Beaver tamper tamping on the railway

Beaver lightweight tampers

Our Beaver lightweight tampers have the same functionalities as a main line tamper, but are more compact in size, and therefore can be easily transported across the whole of the UK by road, quickly on-tracked, or can be lifted by crane on to site where main line access is limited.

Being lightweight means our Beaver tampers are ideal for tamping on heritage railways, private sidings, depots, light rail, tram and urban transit lines, and have a low axle loading meaning greater flexibility for tamping over structures. Their relatively compact size and low weight does not reduce their efficacy on the national network as the core tamping systems replicate those on mainline tamping machines.

Both Beaver tampers can tamp up to 300m of plain line per hour (depending on site conditions), and our S&C tamper can adapt to both plain line, S&C, and third and fourth rail areas. 

Fitted with smart ALC technology, our machines have the most up to date measurement system available in the UK. 

Our team is happy to advise on site access, logistics, POS, and delivery requirements, and we can provide additional engineering services, maintenance, renewals, and construction support for any larger projects.
