Ballast Tools Inc. manufactures Tungsten Carbide-protected tamping tools designed for long life and durability. Tamping tools are available for Jackson, Tamper and Plasser tamping machines. They have Carbide coverage on virtually all pad wear areas combined with metallurgically superior shanks, the company says. Their slim, impact-resistant, penetrating profile and high tool strength facilitate tamping in extremely compacted ballast, the company says. Long tool life reduces machine downtime due to changeouts, avoids dangerous on-track replacements, and increases tamping efficiency and quality, the company says.
