Rohner for Heavy Equipment Agriculture
Heavy equipment and agricultural plants may finish large frames, cabs, guards, tanks and implements with liquid coating, powder coating or both. Rohner open-face booths, large-equipment booths, powder booths, powder lines and curing ovens should be planned around workpiece clearance, air handling, heat, utilities and service access.

Heavy Part Flow Through Coating
Large assemblies need room for forklifts, cranes, carts and racks to move without clipping booth openings or oven doors. Layout planning should include raw staging, coating, cure or dry time, cooling, inspection and return to assembly.
Liquid And Powder Air Requirements
Paint booths and powder booths manage air differently, but both depend on stable building conditions. Exhaust, collector access, make-up air, open doors and nearby prep operations should be reviewed as one system.
Ovens And Heat Clearance
Curing equipment requires attention to gas or electrical service, exhaust, combustion air, controls and safe clearance from nearby storage or production equipment. Infeed and discharge space should also match rack and part movement.
What To Document Before Layout Work
Useful details include maximum part size, rack dimensions, coating process, desired equipment location, ceiling obstructions, roof paths, utility locations and any production equipment that must stay operating during installation.
Frequently asked questions
What makes heavy equipment finishing layouts difficult?
Large parts, variable handling methods, overhead obstructions and the need for staging before and after coating can make booth and oven placement complex.
How are powder booth needs different from paint booth needs?
Powder booths need collector and cleanup access, compressed air support and attention to powder containment, while paint booths focus heavily on exhaust and make-up air paths.
Why review oven loading before placing equipment?
Rack length, cart movement, door clearance and cooling space can determine whether an oven location works for daily production.
What utility information is useful early?
Panel locations, gas availability, compressed air points, roof or wall exhaust paths, control locations and any limits on shutdowns are useful to gather early.
Can finishing equipment be relocated inside an active plant?
It can be evaluated, but rigging routes, utility disconnects, roof or duct changes, production access and service clearance all need careful planning.
