Railway maintenance machinery refers to the equipment used to monitor and fix damages on the railway tracks. Some of the commonly used machineries include tampers, ballast regulators, dynamic track stabilizers, ballast cleaners and undercutters. They are majorly used for inspecting, repairing and maintaining railway tracks to ensure smooth functioning and enhanced operational life of the railway tracks. They are also utilized for the mechanical maintenance of vertical and horizontal alignment of the railway tracks. The equipment can be utilized on both ballast and non-ballast tracks to lift the sleeper and pack the ballast to prevent abrasion, deformation, change of geometry and damage to various components of the tracks.
