Clemco for Truck Trailer Manufacturing
Truck trailer manufacturing puts long frames, panels, subassemblies and suspension parts through surface preparation before coating. Clemco blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media reclaim systems need layout planning around long workpiece movement, dust collection, compressed air and maintenance access.

Trailer Part Movement
Long frames and large panels require clear entry and exit paths, room for turning, and coordination with cranes, carts or forklifts. Door size, aisle width and staging space should be checked before the blast area location is set.
Blast Air And Dust Collection
The blast enclosure, collector, ductwork and replacement air should be reviewed together. Air movement must support operator visibility and dust capture while avoiding conflicts with weld cells, assembly lines and nearby coating areas.
Reclaim Equipment Placement
Media reclaim systems add floor, pit, hopper and service considerations. Trailer plants should plan where spent abrasive is collected, how it moves back through the system and how maintenance staff will reach wear items.
Coordination During Install
Installation or relocation can involve rigging, structural review, utility shutdowns, compressed air tie-ins and electrical work. Sequencing should protect production aisles and allow other trades to reach their work without blocking part flow.
Frequently asked questions
What trailer dimensions should be ready for a site visit?
Have the longest frame or assembly length, maximum width and height, handling method, rack or cart dimensions, door clearances and preferred travel path through the blast area.
Why is compressed air planning important for Clemco blast equipment?
Abrasive blasting depends on stable compressed air. Piping size, dryer location, pressure drop and connection points should be reviewed before equipment is placed.
What can make dust collector access difficult?
Crowded aisles, stored material, nearby machines, tight roof penetrations and poor filter service clearance can all complicate routine dust collector work.
How should a trailer plant plan around a blast equipment move?
Confirm disassembly space, rigging routes, utility isolation points, temporary staging areas and how parts will move while the blast area is out of service.
