Field Marking Machine Lineup

1. FieldLazer Walk-Behind Stripers

When it comes to marking grass sports fields quickly and cleanly, FieldLazer machines offer a practical and affordable solution. Designed with airless high-pressure spray technology, these walk-behind line stripers apply sharp, professional-quality lines with minimal overspray or paint waste.

The FieldLazer S100, for example, features a compact frame, lightweight build, and a powerful Honda GX35 engine—making it ideal for parks, schools, and community centres. It supports standard 5-gallon pails of water-based field marking paint and offers adjustable line width settings for a clean finish every time.

These machines are built for rugged outdoor conditions common across Canadian cities and towns, ensuring reliable results season after season.

2. LineDriver Ride-On Attachments

Need to cover larger fields faster? The Graco LineDriver series turns your walk-behind stripers into efficient, ride-on systems. These attachments are fully compatible with most FieldLazer and LineLazer models, offering enhanced mobility and productivity, perfect for municipal contractors or sports facility managers.

Available in HD (gas) and ES (battery-powered) configurations, LineDrivers are built with operator comfort and control in mind. Key features include a cushioned seat, foot pedal control, and durable all-terrain wheels for navigating uneven ground. This system is especially useful for multi-field complexes or high-volume striping operations

3. LineLazer Professional Stripers

Graco’s LineLazer series represents the top tier of field marking equipment. These walk-behind or automatic stripers are engineered for maximum control, output, and line accuracy. Designed for use on grass, synthetic turf, asphalt, and indoor surfaces, LineLazer units are a smart choice for stadiums, athletic facilities, and contractors working across Canada.

Choose from models like the LineLazer ES 1000 for low-noise indoor jobs or the LineLazer V 5900 HP for high-output applications. Battery-powered models offer zero-emission operation, while gas-powered variants provide unmatched spraying power. Most units are compatible with LineDriver ride-on attachments and support LazerGuide 2000 laser alignment, which is ideal for precision line layouts.

Field Marking Paint Compatibility

All field marking machines available at Bolair are designed to work with the most common types of athletic field paint used in Canada. Whether you're lining a natural grass soccer pitch, a synthetic turf football field, or an indoor sports surface, proper material compatibility is key to achieving clean, durable lines and preserving your equipment.

Supported Materials:

• Water-based field marking paint (standard 5-gallon buckets)
• Low-VOC and VOC-free formulations for environmentally sensitive areas
• Synthetic turf paint with enhanced surface adhesion
• Removable field paint for temporary sports setups
• Chalk-based dry marking compounds (limited to compatible manual liners)

Machine Compatibility Notes:

• All Graco FieldLazer and LineLazer units are optimized for airless spray application of water-based paint.
• Battery-powered models like the LineLazer ES 1000 are ideal for indoor use with low-odour paints.
• High-output gas-powered stripers support thicker paint viscosities commonly used for large field applications.
• Machines are not compatible with aerosol spray cans or solvent-based products.

Maintenance Tips:

To extend equipment life and maintain spray consistency:

• Use clean, filtered paint to avoid clogs
• Rinse systems thoroughly after each use with water or manufacturer-approved cleaner
• Use bucket-ready hoppers when possible to reduce paint transfer and mess
• Avoid letting paint dry in hoses or tips

Eco-Friendly Options:

More schools, municipalities, and sports clubs in Canada are switching to low-VOC or eco-certified athletic paints. Bolair’s recommended machines are compatible with these environmentally responsible formulations, helping you meet local health and safety standards without sacrificing performance.
