Highlights

  • High output on plain-line tracks and flexible work units in turnouts
  • Optimum use of short track possessions
  • Maximum flexibility in the turnout thanks to tilting tines, 3-rail lifting, and 4-rail tamping technology
  • Additional space for workshop and crew areas
  • Fit for the future with ETCS integration
  • Tamp and stabilize in one pass with integrated track stabilization on the power wagon (optional)
  • The frame is designed to maintain the heaviest types of superstructure (heavy haul lines)

2X-4x4 tamping unit

Universal tamping at its best
The combination of two different tamping units: the first tamping unit segment adapts to the turnout, offering more mobility and flexibility. On plain-line tracks, 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

8x4 tamping unit

Tamping with high performance and maximum flexibility
The 8x4 tamping unit is a whole new class in terms of universal tamping technology. As its name suggests, it features eight independent tamping unit segments with tiltable tamping tines. The continuous 2-sleeper tamping unit can switch to 1-sleeper tamping mode as required. This adds value, especially when working on hollow sleepers, where the point machine is located, or on twin sleepers. Double-slip turnout tamping is turnout tamping at its finest. The 8x4 tamping unit easily masters this task using its power reserves and versatility. Thanks to these features, your machine combines the high performance of 2-sleeper tamping with maximum flexibility.

Fit for the future with ETCS

The Unimat 09/4S series serves as the basis for continuing development of the Plasser UnimatExpress 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.

With integrated dynamic track stabilization as a functional add-on

  • Tamping and stabilizing in one pass
  • Creates a high-quality, homogeneously compacted ballast bed
  • Elimination or significant reduction of low-speed sections
  • High track position durability and track distortion resistance
  • 30% longer maintenance cycles
  • 10% increase in the service life of the ballast bed
