The FCS RCT 1500 P Vertical Ballast Tamper is built for efficient ballast consolidation and compaction operations on railway tracks and switch zones. Equipped with a petrol engine and specially designed vibration-absorbing handles, it offers reduced operator fatigue and improved operational comfort in challenging rail maintenance settings. The machine’s lightweight construction (just 19.4 kg) ensures easy transport and deployment in confined or remote track environments.
Key Features:
-
- Petrol engine power (approx. 1.5 kW) for self-contained operation — no external power required.
- High vibration frequency (116 Hz) to deliver effective tamping and ballast settling.
- Compact weight: ~19.4 kg, making it suitable for use on switches, rails and constrained areas.
- Vibration-absorbing handles to reduce transmitted vibration to the operator.
- Quick tool-head replacement to minimise downtime during rail maintenance.
- Ideal for use in track renewal, tamping around switches, rail repair zones and other track-bed tasks.
Available for hire from HTC, supporting New Zealand contractors, rail maintenance teams and infrastructures services with professional rail-specific equipment.
