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.

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.
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.

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.
