The railcar shunting system is a compact, robust and reliable system that moves individual railcars or whole trains using a towing/pushing car that runs on the same track as the railcars.

The towing/pushing car is coupled to the cable driven by the towing station, can move in both directions and is "parked" at the end of the line. It is built on a rigid steel frame, fitted with a coupling/uncoupling system for railcars, and is delivered ready to be filled with ballast. This ballast (preferably pieces of metal weighing 20–50 kg, so they can be handled manually) must be easy to unload for maintenance or repairs of the car.

The standard shunting system with a towing/pushing car is used to move trains of railcars with a total weight of up to 1,000 tonnes. The maximum traction force of the system is 50 kN. The shunting route must be level, without bumps, and the railcars must have bearings on their axles.

The system can be operated from control panel I, in the control/operator room, or from control panel II, on the automation cabinet.
