineLazer is one of our favorite parking lot striping machines; and when you add the LineDriver attachment, it becomes a riding line striper. The LineLazer offers an airless striping system that’s incredibly accurate and user friendly – perfect for parking lots of all sizes.
