LHB shop coaches are longer than ICF coaches, allowing them to accommodate more passengers. Their longer length also means fewer coaches are needed to form a train formation, reducing overall maintenance costs. The coaches are fitted with axle-mounted disc brakes for effective braking power to stop trains within short distances. They also have wheel slide protection and a brake accelerator to facilitate faster emergency braking. The coaches use FIAT bogies designed for speeds up to 160 kph and have various features to prevent damage and corrosion.
