The paint booth
Fixed right. Then finished right.
Plenty of trailer shops stop at the repair. We don't. Knox Trailers runs a full-size, drive-through paint booth, so the unit we straighten, weld, or rebuild leaves here painted and ready for the road.
Why it matters
Every handoff costs you a truck-day.
Here's how it usually goes. The repair shop fixes the frame. Then the unit gets towed to a body shop. Then it waits in their line, behind their customers, on their schedule. Then somebody has to go get it. If the finish isn't right, now two shops are pointing at each other.
We took the handoff out. The same shop that does the structural work does the paint. One estimate. One schedule. One phone number when you want to know where your unit is.
See it in the booth
From bare metal to finished.
This is the same booth your units go through. Watch a job get sanded down, sprayed, and rolled out finished.
The unit in this one is a tanker for our sister shop, Post Onsite, which shares the booth with Knox Trailers. Box van, trailer, or tanker, the process is the same.
What goes through the booth
The work that finishes the job.
Refinish after structural repair
A new rear frame, a straightened rail, replaced panels. We weld it, then we paint it, so the repair is sealed and the unit doesn't go back out in bare metal and primer.
Full repaint on older units
A trailer or box body with years left in the frame doesn't have to look its age. A full repaint extends its working life and makes it look like it belongs in your fleet again.
Fleet colors, lettering, and graphics
Your colors, your name on the side. When a unit comes back from us, it represents your company the way you want it to.
The booth itself
Built for equipment, not cars.
A car body shop can't fit what you run. Our booth is a Large Equipment Booth from Global Finishing Solutions, sized for commercial trucks. A full tractor or box truck pulls in one end and out the other. No backing a trailer into a tight bay.
It's an enclosed, lit room, not a corner of the shop floor. Dust and overspray stay out of the finish, and the painter can see every inch of the panel.
