The MFS 100 and MFS 100 S units are used for transporting up to 90 tons of old ballast and other superstructure materials. The MFS units are usually used in combination with a ballast cleaning machine, but also separately, e.g. for unloading ballast into a trench. The MFS 100 can operate in combination with all other MFS units and the ballast transfer station. The MFS 100 S can also be used as bottom dumpers, and as such can dump ballast directly in the track as well as conveying the load.
