The ND-4.2x4 is a light, hand-operated tamping machine designed for maintenance tamping tasks where a soft shaft is required—typically used to compact ballast or soil in confined areas during rail or small civil works maintenance.
Model naming conventions vary by manufacturer; ND-4.2x4 likely denotes the series (ND) and a size or performance-related designation (4.2x4). For the exact meaning, consult Tiegong's product literature or contact the manufacturer.
From the provided description: type is 'Shoulders', material is alloy, dimensions are 175 x 85 x 151 mm, brand is Tiegong, and place of origin is Liaoning, China. For full technical specs such as engine displacement, power output, shaft length, and operating weight, request the detailed datasheet from the supplier.
The product name indicates an internal combustion engine, but the exact engine type and fuel (e.g., gasoline, diesel, or petrol) are not specified in the description. Confirm the engine model and recommended fuel with Tiegong or the product manual before operation.
'Soft shaft' refers to a flexible or less rigid drive shaft designed to absorb shocks and allow safer operation in uneven or sensitive surfaces. It's typically used where some flexibility is needed to avoid damage to the machine or the work area.
The unit is listed as made from alloy, which suggests a balance of strength and weight. For details on the exact alloy grade, corrosion resistance, and component tolerances, request material specifications from the manufacturer.
The listed dimensions are 175 x 85 x 151 mm. These compact dimensions indicate a small, portable unit, but actual portability will also depend on weight and any handles or mounting points—ask the supplier for the machine's net weight and carrying options.
Typical maintenance for an internal combustion tamping machine includes checking and changing engine oil, cleaning/inspecting the air filter, tightening fasteners, inspecting the soft shaft and tamping shoe for wear, and replacing worn parts. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule in the user manual.
Tiegong should supply common spare parts such as tamping shoes, shaft components, filters, spark plugs, and belts. Confirm availability, part numbers, and lead times with your distributor or the manufacturer before purchasing.
Operators should wear appropriate PPE (safety boots, gloves, ear and eye protection), inspect the machine before use, secure loose clothing, keep bystanders clear, operate on stable ground, and follow the startup/shutdown procedures in the manual. Also ensure proper ventilation when using internal combustion engines.
Warranty and after-sales support details are not provided in the description. Contact Tiegong or the authorized dealer to confirm warranty length, coverage, and the process for service and repairs.
Some tamping machines accept different tamping shoes or extensions for varied tasks. Check with the manufacturer for compatible accessories and recommended attachments for the ND-4.2x4 model.
The product is manufactured in Liaoning, China, and the brand is Tiegong.
Request the technical datasheet, user manual, or parts list from your Tiegong dealer or the manufacturer's customer service. These documents should provide detailed specs, operating instructions, and maintenance schedules.
Consider the work environment (space, surface type), required compaction force, portability, engine/fuel type, durability, and available accessories. Compare specifications and consult with the manufacturer or dealer to match the ND-4.2x4's capabilities to your job requirements.
