Graco FieldLazer S90 Battery Powered Field Marking Sprayer Case Study

Challenge:
Brian McGuire is Grounds Superintendent for the City of Reynoldsburg, Ohio, overseeing seven parks, totaling 275 acers. Thirty acres are designated for multi-use sports with 19 baseball fields, 11 temporary/ seasonal soccer fields. They also host a flag football league, four tennis courts, two community gardens and five outdoor playgrounds.

Prior to working for the city, Brian served as the assistant superintendent of a private golf course for 14 years. Brian has a lot of experience lining athletic fields and has a staff of five full-time and up to 10 seasonal employees that implement the process. He was using aerosol paint & four wheel hand carts to line his fields. This method was spending up to $45 per case for aerosol paint. This cost was really cutting into his budget so Brian searched for a better option.
