Accudraft truck paint booth installation and service
Accudraft truck paint booths are built around large vehicles, trailers, equipment and fleet work where clearances, airflow volume and access are critical. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services truck booth systems with attention to workpiece movement, exhaust routing, make-up air, heat, compressed air, electrical connections and maintenance space.

Clearance for large vehicles
Truck booth layout starts with the largest vehicle or equipment expected in the enclosure. Length, width, height, mirrors, ladders, lift gates, racks and trailer swing can all affect usable space. The area outside the booth also needs enough approach room for straight entry, door movement and staging before and after paint.
High-volume air and exhaust needs
Large booths move substantial air, so fan capacity, duct layout, discharge location and make-up air become major planning items. Replacement air should be arranged to reduce building pressure problems and support consistent booth draft across the full length of the workpiece.
- Confirm roof or wall routes for large duct sections.
- Leave access to filters, fans and heat equipment.
- Review nearby operations that could introduce dust into intake air.
Utilities for fleet and equipment finishing
Truck paint booths may involve multiple lighting zones, control panels, gas heat, compressed air drops and connections to air handling equipment. Utility routing should be planned around tall doors, structural members, cranes, hose reels, service platforms and fire protection equipment.
Relocation and service preparation
For relocation, document panel condition, door hardware, fan assemblies, control wiring and duct components before disassembly. For service, note issues such as poor airflow at one end, slow heat recovery, noisy fans, damaged doors, lighting problems or filter loading. Current photos and measurements help define the work.
Frequently asked questions
What should be measured for a truck paint booth?
Measure the largest vehicle or trailer, approach space, door height, booth footprint, ceiling clearance, duct routes and service areas around fans and filters.
Why does make-up air matter more in a large booth?
Large booths exhaust a high volume of air. Replacement air helps stabilize building pressure, booth draft and temperature during operation.
Can an Accudraft truck booth be moved to another facility?
A move may be possible if the booth can be disassembled and the new facility can support the footprint, exhaust route, air replacement and utilities.
What access should remain open after installation?
Access should remain for filters, fans, motors, belts, burners, controls, lighting, door hardware and duct inspection points.
What site details help before installation?
Useful details include building dimensions, roof structure, utility locations, intended vehicle sizes, traffic flow, existing exhaust equipment and any available booth drawings.
