Commercial & Agricultural Vehicle Shot Blasting
Heavy-Duty Restoration for Farm & Warehouse Vehicles
About This Service
Our commercial and agricultural vehicle shot blasting service provides comprehensive restoration for heavy-duty trucks, farm machinery, warehouse vehicles, and industrial transport equipment. We specialize in large-scale vehicle chassis, wheels, and body panels for commercial operations. Whether you're restoring vintage farm trucks, refurbishing warehouse forklifts, or maintaining fleet vehicles, our industrial-grade shot blasting removes decades of corrosion, paint, and contamination to prepare vehicles for protective coatings and extended service life.
Commercial Vehicle Restoration Projects
We specialize in heavy-duty commercial and agricultural vehicle restoration, from individual wheel sets to complete chassis overhauls. Below are two recent projects showcasing our capabilities with vintage farm trucks and warehouse vehicles.
Project 1: Heavy-Duty Commercial Vehicle Wheels
A vintage farm truck required complete wheel restoration. The heavy-duty wheels had accumulated decades of paint, rust, and agricultural contamination. The client needed the wheels restored to bare metal for protective coating before the vehicle could return to service.
Before: Heavy Contamination

The wheels showed extensive corrosion, multiple paint layers, and agricultural chemical staining. The heavy contamination required industrial-grade shot blasting to restore the metal surface.
After: Complete Vehicle Restoration
Silver shot-blasted wheels ready for protective coating

All wheels, chassis components, and body panels were shot blasted to bare metal (silver finish). The vintage farm truck was completely restored and prepared for protective coating, extending its service life by decades.
Challenge
Heavy-duty wheels with decades of paint, rust, and agricultural contamination required complete restoration for vintage farm truck.
Solution
Industrial-grade shot blasting of all wheels, chassis, and body panels to bare metal using heavy-duty media and controlled techniques.
Result
Complete vehicle restoration with uniform surface preparation, ready for protective coating and decades more service in agricultural operations.
Project 2: Complete Chassis Restoration
A commercial warehouse vehicle required complete chassis restoration for a full rebuild project. The chassis had been stripped to bare frame, revealing extensive corrosion and old coating residue. The client needed every structural member shot blasted to bare metal for inspection and protective coating.
Complete Chassis Shot Blasting
Bare chassis frame with roll cage and structural members exposed
Interior chassis members with uniform bare metal finish
Rear chassis section with complete corrosion removal
Complete chassis prepared for commercial-grade coating
Every structural member, cross-brace, and chassis component was systematically shot blasted to bare metal. The complete chassis restoration revealed the true condition of all structural members and provided optimal surface preparation for protective coating systems.
Challenge
Complete chassis required total restoration with every structural member shot blasted for rebuild project inspection and coating.
Solution
Systematic shot blasting of entire chassis frame, including all structural members, cross-braces, and mounting points to bare metal.
Result
Complete chassis restoration revealing true structural condition, ready for commercial-grade protective coating and vehicle rebuild.

Detailed Cleaning
Thorough cleaning of hard-to-reach areas, joints, and structural members to ensure complete surface preparation.
Surface Profiling
Achievement of optimal surface profile for maximum coating adhesion and long-term protection in harsh operating environments.
Quality Verification
Comprehensive inspection of all blasted surfaces to ensure uniform cleanliness and preparation standards before coating.
How to Prepare for Commercial Vehicles
Follow these steps to ensure your project runs smoothly
- 1
Request a Free Site Survey
Contact us to arrange a free site visit. We will assess the vehicle or machinery, confirm the extent of rust and corrosion, and provide a written quote.
- 2
Remove Glass, Rubber Seals, and Trim
Where possible, remove or protect glass panels, rubber seals, plastic trim, and any non-metal components before our arrival. These items can be damaged by shot blasting and should be removed or masked before work begins.
- 3
Drain Fluids and Disconnect Electrics
Drain fuel, oil, and coolant from the vehicle before blasting. Disconnect the battery and protect all electrical connectors, sensors, and wiring looms. Advise our team of any components that cannot be removed.
- 4
Confirm Access and Working Space
Ensure the vehicle is positioned in a location with sufficient space for our team to work around all sides — typically a minimum of 2 metres clearance. Confirm access for our mobile unit.
- 5
Arrange Primer and Painting
Coordinate with a vehicle painter or coating contractor to apply primer and topcoat promptly after blasting. Bare metal vehicle bodywork will begin to oxidise within hours — prompt priming is essential.
Applications
Case Studies
"Exceptional quality and professionalism. The surface preparation was perfect — exactly what we needed before coating."
"Fast turnaround, competitive pricing, and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend for any industrial project."
"Used them for structural steel on our new facility. Clean, efficient, and the team were brilliant on site."

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we specialize in complete chassis restoration for commercial and agricultural vehicles. Our facility can accommodate large farm trucks, warehouse vehicles, and industrial equipment. We systematically blast all chassis members, cross-braces, and structural components to bare metal.
Absolutely. We have extensive experience restoring vintage farm trucks, classic commercial vehicles, and heritage agricultural machinery. Our careful approach preserves original features while removing decades of corrosion and paint buildup.
Complete chassis restoration typically takes 3-5 days depending on vehicle size and condition. Wheel sets can be processed in 1-2 days. For fleet refurbishment projects, we can establish dedicated workflows to process multiple vehicles efficiently.
For commercial vehicles, we recommend epoxy primer followed by polyurethane topcoat for maximum durability in harsh operating environments. For farm vehicles exposed to chemicals and weather, consider zinc-rich primer systems. We can advise on the most suitable coating system for your specific application.
