Defense platforms are finished to their own envelope, not to a civilian one
Booths sized to the platform.
A defense vehicle or platform falls outside the civilian envelope in length, height and weight, and at the same time is subject to approval and documentation requirements that precede any technical specification discussion.
Operational challenges
What stalls production in this sector
Three challenges govern this sector.
Size and weight sit outside the civilian range
Defense vehicles and platforms are longer, taller and heavier than their civilian equivalents. The chamber is built to measure because any stock model stops at a length or height limit.
Localisation is a commercial condition, not a bonus
The national direction towards localising industry and services makes local content, assembly and in-Kingdom service items in the purchase decision rather than differentiators.
Approval and documentation come before the specification
Security, confidentiality and qualification requirements govern who supplies and how work is documented, and they are settled before chamber dimensions and air capacity are discussed.
Our approach
How each challenge is addressed
At the level of approach and configuration — before any product is named.
The chamber is built to the platform’s envelope. The vehicle or platform’s dimensions are the first input, and the published build range reaches 24,000 mm long and 6,000 mm high, with an electrically operated main door on large builds.
Approval requirements are addressed first. We start by establishing the entity’s qualification and documentation requirements before discussing the specification, because the reverse order produces a technical proposal that cannot be accepted procedurally.
We produce a specification fit for a tender document. Written technical specifications and verifiable conformity data make the equipment directly insertable into a tender or a direct contract without rewriting.

What actually changes for this sector
Configuration — not product identity — is the real difference between sectors.
| Item | Range / value | Why it changes for this sector |
|---|---|---|
| Chamber dimensions | Built to order: 3,000–24,000 mm long · 2,650–6,000 mm high | Defense vehicles and platforms exceed the civilian envelope, so the chamber is built on the platform’s dimensions rather than on an existing model. |
| Main door size | Up to 14,200 × 5,000 mm, electrically operated on large builds | A wide or tall platform needs an entry opening beyond a standard door, and at that size electric actuation becomes necessary. |
| Air capacity and heat output | Delivered range 18,000–190,000 m³/h · 200,000–600,000 kcal/h | A larger chamber raises airflow and heat demand — what separates a defense build from an automotive booth. |
| Approval and qualification requirements | Set per facility; required certificates are provided on request | In the defense sector, qualification and documentation are settled before technical specification, so this item enters at an earlier stage than in other sectors. |
Regulatory and site considerations
- Security and confidentiality requirements applying to supply and installation inside defense facilities.
- Ventilation and fire requirements for large-volume coating chambers.
- SASO conformity for imported equipment.
- Approval and qualification requirements of the contracting defense entity are set in the project conditions, and the required certificates are provided on request.
Frequently asked questions about this sector
What do you actually supply to the defense sector?
We supply paint booths, built to measure around the vehicle or platform. We list no other equipment for this sector because it is not confirmed, and we do not widen the claim beyond what is established.
Are you qualified to supply defense entities?
Qualification requirements differ from one entity to another and are set in each tender’s conditions document; the certificates and documents required for supply are provided on request.
Can your specifications be placed into a tender document?
Yes. We produce written technical specifications together with the required conformity data so they can be inserted directly into a tender or contract without rewriting. Send the project scope and the platform’s dimensions and we will start from there.
What is the largest platform size you can accommodate?
The published build range reaches 24,000 mm long and 6,000 mm high, with a main door up to 14,200 × 5,000 mm operating electrically. The final size is built on your platform’s dimensions.
A fit-out project in a defense facility?
Send the vehicle or platform dimensions and the project scope, and we will come back with a written technical specification ready to be inserted into a tender document.
