CTOF
Closed Top Open Front Spray Booth
Garmat USA’s CTOF (Closed Top Open Front): The Original Spray Booth-Listed Prep Station. Garmat’s CTOF (Closed Top Open Front) was the first prep station to be officially listed as a paint spray booth, a distinction that sets it apart from standard prep stations. Fully compliant with NFPA 33 spray booth regulations, the CTOF gives you the freedom to Prep, Prime, and Paint in one dedicated area—all without limitations. This helps collision centers stay on schedule and meet production goals more efficiently.
In today’s competitive collision repair market, success depends on minimizing delays and maximizing quality. Garmat CTOFs are engineered to streamline workflow and eliminate the paint shop bottleneck, resulting in increased throughput and improved cycle times.
Our CTOF line is available in Single, Dual, and Triple Bay configurations, with flexible airflow options including downdraft and modified downdraft systems.
Need to accommodate larger vehicles? Garmat also offers CTOF paint spray booths with extended roof heights, ideal for transit vans and medium-duty trucks.
