Unimat 08 4x4 / 4S RT Plasser & Theurer A specialist tamper for S&C tamping with a plain line capability. Four tamping banks (four tools each) can be moved laterally and the individual tools tilted to achieve access between the various obstructions within S&C. The tamping banks can be slewed to accommodate skewed sleepers. An extra lifting arm is available to lift the track on the associated long bearers and the tamping banks can be extended outside of the machine to compact the ballast under the long sleepers. Lift frames are fitted with hooks which can lift off the rail head or rail foot in areas of S&C and have roller clamps when operating on plain line. The machine is fitted with a computerised lifting and lining system which enables levelling and alignment of track to pre-determined designs or calculated improvement following an on site measurement. 08 Unimat (16 tool) work on plain line track and S&C in both non third rail and (in 12 tool format) third rail electrified areas and can transit to site at up to 60mph.

Ballast Regulators USP 5000C Plasser & Theurer The ballast regulator is fitted with two sets of ploughs; one set to plough the 4ft and the other set to clear the sleeper ends. The positions can be changed to plough ballast in or out of the 4ft. The second set of ploughs drop down over the cess and can bring ballast in from the cess. The brush can be used to level the top of the ballast and any excess is transferred to the onboard conveyor system which can transfer the ballast to either the cess or to the internal ballast box. The ballast box can be used to drop ballast to the left or right side of the 4ft or the left or right cess. Machines for use in third rail electrification areas are fitted with 4ft brushes only and modified ploughs to avoid damage to third rail.

Specialist OTM Track Relayer TJC60 Plasser & Theurer The Plasser & Theurer TJC60 is a twin jib tracklayer used for track removal and relaying. It is hauled to site by train and is then self propelled once on site. Tailor made solutions can benefit the purchaser where obscure lifts are required. Benefits The tracklayer has two rotating telescopic jibs controlled from a central cab. In operation the jibs are slewed out over the adjacent track and 60ft track panels can be lifted out using special grabs. The tracklayer can then travel down the track and load the panel on to a train on the same track that is being removed. This process can be reversed to lay assembled panels or by using a special sleeper beam can lay up to 30 loose sleepers correctly spaced ready for long welded rail to be threaded on. Year built: 1980 Length over buffers (m): 15.6 Tare weight (t): 86 Maximum speed (mph): 45 Minimum working radius (m): 100 Minimum travelling radius (m): 60 Route availability: RA7 N.B. To work with loose sleeper lifting beam and wagon. The jibs are telescopic to ensure accurate placement of the sleepers. Lifting panels with two jibs ensures the load is stable which removes the requirement to have a banksman walking with the load to control swing. Load Radius Chart SWL (Tonnes) The tracklayer jibs have no tail swing enabling it to be used with an adjacent line open to traffic. The tracklayer can be used to shunt other rail vehicles (up to 140 tonnes) within the worksite. Radius Two Jibs Single Jib Up to 4.7 12.5 7 4.7 to 5.25 10 7 8

GPC 72 12t Crane Plasser & Theurer The Plasser & Theurer GPC72 is a general purpose crane used for track renewal and maintenance. The crane is hauled to site by train and is then self propelled once on site. For project work, the crane can be supplied to site by Balfour Beatty Rail without the need for engineering train haulage. Tailor made solutions can benefit the purchaser where obscure lifts are required. Year built: 1980 Length over buffers (m): 11.1 Tare weight (t): 86 Maximum speed (mph): 45 Minimum working radius (m): 100 Maximum cant (mm): 150 Benefits Route availability: RA7 The crane has a telescopic jib giving a maximum radius of 13 metres. The crane superstructure is set over one end of the chassis to give good over end lifting capacity. The jib is fully rotating to any position. Stability is achieved without the use of outriggers which allows the crane to be fully mobile in all duties. The crane has no tail swing enabling it to be used with an adjacent line open to traffic. The crane can be used to shunt other rail vehicles (up to 140 tonnes) within the worksite.

Tramms MK5 The Plasser & Theurer TRAMM is a general purpose machine for the transportation of quantities of rail and materials to site. The machine can travel self propelled on the open line. Year built: 1980 Length over buffers (m): 29 Maximum speed (mph): 40 Minimum working radius (m): 60 Minimum working radius (m): 60 Maximum cant (mm): 150 Carrying capacity (t): 17 N.B. Can be used with intermediate wagon to increase capacity. High Capacity (HCT) The wagon has a length capacity of 63ft and is deep enough to allow three rail layers allowing a maximum of 42 rails to be carried. There are gaps in the side of the wagon to permit insertion of dunnage between the layers. The body construction has been designed to allow the load to be carried without restraints. Year built: 1988 Length over buffers (m): 48 Tare weight (t): 40 Maximum speed (mph): 60 Minimum working radius (m): 60 Maximum cant (mm): 150 Carrying capacity (t): 42 Unloading can be achieved by using the crane with the side doors in position or the side doors can be lifted out using a fork truck (or the crane) to allow unloading by fork truck if required. If using the crane, the automatic bail can be used for safe unloading without the need to access the wagon deck area. 10
