Rail Industry Component:
Plasser American Corporation: Tamping Trailer - GRM2X

The Plasser GRM2X Tamping Trailer is an integrated, independently working tamping trailer that can be connected to the GRM3000T to increase productivity levels without the need of an additional operator. While the GRM3000T indexes from tie to tie, skipping one tie during the actual work process (lifting, lining, cross leveling, and tamping), The GRM2X tamping trailer, which is mechanically connected via TampLink® at all times and controlled by the GRM3000T, tamps every skipped tie. The mechanical connection allows the trailer to work like a conventional satellite tamper in a continuous action motion, with the added safety of a physical connection. The tamping trailer is self-contained with its own power unit, hydraulic components, electronic systems, etc.
