Flexible commercial spraybooth facility for multi-vehicle workstreams

Project overview

STL was appointed to design and deliver a fully purpose-built spraybooth facility as part of a customer’s redevelopment project, moving from an older site into a custom-built new depot.

The customer required a turnkey solution that integrated seamlessly with their main building contractor’s work, delivering a spraybooth system designed for operational efficiency, flexibility, and long-term use within the bodyshop.

The challenge

The project required a versatile finishing environment capable of handling a range of vehicle sizes, from large trucks to small vehicles and, where possible, accommodating two jobs simultaneously.

Additional project considerations included:

  • Maximising workshop space through roof-mounted plant design

  • Ensuring the layout supported multiple workflows without compromising access, safety, or efficiency

  • Delivering a turnkey solution that integrated paint mixing, application, and finishing in a single cohesive system

The solution

STL engineered and installed a commercial spraybooth facility tailored to the customer’s new depot and operational requirements.

The installation included:

  • An 18m × 5.5m × 5.5m split commercial spraybooth with WallMan pneumatic access platforms for safe and efficient working at height

  • A 5m × 2.7m paint mixing room serving both booths, optimising workflow and paint availability

The overall layout was designed to support multiple workstreams simultaneously, while the roof-mounted plant maximised usable floor space for vehicle preparation and movement.

Key features
  • Ability to accommodate multiple vehicle sizes and two jobs at once

  • Split commercial spraybooth with integrated WallMan platforms for safe access

  • Dedicated paint mixing room serving both booths efficiently

  • Roof-mounted plant to preserve maximum workshop floor space

  • Layout optimised for workflow, efficiency, and operational flexibility

The result

The new facility provides a significant increase in production capacity and operational flexibility.

The customer now operates from a modern, purpose-built finishing facility they are proud to showcase, using the installation as a sales tool when engaging with their clients.
