Plasser's 09-2X C.A.T. is designed for the "skip tamping technique" on wood or concrete tie track and irregular tie spacing conditions. It consists of a 09-2X C.A.T. tamper as the main machine with an integrated, independently working tamping trailer. The main machine carries out all tamping, lifting and lining, with the work units mounted on a separate satellite frame that is connected to the main frame. The integrated tamping trailer, controlled by the main machine, tamps every skipped tie. The 09-2X C.A.T.'s design and construction allows production rates of up to 46 ties per minute.
