This Caterpillar CP-433C is a used padfoot compactor, also commonly referred to as a sheepsfoot roller, built for soil and subgrade compaction on road construction, earthworks, and similar civil engineering projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, supplying machinery to industries including road building, mining, and infrastructure development worldwide.
The seller notes that the machine is equipped with a 68-inch compaction drum, which determines the working width on each pass and is a key factor in matching the machine to the scale of the project at hand. The padfoot configuration — characterised by the protruding foot-shaped lugs arranged around the drum — is designed to knead and penetrate cohesive soils such as clay and silt, achieving density at depth rather than simply at the surface.
This unit dates from 1996 and is offered in used condition, currently located in Mexico.
