DymaxRail Series 67 ballast tamper attachment on excavator for production mainline tamping

Series 67 Ballast Tamper – Jackson 6700-Style Workhead for Mainline Production Tamping

The workhead your Class 1 operators already know — now on your excavator.

The Series 67 Ballast Tamper Attachment from Dymax Rail is engineered for high-output mainline maintenance. Its Jackson 6700-style workhead delivers consistent squeeze force and vibration for stable, uniform ballast compaction. Configurable 2- or 4-motor setup supports both production surfacing and spot tamping. With 360° rotation or tiltrotator compatibility, it mounts to the machines already in your fleet.

DymaxRail Series 67 ballast tamper — Jackson 6700-style workhead with 2 or 4 Harsco vibrator assemblies

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

  • Workhead Style: Jackson 6700-style for production tamping
  • Motor Options: 2 or 4 HARSCO-style vibrator assemblies
  • Rotation: 360° electro-hydraulic rotation or TRQ models for tiltrotators

APPLICATIONS

  • Mainline production tamping
  • Turnout and crossover maintenance
  • Surfacing and lining for track programs
  • High-volume tie replacement projects
  • Class 1 and contractor MOW programs

KEY FEATURES

  • Jackson 6700-style workhead: Delivers 46Hz tamping frequency and consistent squeeze force across the tine set — the same workhead geometry Class 1 and contractor operators already know.
  • 2 or 4 motor configurations: Scale output to the work. Run 2 motors for spot tamping and turnout maintenance; step up to 4 for production surfacing runs.
  • Rotation options: Full 360° electro-hydraulic rotation lets you work across the track without repositioning the machine. TRQ models mount directly to tiltrotator-equipped carriers.
  • 360° rotation or TRQ models: Choose electro-hydraulic rotation or tiltrotator compatibility for maximum carrier flexibility.
  • Bolt-on steel tines: Easy to service and replace, with weld-on pads for long wear life.
  • Harsco vibrator assemblies: Delivers 46HZ tamping frequency
  • Integrated flow control & divider: Ensures smooth, efficient operation across various carriers.
  • Transport stand with tie-down points: Simplifies handling, transport, and storage.

FAQ

The Jackson 6700 is a production tamping workhead design, historically associated with Harsco Rail, that has been widely used in North American mainline and turnout tamping programs. It uses paired vibrator assemblies — typically two or four motors — to deliver consistent squeeze force and high-frequency compaction across the tine set. The Series 67 is built around this workhead geometry, which means operators already trained on 6700-style equipment will recognize the tool behavior and maintenance requirements. For Class 1 railroads and large contractors running production programs, that familiarity reduces training time and simplifies parts sourcing.

It depends on the scope. A dedicated continuous tamping machine will always outpace an excavator attachment on a long, uninterrupted surfacing run. But the Series 67 in a 4-motor configuration is built for high-output work — 8 tines, 46Hz frequency, 360° rotation — and is used on Class 1 and major contractor MOW programs for production tamping in situations where a full tamping machine isn’t available, isn’t cost-effective to mobilize, or can’t access the work zone. For tie replacement projects, turnout programs, and supplemental tamping alongside a production crew, the Series 67 closes the gap considerably.

Both use Harsco-style vibrator assemblies and the same Jackson 6700-style workhead. The 2-motor models (4 tines, twin cylinder) are suited for spot tamping, turnout maintenance, and programs where the carrier is a backhoe loader or mid-size excavator. The 4-motor models (8 tines, four cylinders) are built for production surfacing on larger carriers — 16 to 25-ton excavators — where flow requirements and machine weight support the heavier assembly. If you’re unsure which configuration matches your machine and program, contact DymaxRail with your carrier model and hydraulic flow specs.
