Sustainability and Cost-Efficiency
Track quality is not a luxury, but an economic necessity.
Univ.-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr. Peter Veit, TU Graz
The continuous working action reduces wear on the brakes, cardan shafts, and gearboxes. At the same time, it increases the machine’s output. The tamping unit frequency control makes it possible to penetrate old and hardened ballast beds more easily and extends the service life of the work units.

[…] if a track geometry defect is present, the cumulative MGT “life” of the rail was approximately 30 % less than that of a rail defect with no track geometry defect.

Frequency control
The frequency control demonstrably leads to a lower load on the entire tamping unit, reduces wear, and increases efficiency.

Precise track geometry
P&T machines produce an extremely precise track geometry with an accuracy of < 1 mm.
