Special wehicles
Special wehicles we use to build or maintainance the railroad. For that we use machines for Levelling, lifting, lining and tamping.

The ballast bed fulfils important functions as the binding element between sleepers and substructure. Fouling increases over the years for various reasons. When the necessary good functioning is no longer assured, ballast bed cleaning must be performed.
This work can be performed highly efficiently using ballast bed cleaning machines made by Plasser & Theurer. Thanks to the high working speed of the machines, even short intervals between trains can be utilised. High cleaning quality and the re-use of large quantities of ballast, which is a very costly resource, ensure cost-effectiveness.

The ballast bed secures the track geometry against track buckling. The technically correct design of the ballast bed cross-section is essential. This means that sufficient quantities of ballast are distributed uniformly and in the defined profile along the entire course of the line.

When a train travels over a track, it generates enormous forces. The entire track consisting of rails, sleepers and ballast is an elastic system that deforms and returns to its original position.
Over the long term this high stress results in deterioration of the track geometry. This can lead to anomalies, which means that the ideal geometry of the track is no longer assured and in these areas it becomes necessary to impose temporary speed restrictions.
To avoid such a situation, tracks should be maintained at regular intervals – this includes levelling, lifting, lining and tamping. This ensures that the ideal geometry of the track is restored.
