Rohner for Truck Bodies
Commercial truck bodies and body assemblies bring long panels, roof edges, underbody areas and access doors into the finish area. Rohner crossdraft, truck and large equipment booths may be used with prep areas, blast rooms, mixing rooms, make-up air and exhaust systems. Double D Mechanical installs, relocates and services the booth, air, exhaust, lighting and utility connections around these large vehicle workflows.

Body Length And Door Approach
Truck body finishing should be laid out around the longest body, widest mirrors or hardware, tallest roof condition and the approach path into the booth. Operators need room for ladders, platforms and carts along both sides. Booth doors and entry staging should not block filters, controls or emergency access.
Prep And Blast Sequencing
Truck bodies may require sanding, masking, abrasive preparation and cleaning before coating. Prep areas, blast rooms, media reclaim equipment and paint booths should be placed so the work can move forward without pushing dust into coating areas or finished inspection space.
Large Vehicle Air Planning
Long bodies can affect airflow near doors, exhaust plenums and make-up air discharge points. Exhaust, heat, replacement air, lighting and controls should be reviewed as one system so operators can work along long panels without uncomfortable drafts or blocked visibility.
- Measure body length, height, width, hardware and support stands.
- Map prep, blast, mask, coat, dry and inspection locations.
- Confirm gas, electrical, compressed air, duct and roof access.
Repair Access Around The Booth
Filters, fans, lights, heaters, doors and control panels need usable access after the booth is surrounded by vehicle staging and shop equipment. Relocation work should include checking panel condition, fan assemblies, heater condition, duct routes and the path for moving large sections.
Frequently asked questions
What truck body dimensions are most important?
Overall length, height, width, hardware projection, support stand height and the entry path into the booth should be measured.
How should blast work be separated from paint?
Dusty preparation should be contained and staged so cleaned bodies move into coating without crossing dirty work areas.
Why does make-up air matter for truck body booths?
Large exhaust volumes need replacement air to keep booth airflow and building pressure stable during coating work.
Can Rohner truck body booth equipment be relocated?
Relocation depends on equipment condition, section sizes, removal access, roof or wall openings, utility routes and new bay space.
What should be gathered before a site visit?
Vehicle dimensions, layout drawings, utility locations, process sequence, roof access and photos of current equipment are helpful.
