This Bomag BW213PDB-3 is a padfoot compactor — sometimes called a sheepsfoot roller — designed for soil and granular material compaction in earthworks, road construction, and civil engineering applications. Bomag is a well-established manufacturer of compaction and road construction equipment, producing machines that serve contractors, municipalities, and infrastructure projects worldwide.
Power comes from a Cummins 5.9-litre six-cylinder diesel engine, a widely respected powerplant known for durability and parts availability. Drive is hydrostatic, providing smooth, stepless speed control in both forward and reverse — a configuration well suited to compaction work where precise, consistent passes are essential. The machine is vibratory, meaning the drum generates oscillating force to achieve deeper compaction than static weight alone.
The compaction drum measures 84 inches wide and is fitted with padfoot segments, which are the raised, club-shaped lugs that penetrate and knead the material with each pass. This makes the machine particularly effective on cohesive soils such as clay, as well as mixed granular fills, where a smooth drum would be less efficient at achieving uniform density.
The hour meter reads 2,146 hours, offering useful context for assessing wear and remaining service life. The machine is offered in used condition and is located in Houston, Texas.
