Smith FS209 Thermoplastic Line Striping Pavement Cleaner

The Smith FS209 is a step up from the popular Smith FS200.  The FS series scarifiers from Smith, are light-weight, portable pavement top cleaners that are designed to remove markings from paint or thermoplastic and can be used for minor milling jobs.

Using a horizontal drum shaft setup, these machines are great for cleaning up striping lines from parking lots or streets and the universal tungsten carbide cutters will work on either concrete or asphalt, making this machine a must-have for small line striping crews.

The depth is adjustable so you make sure to only remove the marking and not the pavement.

The FS209 is fitted with a 9 HP Honda motor compared to the 5.5 HP Honda on the FS200.  For slightly tougher jobs, the FS209 is the way to go.
