Ballast Tamper

Most Vibrations Per Minute

Features

Ballast Tampers - Most Vibrations per Minute

Dymax Ballast Tampers for hydraulic excavators and backhoe loaders are ideal for spot maintenance of new ballast to securely position new rail bed.

Custom-Built Eccentric Systems

Dymax Ballast Tampers feature custom built eccentric systems and solid cast steel motors that deliver the highest vibrations per minute.

Ballast Tampers Hydraulic Options

 

DymaxRail provides an electro-hydraulic diverter valve kit for all Ballast Tamper models

For all models with DymaxRail rotation systems the machines require:

Vibratory Motor Circuit - One set of lines groups, one way flow
Tamp Tool Squeeze Arms - One set of lines groups, two way flow

Rotation Circuit - 12v or 24v electric service cable and switch routed to cab for operation.

For all models working with rotational tilt coupler systems:

Vibratory Motor Circuit - One set of lines groups, one way flow
Tamp Tool Squeeze Arms - One set of lines groups, two way flow

For customers with (3) designated functions on the machine, the tamper comes without the diverter valve and the machine does require a third set of lines groups, two-way flow for operation of the rotational system.

Durability for a Lifetime of Use

Built upon proven technology, Dymax Ballast Tampers are ideal for spot maintenance where new ballast has been added and needs tamping into secure position. Dymax Ballast Tamper tines feature RokGäard for long-lasting durability, productivity and reduced wear and maintenance. All Dymax Ballast Tampers are provided with storage stands.

 

Carbide Tines

All Dymax Ballast Tampers feature DymaxRail RokGäard tamping tines to provide years of productive use and service.

 

Dymax Engineering Excellence

Dymax Ballast Tampers can triple production on the line, proven to allow gangs to cover more length of track per day with significantly fewer injuries. One customer saved $20 million in injury claims by switching to Dymax Ballast Tampers.
