They use a flexible Solving handling system on air bearings to move rail coaches from arrival through their repair processes.

Upon arrival at the repair shop for maintenance and repair the carriage’s bogies are removed. The carriage is then placed on two ‘pallets’, on which it remains during the repair process. The two air film-based transporters, Solving Movers, drive under these pallets, lift the carriage and move it to different work stations. A pneumatic drive unit and an integrated control system provide for each Mover to follow a metal tape on the floor. This passive guidance assists manoeuvring in narrow aisles and passages, and radio control allows the operator to walk freely around the load to ensure safe supervision. Used in pairs the total capacity of the Solving air bearing transport system is 80 tonnes.

The work stations include dismantling, reconstruction, sand blasting and lacquering. The Solving Movers are floated on air bearings until they reach the last two stations, where the floor is not suitable for air film technology. However, because the Mover is also quipped with retractable steel wheels, it can then be moved on rails.
