Spray-Tech/Junair booths for fleet maintenance
Spray-Tech/Junair makes downdraft, crossdraft and automotive refinish booths that can be used in fleet maintenance operations. Double D Mechanical helps install, relocate and service these booths with attention to vehicle clearance, airflow, exhaust, make-up air and utility routing.

Clearance for fleet vehicles
Fleet maintenance finishing areas may handle service vans, utility bodies, tractors, trailers or specialty vehicles. Booth placement should account for vehicle height, mirror clearance, door swing, ladder use, masking space and the path between repair bays and the paint area.
Ventilation tied to shop pressure
Large vehicle booths can move significant air, so exhaust and make-up air should be considered with the rest of the maintenance building. Nearby welding exhaust, wash bays, overhead doors and service bay ventilation can all change booth draft and temperature control.
- Review roof structure before routing exhaust stacks or make-up air ducts.
- Keep intake air away from vehicle exhaust and dusty service areas.
- Maintain access to motors, belts, filters, burners and dampers.
Utility routing in active shops
Fleet shops often have busy ceilings with lifts, reels, lights, piping and existing ventilation. Booth electrical, control, gas and compressed air connections should be sequenced so installation work does not leave key service points hidden behind ducts or structural members.
Relocation and service planning
For relocation, document the current Spray-Tech/Junair booth layout, fan package, controls and utility connections before teardown. For service, collect operating symptoms, recent filter changes, photos and any changes in nearby ventilation or building use.
Frequently asked questions
What should a fleet facility measure before adding a booth?
Measure the largest vehicles, booth footprint, ceiling height, approach aisle, roof structure, utility routes and required service space around mechanical equipment.
Why does make-up air matter in a fleet paint booth?
Exhausted air must be replaced in a controlled way. Without suitable replacement air, booth draft, temperature control and door operation can suffer.
Can maintenance exhaust affect booth performance?
Yes. Vehicle exhaust extraction, welding exhaust and general shop ventilation can change building pressure and introduce contaminants near booth intakes.
What is useful before a service visit?
Useful details include booth model information, photos, control symptoms, airflow concerns, heat issues, filter condition and notes about recent shop layout changes.
