Pauli Systems for Trailers
Trailer frames, bodies and assemblies need preparation areas that can handle long workpieces, crossmembers, rails, landing gear, ramps and masked components. Pauli Systems equipment in this category includes blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media reclaim systems. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services the mechanical connections that tie preparation, coating, exhaust, make-up air and utilities into the plant layout.

Frame Length And Bay Approach
Trailer work starts with the length of the frame, but the approach into the room can drive the actual space required. Tow bars, carts, fork pockets, ramps and lift points should be included in the movement envelope. Operators also need access to rails, crossmembers and underside areas without placing platforms where they interfere with media recovery.
Abrasive Prep To Finish Lane
The blast room should connect logically to blow-down, masking, paint mixing, coating and inspection. Small trailer parts may move on racks while full frames need carts or dedicated lanes. Keeping dirty and clean steps separated helps reduce rework and makes it easier to coordinate with weld, assembly and final finish areas.
Reclaim, Exhaust And Replacement Air
Trailer preparation can create dust loads and air movement that affect adjacent bays. Reclaim equipment, dust collection connections, exhaust ductwork and make-up air should be planned with building pressure and service access in mind. Double D Mechanical can coordinate equipment placement and utility tie-ins with the facility conditions.
- Provide maximum trailer length, width, height and support method.
- Show whether frames move straight through, reverse out or turn in the bay.
- Identify staging for ramps, gates, side panels and loose components.
Keeping Long Systems Serviceable
Long trailer bays can crowd filters, doors, lights, controls and reclaim service points if maintenance is not planned early. Relocated equipment should be reviewed for panel condition, duct runs, media handling components and available utility routes. Service paths should remain clear even when frames are staged near the room.
Frequently asked questions
What trailer details should be measured before layout work?
Measure the full frame or body, support fixture, transport method, ramp or gate projections and the space needed for operators to reach the underside.
Why does the movement path matter for a blast room?
A long trailer may fit inside the room but still need extra clear space to enter, turn, reverse or transfer to coating.
What helps keep blasting from disrupting coating?
Separate dirty and clean traffic, plan blow-down space and provide a clear transfer route from blast to masking and coating.
Can Double D Mechanical work around existing production?
Planning can account for existing weld, assembly, paint and shipping areas, along with the utility routes needed for the finishing equipment.
Which service points need room around them?
Dust collection connections, reclaim components, fans, filters, lights, doors, dampers and controls should all be reachable.
