The Plasser & Theurer 09-16 CSM Continuous Action Tamping Machine is designed for high-output railway maintenance operations where productivity, accuracy, and reliability are critical. As one of the most advanced tamping systems in the railway industry, the 09-16 CSM enables continuous tamping operations while maintaining precise track geometry correction and ballast stabilization.

Powered by a DEUTZ TCD2015V8 water-cooled 8-cylinder diesel engine delivering 370 kW at 2,100 RPM, the machine provides exceptional performance for demanding maintenance projects. The advanced ZF 4WG65II EST-25 automatic transmission with torque converter ensures smooth power delivery and efficient operation under varying track conditions.

The main machine weighs approximately 63 tons and is paired with a dedicated recording car weighing 23.2 tons, enabling precise measurement and quality control during maintenance operations. With a maximum travel speed of 80 km/h and a minimum working radius of 200 meters, the 09-16 CSM offers excellent mobility and operational flexibility across railway networks.

Designed for 1,067 mm gauge railways, the machine is ideally suited for national railway operators, metro systems, industrial railways, and infrastructure maintenance contractors seeking professional-grade track maintenance equipment.
