A cross-voltage future
Electric, continuous, and universal: 2-sleeper tamping and stabilizing
Highlights
- Runs and works emission-free in different voltage systems (25 kV AC and 1.5 or 3 kV DC) thanks to power supplied via the overhead contact line (CC = dual catenary)
- High cost efficiency thanks to the combination of a low-wear plain-line tamping unit with a flexible turnout tamping unit
- 2-sleeper mode ensures high output and 1-sleeper mode allows you to react to obstacles flexibly
- Digital measuring and assistance systems to increase quality of work and unburden operating staff
- Diesel-electric power pack as an infrastructure-independent energy system (I)
- Attractive working environment thanks to modern, ergonomic, and quiet workstations and crew areas that can be planned flexibly
- ETCS in combination with the national train protection system
- High flexibility in maintenance planning and transfer thanks to line category C2 (axle load ≤ 20 t)

The 2X-4x4 tamping unit
Universal tamping at its best
Why combine two different tamping units? The first tamping unit segment adapts to the turnout and offers more mobility and flexibility. On plain-line track, however, performance is key: this is where both segments work together in 2X mode. The second tamping unit segment now features fewer moveable parts. This reduces the need for maintenance and minimizes life cycle costs.
The 2X-4x4 tamping unit combines universal 4x4 turnout tamping in 1-sleeper mode with increased performance on plain-line tracks and wide parts of the turnout thanks to 2X. It is the perfect tamping unit for maintaining station areas, transfer points, and for tamping several turnouts and short line sections in between. Thanks to its flexible design, the tamping unit is equally ideal for tamping a few turnouts and long sections of plain-line tracks.
The best of both worlds: one flexible segment for working in the turnout, one segment for maximum performance on plain-line track
