Airport Discontinued: The Titan PowrLiner 550 is officially discontinued as of 2019. For a similar replacement, we recommend checking out the Titan PowrLiner 850.
The Titan Powrliner 550 is a fantastic Line Marking Machine for anyone just getting started in the Parking Lot Striping Business and also for the property maintenance professional who needs to stripe their parking lot. This airless line marking machine is not only lightweight, but is easily maneuverable and can be stored in most car trunks and be loaded by one person because it only weighs 67 pounds.
If you are in need of an athletic field marking machine, the Powrliner 550 is a great choice for schools on a budget that need professional athletic field marking equipment.
It uses a dependable, easy-starting 37.7 cc 4-stroke engine and pulls paint from a five gallon pail.
NOTE: Only use water based paint with this line marking machine. Oil based paint will clog the tips and pump. If you need to spray oil or solvent based paints, we recommend moving up to the PowrLiner 2850 Line Marking Machine or bigger.
At first glance, the biggest difference between the Titan PowrLiner 550 vs the PowrLiner 850, is price. So what's actually different?
There are a handful of key difference between the PowrLiner 550 and 850 that we feel is worth the extra money, or savings, depending on which direction you plan to go.
Fixed Front Wheel
The Titan PowrLiner 550 has a fixed front wheel which means it's locked in the "go-straight" position, forever. If you want to turn or re-position the PowrLiner 550, you have to push down on the handle bars to lift the front wheel. It's not a big deal, but it may or may not be for you.
When you compare the 550 to the PowrLiner 850, the 850 has a free rotating front wheel that you can also lock if you only want to go straight. In reality, the PowrLiner 850 gives you the best of both worlds. If you're painting football fields or line striping straight lines, then you won't have a problem with the fixed wheel on the 550. However, if you plan to do any circles or arcs, you'll want the PowrLiner 850.
Non-Detachable Gun
The PowrLiner 550 does NOT have a detachable gun for stencils. You can still do stencils by rolling the entire machine over the stencil, but it's a pain when compared to the PowrLiner 850 which does have a detachable gun and plenty of hose to walk around. If you plan to spray curbs, it's the same scenario of manuvering the 550 in a weird position to actually spray the curb. If stencils or curbs are important, you'll want to look more closely at the PowrLiner 850.
PSI Fixed Pressure Output
The PL550 has a fixed pressure output of 3000 PSI. This means you're either all or nothing when it comes to the pressure output and it doesn't make it a good fieldmarking striper for grass fields. In contrast, the PL850 has an adjustable pressure valve that lets you dial in the pressure between 400 PSI and 3000 PSI.
No Auto Oiler
The PowrLiner 550 doesn't have any type of easy piston lube setup when compared to the PowerLiner 850. The 850 has a special piston lube setup that let's you shoot a squirt of oil into the piston area for smooth operation.

Short Answer: Yes - Simply angle the entire gun to the proper degree and distance from curb. Practice first by lining up the spray pattern with the curb using a drop cloth to achieve proper gun positioning. Once this is mastered, pull the drop cloth away and start painting.
If you've read the specifications for the Titan PowrLiner 550, you'll notice that the gun is not detachable. This is not an oversight, it's 100% accurate. So why does it have 50 feet of hose? The answer is simply for pressure regulation purposes. It is cheaper for Titan to manufacturer the 550 with 50' of hose to regulate the output spray pressure than it would be to create a special pressure regulator for that model. It also keeps the 550 consistent in design with the rest of their models. A shorter hose on any of the stripers would cause pulsing while spraying and this leads to uneven striping.
Believe it or not, you can still spray stencils with the PowrLiner 550. Simply tip the striping machine back on it's wheels to help prevent too much paint buildup and push the machine over the stencil area. This machine is obviously not ideal for stencils and we recommend looking at our PowrLiner 850 which does have a detachable gun for frequently spraying stencils, but it is totally possible with the 550.
