09-2X

The required tamping performance per time unit determines the size of the tamping unit. In that sense, a high annual output may be just as crucial as short track possessions on high-capacity lines. The 09-2X and 09-3X models are equipped with the same frame design, and the 09-2X employs 2-sleeper working technology. This 2-sleeper technology provides optimal conditions assuming tamping at maximum speed is less of a priority. Our 09-2X model, with its compact 2-sleeper tamping unit, will win you over: more than 1,200 machines currently in operation attest to its success. You have the choice of either a classic 2-sleeper tamping machine or a machine which can switch to tamping individual sleepers using 1X mode (09-2X/SD).

Advantages of multi-sleeper tamping

However, continuously working MULTI-sleeper tamping machines show their full potential not only in short track possessions during maintenance tamping. Machines in the X series also offer advantages when laying new track, for example, following extensive track rehabilitation. They are designed for high lifting and lining forces. As lifts take place in multiple work stages, this also means the machine’s increased output allows you to complete construction noticeably faster.

For quality reasons: MULTI-sleeper tamping units provide more uniform working action, which translates into higher maintenance quality. Owing to a longer frame, bending stress of the rails decreases. And the subframe bogie that fixes it in place prevents elastic rebound of the track after tamping, lining, and lifting.
