With a normal field striper machine, there is a lot of hassle with measuring up the different field types and sizes, below here you see what you need to do and prepare with a field striper.
Field marking is one of the many tasks that is maintained by employees maintaining the sports fields. With huge sports grounds with multiple fields, it can take a long time for the greenkeepers, which could easily be automated with Turf Tank One.

Three difficult steps
- If the turf hasn’t already been marked, you are in for quite a lot of work. First start to measure out the field in order to paint the correct stripes, this typically requires a minimum of two people to perform.
- Now you are ready to start pushing the Field Striper onto the field, use a maximum concentration level in order to try and get as straight lines as humanly possible. If you use a thin line of rope to aim for, then be careful not to mess up the paint when you remove the rope.
- If it starts to rain the next couple of days, start over again.
Three easy steps
- Turn on tablet and choose which type of field to paint – Set starting point or use pre-saved starting point
- Enjoy the view of Turf Tank one painting your sports field with a precise accuracy and perfect lines
- Drive Turf Tank One back to charge station

Reduce paint consumption compared to Manual Field Striper Machine
The Turf Tank One is also programmed to reduce the use of paint used marking up a sports field. With a close eye on the amount of paint used and still making clear and visible lines, you can reduce the consumption of paint by 50 percent, compared to a manual field striper.
When companies and sports clubs are focused on reducing the waste of resources, this will help sports clubs and companies have a better impact on cost and climate.
Running on a battery the machine can also run solely on green energy if offered by your electrical supplier. The lithium-ion battery is strong enough to line up four full-size soccer fields before it needs to be recharged. It works on multiple surfaces like grass, artificial turf, and even dirt.

CUSTOMERS TESTIMONIALS
What do our customer think – going from manual Field Striper to Turf Tank One Robot
The robot has been used at all kinds of sports facilities. At Liberty University the ground keepers say, “this robot has saved us from walking 50 hours per week”. The Grounds Manager at Darlington School has said “This work used to take up to a week for two people to paint the grounds. Now, this can be reduced to an atomized robot’s work, which is done much quicker, and it has reduced the costs of the school. Now, this money can be spent on something else to the advantage of the students.”
Often the work is not even done by greenkeepers. Multiple sports clubs don’t have staff hired to line up fields before sports tournaments. Here the lining instead is done by volunteers, coaches, or other staff with more important tasks. Coaches have said how they have saved 5 hours of work with the Turf Tank One when they are organizing tournaments and planning the volunteers work schedule. This is time that can instead be used with the team to focus on the sport.
Why are Turf Tank One the ultimate Field Striper
Stripers require precise work from greenkeepers. The position of the line is ultimately marking the difference between a free kick or a penalty. There are specific requirements of how long the field should be, and it is not an easy task to do this precise work over huge distances. A lot of concentration is required to make sure that two teams are playing at equally large parts of the pitch. One team shouldn’t have an advantage over the other just because of mistakes when the striping was done.
The lines need to be accurate and with the advanced GPS technology of this automatic field striper machine, it will draw precise lines. It can keep the overview of lengths and angles over huge distances and do the work a lot faster than the greenkeeper who needs to take time off to measure all the lengths. For future effectiveness, the work will be remembered by the GPS knowledge, so it can quickly recreate previously lining. And if old lines need to be striped up again, the accuracy is 100 percent. Quick, easy, and effective.
Sometimes you will also need other layouts that are unusual to your normal layouts. Maybe you have the task of lining up a soccer field, baseball field, or something else you are not used to. This will be easily handled by the automatic field marking machine, which already knows how to stripe up these grounds. All can be controlled with the tablet, which will control the movement and work of the robot.
