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.
