Public works and fleet shops in North Florida: what to know

A fleet shop is laid out around what gets worked on: pickups, dump trucks, mowers and loaders. Service bays need clear height for lifts and raised beds, wide overhead doors, and a slab thick enough for heavy equipment and jacks. Around the bays go a parts room, tool storage, a lube area, offices and a break room for the crews. A clear-span steel frame keeps the shop floor free of columns, so bays can be rearranged as the fleet changes over the years.
