This Dynapac CA5000PD is a padfoot compactor — sometimes referred to as a sheep's foot roller — a heavy soil compaction machine designed to compact cohesive and semi-cohesive soils such as clay, silt, and mixed fill materials. The padfoot drum's protruding foot pads penetrate and knead the soil layer by layer, making this type of machine a staple on earthworks, embankment, and civil construction sites. Dynapac is a well-established Swedish manufacturer of road construction and compaction equipment, supplying rollers, pavers, and related machinery to the construction and infrastructure industries worldwide.
This example is a 2012 model currently showing 5,900 hours of use. It is equipped with a ROPS-certified air-conditioned cabin, providing the operator with a controlled environment and rollover protection for site safety requirements. Power comes from a Deutz diesel engine, a brand recognised for robust performance and serviceability in demanding construction environments.
The machine features dual amplitude vibration, meaning the operator can select between two levels of vibration force to suit different soil types and lift depths — a useful capability when moving between varying ground conditions on the same project. Four drive modes are available, giving the operator flexibility to match travel speed and traction to the compaction task at hand. The padfoot drum pads are reported to be in good condition. This unit is located in New South Wales, Australia, and is listed at AUD $46,627 excluding GST.
