About this machine
This Caterpillar 815B is a used padfoot compactor — sometimes referred to as a sheepsfoot compactor — a heavy piece of road construction equipment designed to compact cohesive soils, clays, and mixed materials through the penetrating and kneading action of its drum-mounted steel feet. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of construction and earthmoving machinery, supplying equipment across road building, mining, landfill, and infrastructure sectors globally.
Built in 1981, this machine is offered in used condition from Texas, USA, and is priced at $44,900. The seller reports that the engine has been rebuilt, which is a meaningful refurbishment on a machine of this age and represents significant work to restore drivetrain reliability. The unit is equipped with a cab, providing the operator with an enclosed working environment.
Power output is rated at 216 hp, placing this compactor firmly in the heavy-duty segment and making it well suited to large-scale earthworks and site preparation projects. Operating weight is recorded at 44,169 lb, contributing to the compactive effort the machine delivers with each pass. Hour meter hours are unknown, so prospective buyers should factor in an independent inspection to assess overall wear and remaining service life.
At $44,900, this rebuilt-engine machine offers a point of entry into a capable class of compaction equipment for contractors and fleet operators working in road construction, embankment building, or landfill compaction applications.
