This Caterpillar CP-563E is a padfoot compactor — sometimes called a sheepsfoot roller or padfoot roller — a type of road compaction machine used to compact cohesive soils, clays, and granular sub-base materials during earthwork and road construction. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, serving industries that include road building, mining, infrastructure, and site development. This example was built in 2006 and is offered in used condition from North Carolina, USA, priced at $64,420.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3056E ATAAC engine displacing 366.2 cubic inches, turbocharged and intercooled, producing 150.2 horsepower gross and 143.5 horsepower net. The engine operates on a 24-volt electrical system supported by a 55-amp alternator. Fuel capacity stands at 87.2 gallons, supporting extended working shifts without frequent refuelling stops.
The machine has an operating weight of 26,191 pounds, contributing to its compaction capability on site. It travels at a maximum speed of 7.3 miles per hour. The drum is fitted with a blade measuring 8.3 feet wide and 26.8 inches in height, providing material management at the front of the machine during passes. Large 23.1x26 10-ply tyres support the rear of the machine.
