SCRUM Magazine – September 2019

F

Fleet Line Markers Limited has

recently invested considerably

in research and development

• resulting in a flurry of new products
  becoming available for customers. In 2018
  alone, Fleet brought three new products
  to the market - the COG Aline Marker, the
  latest version of the MAQA GNSS Marking
  System and The Flozle Nozzle spray head.
  Perhaps the most exciting new launch was
  the COG Aline Marker, a revolutionary
  new system which promises to bring an
  “entirely new approach to the line marking
  world.”
  The COG Aline Marker has been designed
  to be environmentally friendly and also
  eliminate paint wastage. The COG Aline
  Marking System’s bespoke drums can
  be used repeatedly, saving money and
  helping the environment by reducing the
  number of single use plastic drums thus
  preventing waste. Fleet expect these
  COG drums to be re-used in excess of 50

times. When the COG drums do eventually

reach the end of their re-usable life, they

can simply be recycled.

Their unique shape and design also

means that, during shipping, the COG

drums are completely stable - with no

more than one strap to hold them, this

eliminates single use wrapping and/or

plastic pallet covers. Fleet now expects to

decrease the amount of “pallet one-way

plastic” by 40-50 tonnes per year used.

Once fitted on the COG Aline Machine, a

single COG drum is enough to mark up

to three senior rugby pitches. When the

COG drums are empty, Fleet will arrange

to collect, at no further charge, and the

re-using cycle begins again.

As well as being environmentally friendly,

the COG Line Marking System is an

extremely clean and convenient system

to use. The COG drum is attached to the

COG Aline with ease, making spillages a

thing of the past.

“Here at Fleet we strive to reduce our

carbon footprint,” Iain McGuffie, Managing

Director. “The COG System eliminates

single use plastics - and each single use

plastic drum can contribute up to 6kg of

carbon dioxide per drum.”

“In keeping with Fleet’s commitment to

the environment our target is to eliminate

more than one million tonnes of carbon

dioxide over the next five years.”

The COG Aline Marker is also suitable for

marking lines on synthetic grass, tarmac

and concrete surfaces as well as EPDM

rubber surfaces. Fleet manufacture a

wide range of water-based paints for

all surfaces mentioned. The paints are

available in white, yellow, red, blue, green

and black. They can, of course, be mixed

together to achieve other colours if so

desired.
