Pauli Systems for Truck Bodies
Commercial truck bodies and body assemblies need preparation space that fits long panels, boxed compartments, rails, steps and underbody areas. Pauli Systems equipment in this category includes blast rooms, abrasive blast booths and media reclaim systems. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services the booth, exhaust, make-up air, heater and utility connections that support the finishing areas before and after abrasive preparation.

Body Length And Entry Path
Truck bodies should be checked for overall length, roof height, mirror or bracket projections, frame supports and the turning path into the blast area. Door approach can matter as much as room size when bodies move on carts, skids or fork trucks. Operators also need room to reach lower rails, compartments and rear structures without blocking media recovery.
Prep Flow For Fleet Components
Blast rooms should sit in a practical sequence with masking, blow-down, paint mixing, coating and inspection. Loose doors, bumpers, toolboxes and smaller components may need racks or carts so they do not compete with full body assemblies. A clear hand-off helps keep cleaned surfaces moving toward coating instead of waiting in dirty traffic.
Dust Collection And Air Balance
Abrasive preparation and truck booth work can place large demands on exhaust and replacement air. Duct routing, intake air, fan locations, heat connections and wall or roof penetrations should be coordinated with the building structure and other trades. Double D Mechanical can connect the finishing equipment so the mechanical layout matches the production route.
- Measure body length, height, width and projections with transport fixtures included.
- Identify where loose truck body parts will be blasted, staged and coated.
- Note ceiling obstructions, door openings, floor pits and nearby utilities.
Maintenance Paths Beside Long Bays
Long equipment runs can make it tempting to use every side aisle for production, but fans, filters, lights, reclaim components, doors and controls still need service room. Relocation work should document which parts of the existing system can be moved and where utility routes will land in the new bay. The layout should keep maintenance from interrupting the main body flow whenever possible.
Frequently asked questions
What truck body dimensions should be ready for planning?
Provide overall length, width, height, frame support height, projections and the dimensions of carts or fixtures used to move the body.
Why plan separate racks for smaller parts?
Doors, steps, bumpers and compartments often need different angles and handling than a full body, so racks can keep the line moving.
What utilities are commonly coordinated?
Electrical power, controls, compressed air, gas or heat connections, exhaust ductwork and make-up air are common planning items.
Can an existing blast room be relocated for truck body work?
Relocation can be reviewed by documenting the current panels, doors, reclaim system, ductwork, utilities and the new body handling requirements.
What should stay reachable for service?
Reclaim equipment, dust collection connections, fans, filters, lights, doors, dampers and control panels should remain accessible.
