The advantage of the MFS is its ability to transport, store, load, and unload material as a single unit or with other like units. It can also be used in combination with the Plasser Ballast Distribution System BDS 100/200, and various Ballast Undercutting/Cleaning Machines.

The unloading conveyor can also be rotated from side to side, allowing spoils or ballast to be discharged into cars on adjacent tracks.
