This Caterpillar 815F 2 is a padfoot compactor — sometimes referred to as a sheepsfoot compactor — a heavy piece of road construction equipment used to compact cohesive soils, clay, and similar materials in preparation for road bases, embankments, and earthwork projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earth-moving machinery, supplying equipment to the construction, mining, and infrastructure industries globally.
This particular unit is a 2008 model year machine carrying serial number CAT0815FVBYN00454, offered in used condition from Pennsylvania, USA. It is powered by a Cat C9 ACERT engine, a Caterpillar-branded powerplant noted for its emissions management technology. The machine has logged 10,560 hours on its meter as of August 2023.
The operator is accommodated in an EROPS cab — an enclosed, rollover-protective structure — fitted with both heating and air conditioning, making it suitable for year-round operation in varied climates. The machine is equipped with a 12-foot 4-inch S-blade with tilt functionality, allowing the operator to push and manage material directly in front of the machine.
The compaction wheels measure 39 inches and carry 60 feet per wheel, providing the padfoot coverage necessary for effective soil compaction across the drum surface. Operating weight is listed at 45,765 pounds, placing this firmly in the heavy compactor class. The asking price is $350,000.
