About this machine
This Caterpillar 815F 2 is a padfoot compactor — sometimes referred to as a sheepsfoot compactor — a heavy piece of soil compaction equipment used in earthmoving, road construction, landfill operations, and large-scale grading projects. Padfoot compactors achieve deep, uniform compaction of cohesive soils and mixed fill materials through the action of their studded drum, making them a staple on infrastructure and civil engineering job sites. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of construction and mining equipment, with a long-established reputation for heavy machinery built to demanding industry standards.
This unit was manufactured in 2012 and is offered in used condition from California, USA, priced at $395,000.
The cab is fitted with an enclosed ROPS structure, providing rollover protection combined with a fully enclosed operator environment for improved comfort and safety in all-weather conditions. The machine is configured to run on ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, in line with modern emissions and fuel quality requirements. Mirrors are installed to support operator visibility around the machine, and auxiliary lighting is included for working in low-light conditions or during extended shift operations.
Two notable technology-readiness features are present. The machine is Grade Control Ready, meaning it has been prepared at the factory or configured to accept an aftermarket grade control system without major modification — a practical advantage for contractors looking to add automated grading capability. It is also GPS Ready, indicating the necessary infrastructure is in place to integrate a GPS-based machine control or fleet management system.
