The Plasser & Theurer KSP 2002 is a specialized railway maintenance machine designed to perform ballast regulation, track stabilization, and final track finishing operations following tamping and track renewal activities. Combining ballast plowing, sweeping, and stabilization functions in a single machine, the KSP 2002 significantly improves maintenance efficiency and track quality.

Powered by a KHD F12L 413FW air-cooled 12-cylinder diesel engine delivering 240 kW (320 HP), the machine provides reliable performance for demanding railway maintenance operations. Its hydrostatic drive system, utilizing variable plunger pumps and hydraulic motors, ensures smooth power transmission and precise control during both travel and working modes.

With an operating weight of up to approximately 59.2 tons when loaded with ballast and a maximum travel speed of 70 km/h, the KSP 2002 offers excellent mobility across railway networks. The integrated ballast plow, sweeper, and dynamic stabilization systems help restore ballast profiles, improve track geometry retention, and enhance ride quality after maintenance work.

Ideal for railway authorities, infrastructure contractors, and maintenance divisions, the KSP 2002 is a proven solution for achieving higher track stability and reducing future maintenance requirements.
