09-2X
The required tamping performance per time unit determines the size of the tamping unit. In that sense, a high annual output may be just as crucial as short track possessions on high-capacity lines. The 09-2X and 09-3X models are equipped with the same frame design, and the 09-2X employs 2-sleeper working technology. This 2-sleeper technology provides optimal conditions assuming tamping at maximum speed is less of a priority. Our 09-2X model, with its compact 2-sleeper tamping unit, will win you over: more than 1,200 machines currently in operation attest to its success. You have the choice of either a classic 2-sleeper tamping machine or a machine which can switch to tamping individual sleepers using 1X mode (09-2X/SD).

Continuous working action - increased output during tamping
30 years ago, a technical concept evolved from an idea to increase the cost efficiency of tamping work. It has continued to set standards even to this day. The technical basis was laid early on: the U-shaped design of the machine's main frame and the positioning of the work units between the axles. However, it was always necessary to accelerate and brake the entire machine mass to be able to tamp. Due to the separation into a continuously moving main frame and a cyclic-action subframe, less than 20 % of the machine mass has to be accelerated and braked.
