Description

The 3M™ Motorized Manual Highway Tape Applicator (MMHTA-18) is a motorized, two- wheeled device for applying 3M™ Stamark™ and Scotch-Lane™ pavement marking tapes (See Figure 1). The device is specifically designed to apply pavement markings precoated with pressure sensitive adhesive during and immediately following asphalt resurfacing operations. It can also be used to apply pressure sensitive adhesive coated markings on existing surfaces or temporary markings used in construction work zones.
