This Caterpillar 815B is a padfoot compactor — sometimes called a sheepsfoot compactor — a heavy soil compaction machine used in earthmoving, road construction, and landfill operations to compact cohesive soils and granular materials. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of construction and mining equipment, known for building robust, high-productivity machines that serve infrastructure, earthworks, and resource industries globally.
This 1988 machine is offered in used condition from Alberta, Canada, and presents well overall. The operator environment is equipped with an enclosed cab, providing protection from the elements during operation. Visibility and safety are supported by work lights and good glass throughout. The machine also presents well cosmetically, with good paint and an overall clean appearance.
The compaction drum is reported to be in good condition, with the feet described as good — an important factor for effective soil penetration and compaction performance. Front and rear cleaner bars are fitted, helping to prevent material from packing between the feet and maintaining consistent compaction across the pass.
Grading capability is provided by a straight dozer blade with tilt function, allowing the operator to spread and level material ahead of compaction work. The blade face is described as in good condition. At $110,000, this is a well-equipped padfoot compactor ready to work.
