Marathon Paint Booth Relocation
Marathon paint booth relocation can involve automotive, truck, downdraft or crossdraft booth layouts. Moving the booth means planning the dismantle sequence, checking the new footprint, rerouting exhaust and make-up air, reconnecting utilities and confirming the booth is ready for production.

Existing Setup Documentation
Before a booth is taken apart, the current installation should be documented. Photos, panel markings, duct connection notes, control locations, utility drops and filter arrangements help guide reassembly and identify issues that should be corrected during the move.
Fit Check at the New Footprint
The new location must support vehicle or part movement, door swing, operator access, filter changes and maintenance around fans and controls. Double D Mechanical reviews booth orientation against aisles, prep areas, overhead doors, lifts and nearby production equipment.
Reconnection of Air and Utilities
Relocation usually changes exhaust duct routing, make-up air connections, electrical feeds, controls, compressed air and gas piping. These interfaces should be coordinated before the booth is set so other trades can land their work in the right sequence.
- Confirm which duct sections, panels and components will be reused.
- Review roof or wall penetrations for the new exhaust route.
- Keep service access open around filters, fans, lights and controls.
Production Restart Review
After reassembly, the booth should be checked for panel alignment, door operation, lighting, filter seating, fan rotation, airflow direction, controls and utility connections. Restart planning also considers cleaning and punch list items before normal spray work resumes.
Frequently asked questions
What helps prepare for a Marathon booth relocation?
Helpful items include current booth photos, drawings, utility information, duct routing, new layout plans, vehicle or part dimensions and production constraints.
Can a booth be improved during relocation?
Relocation is a good time to address worn seals, access problems, damaged panels, duct issues or utility conflicts discovered during dismantling.
Does the exhaust route usually change?
Often it does. The new location may require different duct routing, fan placement, roof or wall penetrations and make-up air coordination.
What is checked before the booth goes back into use?
Typical checks include doors, panels, filters, lights, fans, controls, airflow direction, utility connections and maintenance access.
