This Caterpillar 815B is a padfoot compactor — sometimes referred to as a sheepsfoot compactor — a heavy compaction machine used to densify cohesive soils, clay, and mixed fill materials on earthmoving, road-building, and civil construction projects. The padfoot drum's protruding feet penetrate and knead the soil surface with each pass, achieving deep, uniform compaction that smooth drum rollers cannot replicate. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, with a long history of building machinery for road construction, mining, landfill, and infrastructure development.
This machine is from 1986 and is offered in used condition from Tennessee, USA, at a price of $99,500.
