A versatile spraybooth facility engineered to accommodate everything from small vans to large trucks, supporting multiple jobs simultaneously while boosting productivity.
Commercial spraybooth facility built for growth

Project overview

STL was appointed to design and deliver a fully purpose-built spraybooth facility as part of a customer’s move from an ageing site into a newly constructed depot.

The customer required a spraybooth partner capable of working collaboratively with the main building contractor to ensure the new facility was engineered correctly from the outset, supporting long-term operational efficiency, flexibility, and future growth.

The challenge

The project required a multi-functional finishing environment capable of supporting several workstreams within a single cohesive layout, including:

  • Full trailer repaints

  • Tractor unit resprays

  • Off-vehicle panel repair and repainting

Additional project complexities included:

  • Late design changes

  • Building service clashes that required rapid redesign and adaptation

  • The need to maximise usable workshop space through roof-mounted plant design

The final solution needed to balance operational flexibility, spatial efficiency, and long-term usability within the constraints of a new-build environment.

The solution

STL engineered and delivered a fully integrated spraybooth facility tailored to the customer’s new depot and operational requirements.

The installation included:

  • An 18m × 5.5m × 5m split commercial spraybooth equipped with WallMan pneumatic access platforms

  • A 7m × 5m × 3m rear-wall extract LCV/panel booth for smaller refinishing work

  • A dedicated paint mixing room designed to serve both booths efficiently

The overall layout was carefully developed to support simultaneous workstreams, while roof-mounted plant ensured maximum floor space remained available for preparation and vehicle movement.

Key features
  • Multi-stream workflow capability within a single integrated layout

  • Large commercial spraybooth with integrated pneumatic access platforms

  • Dedicated LCV/panel booth for flexible refinishing operations

  • Centralised paint mixing facility serving both booths

  • Roof-mounted plant design to maximise usable workshop space

  • Purpose-built engineering aligned with the new-build depot design

The result

The completed facility provides a step-change in operational capability, enabling:

  • Increased production capacity across multiple workstreams

  • Improved workflow efficiency within the new depot

  • A high-quality, professional environment that supports business growth

The customer now operates from a modern finishing facility they are proud to showcase, using the new installation as a valuable sales tool when engaging with their own customers.
