This Caterpillar CP-443B is a padfoot compactor — also commonly referred to as a sheepsfoot roller — a type of road compaction machine designed to densify cohesive soils, clays, and granular materials through the penetrating action of its studded drum. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, supplying machinery to the construction, mining, and infrastructure sectors globally.
This 1990 machine is powered by a Perkins 4.236T diesel engine, a four-cylinder turbocharged unit, providing reliable power for compaction operations. The drivetrain features a hydrostatic transmission, giving the operator smooth, stepless control over travel speed and direction. The compaction system is configured for both static and vibratory modes, allowing the operator to select the appropriate compaction method for the material and site conditions at hand.
The padfoot drum measures 68 inches in width, offering a substantial compaction pass width suited to larger earthworks applications. The machine rides on 9-24 tyres at the non-drum end, and its operating weight is listed at 15,225 pounds, placing it in the mid-range class for this category of compactor.
This used unit is currently located in Mexico.
