Accudraft Paint Booths For Heavy Equipment
Heavy equipment finishing involves large weldments, frames, cabs, attachments and machinery with demanding prep and coating requirements. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services paint booth systems, blast rooms, exhaust ductwork, make-up air equipment, heat, lighting, controls and utility connections for these rugged workflows.

Equipment Envelope And Bay Access
Accudraft heavy equipment booth work begins with the largest machine, frame or attachment expected in the bay. Door height, floor loading assumptions, turning space, overhead obstructions and work platforms should be reviewed before booth location or relocation decisions are made.
- Measure the machine or weldment with fixtures, stands and platforms included.
- Review forklift, crane, cart and trailer routes into the finishing area.
- Keep filters, lights, fans, doors, controls and air units serviceable.
Abrasive Prep To Paint Transfer
Heavy equipment often needs blast preparation or aggressive cleaning before coating. Blast rooms, reclaim systems, dust collection, masking areas and paint booths should be sequenced so prepared surfaces do not sit in dusty traffic paths before spray.
Replacement Air For Large Booths
Large-equipment booths can move substantial air. Exhaust ductwork, make-up air units, heater connections, intake placement and discharge points need coordination with existing building ventilation, overhead doors and process exhaust in nearby fabrication areas.
Service Planning Around Tough Use
Heavy workflows put stress on doors, filters, lighting, fans and controls. Before a site visit, gather equipment drawings, photos of damaged or problem areas, utility information, roof access notes, filter details and any changes expected in the part mix.
Frequently asked questions
What should be measured for a heavy equipment booth?
Measure the largest machine or weldment, plus stands, attachments, platforms, lifting clearance, approach aisles, door openings and ceiling height.
How do blast rooms affect booth planning?
Blast rooms influence dust control, part transfer, reclaim equipment location, operator traffic and the cleanliness of surfaces entering the paint booth.
What are common service concerns in heavy equipment finishing?
Common concerns include damaged doors, loaded filters, lighting failures, fan vibration, duct damage, heater issues, control faults and poor access around equipment.
What information helps define a relocation scope?
Existing booth drawings, photos, utility routes, duct paths, air unit location, rigging path, new footprint and production constraints help define the scope.
