Optimised MULTI-sleeper tamping
Express tamping – maximum quality for track maintenance: Plasser & Theurer tamping technology ensures process reliability. Seeing the 09-3X Tamping Express in operation for the first time is an unforgettable experience. At breath-taking working speed, the machine produces maximum track geometry quality. The sturdy frame handles even high lifting values. It is optimally suited for tamping both existing lines and new lines. Multiple tamping and 1-sleeper tamping allow maintaining track sections with highly irregular sleeper spacing or obstacles along the line.
Continuous working action – increased output during tamping
Technology that continues to set standards to this day: continuous working action achieves spectacular increases in output. The 09-X series offers increased output while producing excellent quality. It allows you to make the best possible use of track possessions and to achieve your ROI quickly.
Time-tested and top-grade: the continuous- action main frame and the cyclic-action tamping satellite
- Higher working speeds
- Reduced line occupation times
- Reduces track maintenance costs
- Less stress for man and machine
Modular expandability
Plasser & Theurer machines provide scope for extensive, versatile modification. This has several advantages: modular expandability enables us to individualise your machine to make it suit your demands and your market’s needs. We offer a great number of configuration options for our 09-X series high-capacity tamping machines; they suit various operational strategies and track conditions. As an approved, operational machine is key to maximum performance, we have established new standards to get the machine to the worksite in no time.

We put your machine on track in no time
Plasser & Theurer machines can be expanded modularly. Based on platform programs, the expansions offer a major advantage: their technical design and quality comply with the machine's initial approval. All railway testing has already been completed.
During the approval process, engineering professionals calculate the stability of the machine frames, bogies, and the vehicle behaviour.
Safety is crucial to us. A department in charge of quality assurance ensures compliance with the applicable standards and regulations through in-house working instructions and inspections. Plasser & Theurer's railway testing body is EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. PlasserModularCustomizing adds value by improving quality, ensuring on-schedule handling, and increasing the availability of the machines.
Your machine will comply with all standards. The approval process for auxiliary vehicles is similarly extensive. Ultimately, machines are vehicles which must comply with EN 14033. On request, we offer machines in compliance with the TSI LOC&PAS Technical Specification for Interoperability.
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.
