Sustainable tamping quality

Our seventy years of experience in tamping technology goes into the sturdy mechanical design of our tamping units. Nowadays we combine this knowledge with the latest sensor and control technology. Using our time-tested principle of non-synchronous constant pressure tamping, we adapt compaction to the ballast stone structure, creating a sturdy sleeper bed.
