Project Description: The Charlotte Area Transit System’s (CATS) objective of the Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) fleet coupler overhaul project is for the the Company to ensure that the LRV coupler systems are maintained and serviced properly to reach their 30-year useful life. The goal of this project is to complete the refurbishment and repair of the coupler subsystem in a safe, expeditious, and efficient manner to maintain the S70 system in a state of good repair. This project will follow the original equipment manufacturers' (OEM) established specifications and guidelines required to perform the overhaul.
