TX16 Production/Switch Tamper - Harsco Rail

TX16 Production / Switch Tamper

Increased productivity from start-up to shut down – TX16 speeds up every aspect of the work day, safely. Cab deployable/stowable reference, integrated high-speed measurement, automated tamping, and hybrid index, combine to significantly increase overall productivity.

The TX16 leverages Harsco Rail’s multi-generational product, technology, and service experience – safely delivering high production and accurate track correction within a reliable and versatile tamper.

Performance:

The Hybrid Index tamping cycle blends traditional index and continuous action – paired with demonstrated tie finding technology to significantly increase productivity.
