About this machine

This Bomag BW211PDH-5 is a padfoot compactor — sometimes called a sheep's foot roller — a single-drum vibratory machine used to compact cohesive soils, clays, and granular fill in earthworks, road base preparation, and large-scale grading projects. Bomag is a well-established German manufacturer with a long-standing reputation in the compaction and road construction equipment industry, producing rollers, pavers, and milling machines for contractors worldwide. This example is a 2024 model currently located in South Dakota, USA, and is offered in used condition.

The machine is powered to 128 HP and carries an operating weight of 27,960 pounds, placing it firmly in the heavy compaction class suited to major earthmoving and infrastructure work. The working drum measures 84 inches wide, providing broad coverage on each pass. Drive and steering are fully hydrostatic, with hydrostatic travel and vibration drives complemented by hydrostatic articulated steering, giving the operator smooth, responsive control across the full range of ground conditions.

Operator inputs are simplified through a single lever that governs both travel and vibration, reducing fatigue on long shifts. The machine is fitted with an OROPS cab structure and includes work lights front and rear for operation in low-light conditions. An LCD monitor provides the operator with machine feedback at a glance, and a self-locking differential aids traction on uneven or sloped terrain.

Two operational modes add further versatility: EcoMode supports fuel-efficient running during lighter-duty passes, while a dedicated Loading Mode assists with safe drive-on and drive-off during transport. The overall specification makes this a well-equipped, production-capable padfoot compactor ready for demanding soil compaction applications.
