The best of both worlds
Continuous 2-sleeper tamping of plain-line tracks and turnouts
Highlights
- Increased performance through continuous working action and 2-sleeper tamping technology
- Maximum flexibility thanks to the pivoting tamping unit, eight tamping unit segments that can be lowered individually, and tilting tamping tines
- React to obstacles flexibly by switching to 1-sleeper tamping mode
- Tamping and stabilizing in one pass
- High track position durability and resistance to track distortion thanks to dynamic track stabilization
- Reduces speed restrictions: optimized availability of the infrastructure after maintenance with dynamic track stabilization
- Reaches the worksite fast thanks to a maximum speed of 100 km/h during self-propelled transfer travel
- Spacious multi-purpose areas (e.g. workshop, crew area)

2X-4x4 tamping unit
Universal tamping at its best
Why combine two different tamping units? The tamping unit half that adjusts to turnouts offers more movability and flexibility. On plain-line tracks, however, performance is key: this is where both halves work together in 2X mode. The second tamping unit half 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 half for working in the turnout, one half for maximum performance on plain-line track
