Optimum flexibility, maximum environmental performance
Continuous tamping of plain-line tracks and turnouts
- Flexible work units for turnouts and high output on plain-line track
- Short track possessions can be optimally used
- Maximum flexibility in the turnout thanks to variable use of tamping tines, 3-rail lifting, and 4-rail tamping technology
- Can be combined with 1-sleeper or 2-sleeper tamping units
- The main machine has additional space for a workshop area or crew room
- Track stabilizing and tamping in one pass
- High machine availability thanks to a maximum speed of 100 km/h during self-propelled transfer travel
- EN 13848-compliant recording measuring system can be integrated optionally

With the Unimat 09/4S series, you have all the equipment on board for the perfect tamping result.
Nonetheless, the machine is relatively compact. Its focus is on turnout maintenance. However, the continuous-action tamping technology is also a benefit for maintaining connecting tracks and producing ramps before and after turnouts.
Your benefit
- Full turnout control: individually tilting roller lifting discs mounted on the longitudinally shiftable lifting and lining unit, lifting hooks, and additional lifting unit for the diverging rail
- Optimal positioning: as the tamping unit segments are independent of one another, the Unimat offers a high degree of flexibility. Already during the first tamping cycle, it secures the turnout’s outermost positions to immediately fix the lateral position.
- Pre-measuring with maximum machine speed: inertial measurement unit (IMU), connected directly to the SmartALC
- E³ hybrid drive: work and travel electrically
- Quality at a glance: high transparency thanks to detailed logging with the Plasser TampingReport
- Dynamic track stabilization: more resilient track position thanks to controlled settlement and increased resistance to track buckling
Examples of the product
Technology that continues to set standards to this day
Continuous working action achieves spectacular increases in output. Machines in the Unimat 09/4S series offer increased output while producing excellent quality. The machine makes it possible to optimize track possessions and achieve your return on investment quickly.
Your benefit:
The technology used on Plasser & Theurer’s all-rounder allows optimal tamping results throughout entire turnouts, common crossings, and even hollow sleepers.
Its eco-friendly drive systems expand the machine’s field of application and reduce operating costs significantly. Benefit from increases in machine availability and utilization, including maximum speeds of up to 100 km/h when self-propelled.
The fine art of turnout tamping
Turnout maintenance is a complex process. Turnouts differ greatly in design. This is why tamping machines need a great degree of variability to optimally adjust to the conditions at hand. This is why Plasser & Theurer offers various types of tamping units: they are all versatile in application. Their special design has been optimized for specific application scenarios. This allows you to react precisely to the requirements of your market.
4x4 tamping unit
Setting the standard in turnout maintenance
Tried and tested working parameters for optimal tamping results: the universal tamping unit of the Unimat 09-4x4/4S 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.
2X-4x4 tamping unit
The 2-in-1 tamping unit
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.
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 Unimat 09-8x4/4S tamping machine can switch to 1-sleeper tamping mode as required. Thanks to these features, your machine combines the high performance of 2-sleeper tamping with maximum flexibility.
