09-2X-IR

The concept of the Plasser 09-2X/IR tamping machine is based on the fully approved 09-3X design. The new feature of the Plasser 09-2X/IR tamping express is the 2-sleeper tamping bank arrangement, which enables either two sleepers to be tamped in one operation resulting in higher tamping performance, or only one sleeper in case sleeper spacing becomes irregular or the machine has to work on track sections with skewed sleepers. Each tamping bank can be lifted and lowered individually to provide maximum flexibility during tamping on maintenance or renewals jobs, which makes the 09-2X/IR very versatile for the user.
