Model 2400 Utility Tamper

The compact, powerful 2400 is a superb all-around utility tamper that is ideal for close quarters work such as switches and crossover.

The simple mechanics and rugged construction assure long, steady performance with little maintenance.

Because of the simplicity of its hydraulic vibratory motors and workhead operation, trouble shooting is easy. Repairs can be made quickly on the job and downtime is negligible.

The versatile 2400 features transverse sliding workheads, cross tamping with positive squeeze, economical all-hydraulic operation and optional light beam surface and / or line reference.

Tamping power comes from four hydraulic vibrators, two per side, each powering dual tamping tools - a total of 16 tamping blades per machine.

The 2400 will give you performance, reliability and economy. That's why short lines and contractors in particular like it.
