This mode uses four tamping unit segments. The outer segments can be slewed out far enough that the long bearers of the diverging rail in the turnout can also be tamped. This is an ideal supplement to automated synchronous 3-rail lifting. Positioned on transverse guide columns, the inner tamping units can be displaced laterally. This enables them to be operated in the area inside and outside the respective rails. All four tamping units can be turned and thus adapted to the slanting position of the sleepers.

You can choose from a complete range of tamping units for all track and turnout maintenance applications, classified according to output and performance requirements. They are available in various designs and sizes: the perfect fit for all our tamping machines.

When the tamping units, which have electrically powered vibration shafts, are raised in idle mode, the noise is reduced by more than 20 dBA. The noise created in idle mode is 62 dBA, which is equal to the noise level of a normal conversation in the office.
