We offer protective coatings for Fleet Maintenance Service Bay flooring.
A fleet maintenance is a high-performance environment where vehicles are maintained, inspected, cleaned, repaired, and occasionally modified. Fleet maintenance service bay flooring must meet strict durability and safety standards due to constant movement of heavy vehicles, equipment, and exposure to various chemicals. These bays are essential for ensuring the readiness, safety, and functionality of patrol cars, motorcycles, SUVs, or specialty vehicles like SWAT vans or mobile command units.
Key Functions:
Vehicle Maintenance and Repair
The service bay provides a designated, controlled environment for routine service, inspections, and emergency repairs. They are equipped with lifts, diagnostic equipment, and specialized tools for law enforcement vehicles and supports work on police cars, SUVs, motorcycles, specialized units (K-9, SWAT, crime scene vans).
Fleet Readiness and Reliability:
This area ensures vehicles are mission-ready 24/7, minimizing downtime. It facilitates preventive maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations, brake service) to avoid costly breakdowns and maintains compliance with safety and performance standards for emergency response vehicles.
Safety and Security:
Service bays provide a secure environment for servicing vehicles that may contain sensitive equipment (weapon racks, electronics, evidence storage). It offers restricted access to unauthorized individuals, protecting both vehicles and law enforcement assets.
Specialized Outfitting and Uplifting:
Offers space for installing and maintaining specialized police equipment such as light bars and sirens, radios and communications systems, in-car computers, gun racks and prisoner partitions. It also supports ongoing updates as technology and policing needs evolve.
Evidence and Biohazard Decontamination:
Some service bays include washdown and decontamination areas which allow safe cleaning after transporting suspects, handling biohazards, or contamination from crime scenes.
Flooring Requirements:
Heavy Load Resistance
Vehicle weight, constant movement, and the use of heavy equipment all demand a floor with exceptional compressive strength. The system must withstand static and dynamic loads without cracking, delaminating, or deteriorating under pressure.
Chemical and Stain Resistance
These areas are exposed to a wide range of chemicals during daily operations—making chemical and stain resistance a critical flooring requirement. They must endure everything from routine vehicle fluids to harsh cleaning agents without degradation.
Scratch and Abrasion Resistance
Repeated dragging, dropping, and rolling of tools and equipment can wear down unprotected police service bay flooring. Without abrasion resistance, floors quickly show signs of scratches, gouges, and surface erosion, leading to safety risks and higher maintenance costs.
Durability and Long-Term Performance:
Service bays are high-traffic, high-abusive environments so flooring must withstand things like tire abrasion, equipment dragging, and daily maintenance operations. Resinous systems (epoxy, polyaspartics, or urethane systems) provide long-lasting protection.
Light Reflectivity and Visibility:
Lighter-colored, high gloss finishes improve visibility for inspections and safety checks. They also make it easier to find parts and pieces that have dropped or fallen. In addition, reflective flooring enhances ambient lighting and reduces shadows under vehicles.
Marking and Zoning Capability
The ability to apply safety striping, color coding, and zone identification for operational efficiency and compliance.
