Hydraulic Ballast Tamper

A Ballast Tamper is a hydraulic attachment or rail-road machine used to compact or “tamp” ballast beneath railroad sleepers (ties) to ensure proper track stability, alignment, and level. By vibrating and pressing ballast beneath the sleeper, it restores the geometry of the track and ensures safe, smooth rail operations. This machine is essential for both new track construction and routine maintenance.
