New Graco ProReach: Telescopic Spray Extension with a Reach of up to 3.7 Metres

 

ProReach allows the airless spray gun itself to be mounted at the end of a telescopic extension, enabling the operator to spray from the ground with an adjustable reach from 1.4 to 3.7 metres. This allows professional painters to cover elevated areas and hard-to-reach spaces while maintaining precise control over the spray application.

 

However, ProReach is not simply a longer spray gun extension. Its design incorporates an adjustable-angle head, carbon-fibre construction, remote trigger actuation and a dedicated hose management system.

 

The result is a tool designed to provide greater reach, higher productivity and reduced physical effort when painting at height.

 

 

What is the New Graco ProReach?

 

The Graco ProReach is a professional telescopic extension for airless spray guns designed to allow painters to spray at different heights while remaining on the ground.

 

Its main difference compared with a conventional airless extension is the way it works.

 

Instead of sending paint through a long extension tube with only the spray tip positioned at the end, ProReach allows the airless spray gun itself to be mounted at the top of the extension.

 

The operator controls the gun from the lower section using a remote trigger, providing an immediate response similar to operating the spray gun directly by hand.

 

This concept retains the advantages of spraying directly from the gun while providing considerably greater reach.

 

 

 

From 1.4 to 3.7 Metres: One Extension for Different Heights

 

One of the main advantages of ProReach is its versatility.

 

The extension can be adjusted from approximately 1.4 metres to 3.7 metres, allowing its length to be quickly adapted to the requirements of each work area.

 

This means that the same accessory can be used for:

 

- High ceilings.

 

- Walls.

 

- Stairwells.

 

- Eaves.

 

- Façades.

 

- Commercial spaces.

 

- Homes with high ceilings.

 

- Hard-to-reach areas.

 

Instead of using different extensions for different heights, professionals can adjust ProReach as they progress through the project.

 

 

 

Less Time on Ladders, More Time Spraying

 

A significant amount of the time spent working at height is not actually spent painting.

 

Climbing a ladder, coming back down, moving it, repositioning it and repeating the process continuously can significantly reduce productivity.

 

The concept behind ProReach is simple: allow the painter to remain on the ground for more of the job.

 

This helps reduce the movement and repositioning associated with ladder use while allowing more continuous spraying.

 

According to Graco, depending on the application, ProReach can help complete certain high-reach jobs up to twice as fast.

 

 

 

 

Adjustable-Angle Head for Different Surfaces

 

Reaching a surface is not enough. Achieving a high-quality finish also requires maintaining the correct spray angle.

 

That is why one of the most useful features of ProReach is its adjustable-angle head.

 

The operator can adjust the orientation of the spray gun to suit the surface being sprayed.

 

This is particularly useful when spraying:

 

- Ceilings.

 

- Wall-to-ceiling junctions.

 

- Eaves.

 

- Façades.

 

- Elevated areas.

 

- Corners and hard-to-reach spaces.

 

Thanks to this system, the extension can be adapted to both different heights and different working angles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remote Trigger: Control the Spray Gun from the Ground

 

How do you operate a spray gun positioned several metres above the operator?

 

Graco has developed a responsive remote trigger integrated into the handle of ProReach.

 

When the professional operates the lower trigger, the system immediately transfers the movement to the spray gun mounted at the top.

 

This provides an operating feel designed to remain similar to using the spray gun directly by hand.

 

In addition, the ergonomic four-finger trigger helps reduce hand strain during extended spraying applications.

 

 

 

 

Compatible with Most Airless Spray Guns

 

Another major advantage of ProReach is that professionals do not necessarily need to change their existing airless equipment.

 

The extension is designed to work with most airless spray guns and standard hoses from 1/8" to 3/8" (3.2-9.5 mm).

 

It also features a tool-free quick-release system that makes installing and removing the spray gun quick and easy.

 

This allows ProReach to be integrated into different working configurations and used only when the application requires it.

 

 

 

Which Jobs Can Really Benefit from ProReach?

 

ProReach is particularly useful for professionals who regularly work at height.

 

- Homes with high ceilings: Makes it possible to spray elevated walls and ceilings while reducing the need to constantly reposition a ladder.

 

- Stairwells: One of the most challenging areas in many renovation projects. The telescopic design and adjustable-angle head make it easier to reach surfaces at different heights and angles.

 

- Façades and exterior surfaces: In certain applications, it allows upper areas to be reached directly from the ground while spraying continuously as the extension length is adjusted.

 

- Eaves and hard-to-reach areas: The adjustable head allows the spray gun to be positioned towards surfaces where a conventional straight extension may be impractical.

 

- Commercial premises and spaces: High ceilings and large walls can be sprayed more continuously, reducing interruptions caused by repositioning.

 

 

ProReach is designed to make working at height faster, more comfortable and more productive.

 

Less time spent repositioning access equipment means more time spraying. When this type of work is part of a painting contractor's daily routine, that difference can have a direct impact on the productivity of every project.
