Metro Trains: Keeping Melbourne Moving with Purpose-Built Fleet Fitouts
Metro Trains operates and maintains Melbourne’s metropolitan rail network — a complex system that requires precision, safety, and efficiency at every level. To support their field service and maintenance teams, Metro Trains partnered with VQuip to deliver a tailored fleet fitout solution that enhances day-to-day operations and technician productivity.
The Process
As with every major rollout, VQuip guided the Metro Trains team through our proven fitout design process — from Discovery Meeting to Proposal Presentation, and finally, to Design Finalisation.
This structured approach ensures every vehicle fitout is fit-for-purpose, compliant, and engineered to support the specific functions of each team in the field.
The Solution
The chosen platform for the rollout was the Ford Transit Custom SWB, a versatile and reliable vehicle ideal for the service and maintenance roles across Metro’s network.
VQuip designed and installed a fully integrated fitout system that combines durability, compliance, and functionality:
- Crash-tested, Australian-made shelving system with integrated parts bins and carry case storage
- Heavy-duty flooring
- LED strip lighting for superior visibility, and external LED beacons
- Technician roof rack system for external equipment and ladder storage – including a conduit carrier
- Rear step and towbar assembly for accessibility and towing capacity
- Plus, a range of tailored accessories to support day-to-day maintenance tasks
The Outcome
The result is a fleet of professional, organised, and compliant service vehicles — each designed to help Metro Trains’ technicians work more efficiently and safely across Melbourne’s extensive rail network.
VQuip’s Australian manufacturing, engineering expertise, and commitment to compliance have helped deliver a fleet solution that reflects Metro’s high operational standards and safety culture.
