Output to the power of three
Continuous-action 3-sleeper tamping and stabilizing
Highlights
- Working output up to 2,200 m/h thanks to continuous working action and 3-sleeper tamping technology
- React to obstacles or irregular sleeper spacings flexibly by switching to 1-sleeper tamping mode
- Approval for line category C2 (axle load ≤ 20 t)
- High track position durability and resistance to track distortion thanks to dynamic track stabilization
- Reduces speed restrictions: optimized availability of the infrastructure after maintenance with dynamic track stabilization
- Designed to treat the heaviest types of superstructure (heavy-haul lines)
- Reaches the worksite fast thanks to a maximum speed of 100 km/h during self-propelled transfer travel
- Fast approval at reduced cost thanks to the use of standardized machine components and systems

3X tamping unit
When time is of the essence
The 09-3X’s key component is the 3-sleeper tamping unit. It allows the machine to tamp three sleepers simultaneously during one single tamping process. Whether it’s maintenance operation or tamping newly laid track: compared to the continuous 2-sleeper tamping machine, the 09-3X model increases output by 30 to 40%. And that’s not its maximum performance, but rather, an average value.
In 1996, the 3-sleeper tamping technology was introduced for the first time. Ever since, the concept has been used around the world and continues to live up to its reputation. Globally, the name 09-3X is synonymous with simplified worksite logistics, optimal utilization of track possessions as well as reduced costs for administration and staff.
