Field Pump Rebuild Setup for Road Striping Crews

When a displacement pump needs service, a road striping crew needs more than a rebuild kit. The crew needs a stable way to hold the pump, control the mess, reach the components, and finish the rebuild without fighting the setup.

PumpLocked gives pavement marking and road striping crews a dedicated rebuild platform for supported Graco 1200, 1800, and 2400 displacement pumps. It is built to make field and shop rebuilds cleaner, more controlled, and more repeatable.

The problem with improvised pump rebuilds

Many pump rebuilds happen on cardboard, on the ground, on a bench, or in a vise setup that was never built for mobile pump service. That creates real problems for the crew: • the pump is heavy and awkward to control • leftover material can drain into the work area • key components are harder to access cleanly • the rebuild may require extra hands • the setup changes depending on where the pump fails • cleanup and reset time can stretch the job longer than it should For a striping business, downtime matters. A better rebuild setup helps the crew get the pump serviced and get back to work with less wasted motion.

A dedicated platform for pump service

PumpLocked is built to lock supported Graco displacement pumps into stable working positions. Instead of wrestling the pump through each step, the crew can work around the pump with better access and control. The platform does not replace the rebuild procedure. It gives the crew a better way to perform the work correctly, consistently, and with less mess.

Built for field and shop work

Road striping crews do not always have the opportunity to rebuild pumps under ideal shop conditions. Pumps fail on active schedules, in the middle of busy work seasons, and away from ideal service areas. PumpLocked is mobile and hitch-mounted, so it can support field service when a pump needs attention away from the shop. It also works as a cleaner shop setup when crews want a repeatable rebuild process instead of improvising every time.

Cleaner workflow and better access

A controlled rebuild setup helps keep residual material directed into a bin or controlled work area instead of spreading across the ground, bench, or pump body. Better positioning also improves access during disassembly, cleaning, packing, replacement, and reassembly. For crews that rebuild pumps regularly, that repeatability matters.
