Meeting the challenges of rail coating

Rail projects bring their own set of complexities, including long production cycles, large train carriages, and diverse surface treatment requirements. STL designs rail spraybooths with precision engineering to meet these demands, ensuring even airflow, temperature uniformity, and safe, flexible access for operators.

Optimised spraybooth design for rail maintenance and manufacturing

Rail spraybooths are designed to handle multiple stages of work (preparation, blasting, coating, and curing) often within the same facility. Systems need to be adaptable to different train sizes and production schedules, while maintaining consistent airflow and temperature control. Efficient energy use and process optimisation are critical to ensuring high-quality coatings and minimising operational costs.


Delivering solutions across rail projects

We provide spraybooth solutions for a wide range of rail operators and manufacturers, helping maintain coating quality and process efficiency.


End-to-end delivery and compliance

Our in-house manufacturing and installation teams provide full project delivery, from design and fabrication to commissioning. Every rail spraybooth is built to comply with industry-specific standards and site safety protocols, ensuring reliability and consistent performance in busy rail maintenance and manufacturing facilities.

Innovation and technology in action

STL leverages advanced technology, such as automated handling systems, real-time environmental monitoring, and robotics integration, to improve operational efficiency and reduce errors.

These innovations not only enhance product quality but also demonstrate STL’s leadership in developing forward-thinking solutions for the rail sector.

The service admin team are very efficient and highly organised when it comes to booking in and coordinating work. The engineers are consistently excellent – professional, reliable and always resolving issues without any problems. On one occasion when we experienced a breakdown, an engineer went out of their way to provide prompt support, which was greatly appreciated.


Paul Harding,

STL’s preparation and professionalism during the Hangar 9 project were outstanding. Their contractor file passed an on-site audit with flying colours – all documentation, including permits, lifting plans, and certifications, was thorough and well-organised. Their site team maintained excellent housekeeping and followed PPE requirements throughout. STL has set a benchmark for the standard I now expect from all contractors.

The service administration team are excellent at keeping us informed about upcoming work and always provide helpful reminders, which has been greatly appreciated. The engineers are consistently very good: friendly, efficient and helpful on site, and they always leave the area clean and tidy once the work is complete. We also really value the technical support provided over the phone. On several occasions issues have been resolved remotely, and even when an engineer visit was required, the team were able to get us up and running again until they arrived.
