This Caterpillar CS-563C is a drum compactor — sometimes referred to as a roller or vibratory roller — a type of road construction and earthworks machine used to compact soil, gravel, asphalt, and other materials by passing a heavy rotating drum over the surface. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction, mining, and earthmoving equipment, with a long-established reputation for producing durable and reliable machinery across a broad range of industries.
According to the seller, this unit is configured as a padfoot compactor, meaning the drum is fitted with a pattern of raised metal feet — commonly called a sheep's foot or tamping drum — designed to achieve deeper, more thorough compaction of cohesive soils and clay-based materials rather than smooth-surface finishing work. The machine is powered by a six-cylinder diesel engine, indicating a multi-cylinder powerplant consistent with the demands of heavy compaction work. The drum measures 88 inches in working width, providing a substantial compaction pass with each run.
This is a used 2002 machine located in Mexico.
