Tools&Equipment | Paint Products Graco launches new FieldLazer S90 field marking machine Graco Inc.'s FieldLazer S90 is the industry's first battery-powered, high-pressure airless sports field marking machine. It is an affordable, easy-to-use striping solution with proven Graco FieldLazer spray technology that reduces paint costs by up to 75%. The field marker delivers professional, bright, long-lasting lines for up to 10 soccer fields or one football field on a full charge, powered by a 12V battery.

The removable, Tilt-N-Pour 6-gallon paint hopper minimizes refills and is easy to fill, remove and clean. The FieldLazer S90 marking system is compact and portable with an adjustable handlebar for comfortable spraying at all heights and for easy transport and storage.
