TRUFLOW PROVIDES DESIGN & PROJECT COMPLIANCE SOLUTIONS

Train Spray Booths & Rail Vehicle Refinishing Solutions

For any train, tram, locomotive, rolling stock, or rail vehicle refinishing project, Truflow Spray Booths aims to be the first call for specialist spray booth design, manufacture, and installation across Australia.

With more than 20 years of experience delivering custom-engineered rail spray booth solutions, our team works closely with rail operators, rolling stock manufacturers, maintenance providers, and government transport organisations to ensure every project begins with the right strategy, scope, and technical design considerations.

From new train manufacturing facilities to locomotive refurbishment workshops and rail maintenance depots, Truflow provides complete spray painting booth solutions tailored to the unique requirements of the rail industry.

Why Train Spray Booths Require a Different Approach

Unlike conventional vehicle spray booths, train spray booths and locomotive paint facilities present unique engineering challenges due to the sheer size, length, and complexity of rail vehicles.

Safe access to all areas of a train is one of the most critical design considerations. Operators must be able to comfortably and safely reach roof sections, sidewalls, underframes, cab structures, bogies, and detailed components during preparation, painting, and finishing processes.

For this reason, Truflow designs rail spray booths with integrated access systems that may include:

  • Purpose-built work platforms

  • Adjustable operator access platforms

  • Elevated roof access walkways

  • Side access staging systems

  • Maintenance and inspection platforms

  • Ergonomic access solutions for painters and maintenance personnel

These systems allow operators to work safely at height while maintaining productivity and achieving a superior paint finish across the entire rail vehicle.

Engineered for Safety, Productivity and Compliance

Every rail spray booth project requires careful consideration of available space around and above the train. Adequate clearance zones are essential to allow personnel, equipment, work platforms, ventilation systems, and material handling processes to operate efficiently.

Our engineering team carefully evaluates:

  • Train and carriage dimensions

  • Future rolling stock requirements

  • Operator access and ergonomics

  • Work health and safety requirements

  • Ventilation and airflow performance

  • Production throughput targets

  • Facility constraints and available building space

  • Rail track integration requirements

The result is a spray booth facility that improves productivity, enhances operator safety, and delivers consistent coating quality while supporting long-term operational efficiency.

Complete Rail Industry Spray Booth Solutions

Truflow spray booths support a wide range of rail industry applications, including:

  • Train painting and refinishing

  • Tram painting facilities

  • Locomotive spray booths

  • Rolling stock refurbishment

  • Passenger carriage maintenance

  • Freight wagon coating systems

  • Bogie preparation and painting

  • Corrosion protection programs

  • OEM rail vehicle manufacturing

  • Heavy maintenance and overhaul facilities

Whether the requirement is for new rolling stock production, fleet refurbishment, asset life extension, or long-term maintenance programs, our team develops solutions specifically engineered to suit the operational needs of each facility.

Trusted by Australia’s Rail Industry

Over the past two decades, Truflow has successfully delivered rail spray booth projects and refinishing facilities for some of Australia’s leading transport and rolling stock organisations, including Siemens, Bombardier Transportation, Yarra Trams, and Downer Group.

Our experience across rail infrastructure, rolling stock manufacturing, and transport maintenance environments allows us to understand the practical challenges faced by operators and maintenance teams while delivering projects on time and within budget.

A Solutions-Based Approach


“Our approach is solutions-based. We meet with our clients, we listen, they tell us what is required, and it is up to us to deliver.”
– Chris Spencer – Group General Manager

At Truflow, we recognise that every rail project is different. Whether faced with restricted building dimensions, difficult site access, oversized rolling stock, specialised work platforms, or demanding production schedules, our team develops practical, compliant, and cost-effective spray booth solutions that meet the unique needs of the rail industry.

From concept design through to manufacture, installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance support, Truflow remains one of Australia’s leading providers of train spray booths, rail vehicle paint facilities, locomotive spray booths, and rolling stock refinishing systems.

AIRFLOW DESIGNS

Downdraught Train Spray Booth

The benchmark facility in rail is the downdraught system. Complete with 3-Axis Lifts for painters to access both side of the locomotive this facility provides a fully enclosed environment with filtered air exhausted under the rail or through the side walls.

Downdraught Spray Booths can also been seen under Truck Spray Booths and Bus Spray Booths pages.

Enclosed Crossflow Spray Booths

Cross flow Booths are ideal for spray painting in a clean and enclosed environment. They operate with horizontal airflow and can be fitted with or without heating. The above example is an installation completed by TRUFLOW at the NSW Rail Museum in Thirlmere, click the link to read more about this installation.

Safe Access Man Lift

WALL-MAN & LIFT-MAN platforms are pneumatically operated access systems.  They are ideal for hazardous and flammable environments.   They are commonly utilised for large equipment, Truck, Train and Bus Spray Painting.

Safe Access Platforms for spray booths

LOCOMOTIVE SPRAY BOOTH INSTALL EXAMPLES

Bombardier Transportation

Since 2008 Truflow has been providing Bombardier Transport with spray painting facilities that provide safe, clean and efficient surface coating environments for their workers. With special considerations to airflow and lighting these facilities are large enough to facilitate new projects or refurbished works on existing locomotives.

For similar Spray Booths check out : Bus Spray Booths, Truck Spray Booths and Semi- Trailer Spray Booths.

Ugl Rail Locomotive Bogie

The Ballarat facility operated by UGL Rail / Alstrom is a fit for purpose manufacturing and assembly facility designed to accommodate locomotive bogies in the spray booth that was designed and installed by TRUFLOW.

Siemens Light Rail Trams

Siemens undertook a large scale re-refurbishment of the Melbourne City D-Class trams which required a state of the art painting facility to be installed at the Preston depot. This on-floor down draft spray booth was in full scale production for 3 years, it was a project specific spray booth which provided both spraying and baking capabilities.

For similar Spray Booths check out : Truck Spray Booths and Large Equipment Spray Booths.

Yarra Trams

A unique project which required a versatile solution. The new Preston facility required a space which allowed for Trams & Parts to be painted, cleaned and stripped in the one area. With both preparation and painting occurring in the same area a semi downdraught type spray area was designed which could be integrated into their facility.
