Ensure Peak Performance of Your Equipment: Winterization for Pavement Marking Systems

The slower winter months are the perfect opportunity to give your pavement marking equipment some TLC. Based in Muncy, PA and serving customers across the U.S., MB Pavement Marking Solutions recommends taking this time for general maintenance and upkeep. Proper winter preparation protects your investment, ensures reliable performance, and extends the life of your equipment—so when it’s time to hit the streets and lay down stripes, your machines are ready to go.

Why Winterization Matters

Paint systems and pavement marking equipment are precision machines. During storage, residual paint, water, or other chemicals can settle or freeze, causing clogs, corrosion, or mechanical failure. Winterization ensures that:

  • All paint and color systems are cleared and protected
  • Hydraulic and water systems remain corrosion-free
  • Compressors, pumps, and agitators are safeguarded
  • Equipment is ready for a smooth startup next season

 

By taking preventative measures now, you reduce downtime, avoid unexpected repairs, and maximize the life of your fleet.

Proper winterization protects your pavement marking equipment from freeze damage, corrosion, and system clogs, keeping your fleet ready for the next season

On-Site Winterization Services

MB Pavement Marking offers flexible on-site winterization solutions:

  • Technician-Led Winterization: Our team can come directly to your site and winterize your paint system so it’s storage-ready.
  • Crew Training: A technician can train your operators on best practices specific to your equipment, empowering your team to handle winterization independently in the future.

 

Both options ensure your equipment is properly protected and your team is equipped with the knowledge to maintain peak performance.

At MB’s Joliet and Muncy facilities, equipment undergoes complete flushing, system testing, and antifreeze protection to guarantee reliable performance next season.

For a thorough approach, MB Pavement Marking also offers factory winterization at our Joliet, IL, or Muncy, PA facilities:

  • Complete Color Flush: All paint systems are purged to prevent settling or chemical damage.
  • Full System Water Test: We inspect and test compressors, diaphragm pumps, agitators, heat exchangers, high-pressure pumps, bead and paint guns, carriages, and all plumbing.
  • Final Winterization: After testing, antifreeze is added to protect all paint systems from freezing during storage.
