Hydraulic Turnout Tamping Machine

Hydraulic turnout tamping machine is a track maintenance machinery equipment specially designed for railway turnout sections.
The core function is the tamping operation of the ballast at the bottom of the turnout sleeper, and it can also meet the tamping requirements of the main line track bed. The equipment adopts advanced hydraulic technology and structural design, and has the characteristics of efficient operation, stable performance, and convenient operation. It is especially suitable for the maintenance scenarios of modern railway heavy-load lines.

Hydraulic Turnout Tamping Machine




1. The high-amplitude vibration force, in combination with the optimal vibration frequency, ensures that the ballast is fully compacted and significantly enhance track stability.


2. A set of turnout tamping operations can be completed in a short time, significantly enhancing line maintenance efficiency.

3. The straight and curved tracks can be tamped without moving the switch rail, which can effectively reduce the auxiliary operation time.


4. Compatible with various types of turnouts and mainline tamping operations.




Key Features


Tamping Performance

High-Amplitude Vibration: A 6.6kW hydraulic motor generates 60–70Hz vibration frequency and 5kN vibration force, ensuring ballast particles are fully compacted (ballast density reaches ≥1.8g/cm³) to support heavy train loads.

Efficient Operation: It can complete tamping for a standard 12# turnout in 20–30 minutes—3 times faster than manual tamping (which takes 1.5–2 hours). This shortens the maintenance window, critical for high-frequency railway lines.

No Switch Rail Movement: Unlike traditional tamping machines, it can tamp straight and curved turnout sections without moving switch rails. This eliminates auxiliary operation time (e.g., repositioning switch rails) and reduces the risk of switch rail damage.


Versatility & Practicality

Multi-Scenario Compatibility: It works for both turnouts (12#、18#、24#) and mainline tracks, eliminating the need to purchase separate machines for different track types. This reduces equipment investment costs for railway operators.

Customizable Track Gauge: It supports standard track gauges (1435mm) and can be customized for narrow-gauge (e.g., 1067mm) or broad-gauge (e.g., 1520mm) tracks based on customer needs.

Portable Design: Weighing 322kg, it can be transported by a small truck and moved by a hydraulic lift (included) to the tamping site. The control panel is ergonomically designed, allowing one operator to control the tamping process.


Durability

Heavy-Duty Construction: The tamping heads are made of wear-resistant alloy steel (Mn13), which resists abrasion from ballast and lasts 2–3 years under normal use.

Hydraulic System Protection: It includes a pressure relief valve (to prevent hydraulic oil overpressure) and an oil filter (to remove impurities from hydraulic oil), ensuring the hydraulic system operates stably for 5,000+ hours.



The Hydraulic Turnout Tamping Machine is a specialized track maintenance tool designed to solve ballast loosening in railway turnout sections—a major cause of track instability, excessive vibration, and even train derailment risks. By using advanced hydraulic technology, it delivers high-amplitude vibration (60–70Hz) to compact ballast under turnout sleepers, restoring ballast density and track stability. Unlike manual tamping (which is labor-intensive and inconsistent), this machine ensures uniform ballast compaction, extending turnout service life by 40% and reducing follow-up maintenance frequency. Key selling points include compatibility with both turnouts and mainline tracks, no need to move switch rails during operation, and customizable track gauge support. It is particularly suitable for heavy-load railway lines (e.g., freight railways) where turnout ballast is quickly loosened by heavy trains.

Hydraulic Turnout Tamping Machine Hydraulic Turnout Tamping Machine Hydraulic Turnout Tamping Machine



• Railway turnout sections (for regular ballast compaction to maintain track stability);

• Mainline track beds (compacting ballast in areas with high train traffic);

• Heavy-load railway lines (e.g., freight railways transporting coal, steel) where turnout ballast is quickly loosened;

• High-density operation lines (e.g., passenger railways with trains every 10–15 minutes) where fast maintenance is required.
