Drone Tamper
Harsco Rail’s Drone Tamper utilizes continuous action technology. The Drone Tamper converts a standard production/switch tamper into a high production, switch capable operation. A map of the tamped and un-tamped ties is transmitted via wireless radios from the lead tamper to the Drone Tamper. By increasing production rates and reducing operating costs, the Drone technology makes it easier to maintain your track.
