  • The world’s leading tamping technology - tested under various operating conditions on every continent
  • Variable maintenance of plain-line tracks and turnouts
  • Time-saving turnout tamping thanks to tamping unit segments which can be lowered individually

Features

Quality cuts costs: our machines turn a tidy profit

To date, Plasser & Theurer has supplied 17,800 machines. Most of them are still in operation. This attests to the quality of the machines and the value of our Customer Services’ life-long machine and fleet support. Plus, it proves that high quality ensures high cost-efficiency: machines that have been in operation for 20 or 30 years paid off years ago.
