This Bomag BW145PDH-5 is a used padfoot compactor — sometimes referred to as a sheepsfoot roller — offered from South Dakota, USA, and built in 2022. Padfoot compactors are specialist soil and subgrade machines, delivering deep compaction of cohesive soils, clays, and granular fills through the percussive action of their drum-mounted feet. Bomag is a globally recognised manufacturer of compaction and road-building equipment, producing machines that serve earthmoving, road construction, and civil infrastructure applications worldwide.
This is a single-drum machine equipped with padfoot drum configuration, and it is powered by a 74 HP engine. The drum measures 56 inches in width, and the machine has an operating weight of 12,346 pounds. Drive is hydrostatic, allowing smooth, variable speed travel without conventional gear changes. Travel direction and vibration are managed through a single lever control, simplifying operation and reducing operator workload.
The cab is a fully enclosed EROPS design, fitted with heat and air conditioning for year-round operator comfort. Work lights and rear mirrors are included, supporting operation in low-light conditions and improving rearward visibility. A front dozer blade is fitted, enabling the operator to spread or level material directly from the machine without a separate piece of equipment.
Additional features include two scrapers — which keep the padfoot drum clear of material buildup during compaction passes — and a self-locking differential, which improves traction and helps maintain consistent ground contact on uneven or soft terrain. Together, this specification makes the machine well suited to earthwork compaction, trench backfill, and subgrade preparation tasks.
