The Bomag BW177D-5 is a used padfoot compactor — sometimes called a sheepsfoot compactor — available in Virginia, USA. Padfoot compactors are purpose-built for soil and cohesive material compaction, using a drum fitted with protruding foot-shaped lugs to knead and densify material from the ground up. Bomag is a well-established German manufacturer recognised worldwide for its range of compaction and road-building equipment, serving earthworks, civil construction, and road construction industries.
This 2019 machine is equipped with a 66-inch vibratory drum, giving it a wide compaction pass suitable for larger earthmoving and site preparation tasks. The vibratory mechanism delivers dynamic compaction force in addition to the static weight and lug action of the padfoot drum, improving penetration and density in clays, silts, and other cohesive soils. A shell kit is included with this unit, which allows the padfoot drum to be converted for use on granular or smoother compaction applications, effectively extending the machine's versatility on mixed-material sites.
