Case Study 1: United States – Mid-Sized Property Maintenance Company
| Model | YG-CK360S |
| Thermoplastic Tank | synchronous clutch spreading, equipped with a speed-adjustable gear shifting device, single/double spreading can be selected according to needs, 50-200mm |
| Glass Bead Container | 10kg/box |

Client Background
A mid-sized property maintenance company based in the Midwest, USA, specializing in the upkeep of large chain supermarkets, logistics warehouses, parking lots, and internal roadways. The company’s older equipment mainly relied on outsourcing for line marking services, leading to profit loss due to outsourcing fees.
Challenges Faced
- Slow Response from Subcontractors: The subcontractors were unable to meet the urgent “nighttime construction and early morning operation resumption” deadlines, resulting in numerous customer complaints.
- High Labor Costs: Traditional hot-melt line marking required a large team, significantly reducing profit margins on projects.
- Inability to Quickly Respond to Small-Scale Repairs: The company struggled to meet customers’ last-minute requests for small repairs, damaging its “full-service” reputation.
Solution
The company purchased a high-efficiency hot-melt road line marking machine. The machine has a high level of automation, fast preheating, and rapid drying, perfectly aligning with the tight nighttime work windows. They trained two core employees to operate the machine, enabling them to complete key projects independently.
Results
- Flexible and controllable:The company gained full control over its line marking operations, allowing flexible nighttime scheduling to meet its primary customers’ strict requirements.
- Profit increase: After adopting self-construction, the gross margin for these types of projects increased by about 40%. The ability to quickly respond also secured the company “emergency maintenance” priority contracts with clients, providing additional stable income.
Client Feedback
“Owning our own hot-melt road line marking machine, the greatest value isn’t just saving outsourcing fees for a single job; it’s that we’ve regained control of the ‘remote’ service. Now, when a client calls and asks, ‘Can we get this done by Friday night?’ we can confidently say ‘Yes.’ This control itself is a premium service capability.”
Case Study 2: Africa – Road Construction Contractor
| Model | YG-CK380S |
| Thermoplastic Tank | synchronous clutch spreading, equipped with a speed-adjustable gear shifting device, single/double spreading can be selected according to needs, 50-200mm |
| Glass Bead Container | 10kg/box |
| Battery Capacity | 15AH |
| Battery Voltage | 48V lithium battery |
| Driver Speed | 1-8km/hour |
| Working Duration | Ensure the machine is moving in a straight line or turning freely on a curved road |
| Dimensions | 1200X970X1100mm |
Client Background
A local road construction contractor in Africa is involved in municipal road construction and maintenance. The company primarily uses general-purpose machinery but depends on expensive and inconsistent quality international subcontractors for line marking services.
Challenges Faced
- High Cost of International Subcontractors: International subcontractors’ high fees and scheduling issues often delayed the project timeline, leading to cost overruns.
- Lack of Specialized Local Line Marking Crews: The company struggled to find professional local line marking teams, resulting in inconsistent service quality.
- Fluctuating Fuel Prices: Traditional equipment consumed a lot of fuel, making it difficult to predict and manage project costs.
Solution
The contractor purchased several easy-to-operate, fuel-efficient, fully automatic hot-melt road line marking machines. The equipment was user-friendly, so the company trained its existing workers to form their own in-house line marking team, supported by systematic on-site training from the manufacturer.
Results
1. Reduced dependency: The contractor eliminated its dependence on subcontractors, taking control of the crucial final stage of road projects.
2. Cost reduction: The overall project timeline became more manageable, and costs were reduced by more than 25%.
3. More opportunities: Having an in-house crew ensured consistent quality, which gave the contractor an advantage in road project acceptance. As a result, they secured more road maintenance contracts from the local government.
Client Feedback
“In the past, we were always at the mercy of subcontractors for the final step (line marking) in our projects. Now, this machine has helped us transition from ‘civil contractors’ to ‘complete road suppliers.’ We not only earned money from construction but also gained the government’s trust. It’s a cornerstone in our company’s upgrade.”
