The global turnout expert
Tamping of plain-line tracks and turnouts
Highlights
- Maximum flexibility in the turnout thanks to the pivoting tamping unit, tamping unit segments that can be lowered individually, and tilting tamping tines
- The frame is 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
- Post-measuring while working eliminates an extra measuring run
- The world’s leading tamping technology – tested under various operating conditions on every continent
- Machine and cabs in state-of-the-art design and in line with ergonomic aspects (ergonomic, user-friendly, clear layout, innovative)
- Fast approval at reduced cost thanks to the use of standardized machine components and systems
- Simplified maintenance thanks to standardized assemblies
Fit for the future with ETCS
The Unimat 08/4S series serves as the basis for continuing development of the Plasser Unimat machine series. It was specifically designed for the strict normative requirements of the European market. Equipped with the European ETCS train protection system, the machines fulfil the specifications of the TSI. Thanks to the new P-IC machine control system, they also meet the requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act and offer heightened protection against cyberattacks.

Setting the standard in turnout maintenance
Time-tested working parameters for optimal tamping results: The Unimat’s universal tamping unit has been optimized to meet the special requirements of turnout maintenance. You are prepared for any obstacle: the split-head technology makes it possible to shift each of the four tamping unit segments individually and sideways. If there is an obstacle in the turnout, the 16 tamping tines simply tilt upwards.
