This 2005 Hypac C852C is a padfoot compactor — sometimes called a sheepsfoot roller — a type of heavy compaction equipment designed to compact cohesive soils such as clay and silty materials by kneading and pressing them with the tapered or padded feet arranged around its drum. Hypac is a recognised manufacturer of soil and asphalt compaction equipment, building machines used in road construction, earthmoving, landfill operations, and civil infrastructure projects.
The machine is powered by a 160 HP engine and carries an operating weight of 27,975 pounds, giving it substantial ballast for effective ground compaction. The drum measures 60 inches in diameter, a dimension that directly influences the contact area and compaction coverage per pass. At this weight and drum size, the unit is suited to medium-to-large scale compaction tasks where consistent soil density is required across a wide working path.
The hour meter reads 2,859 hours, and the seller confirms that the machine starts, runs, drives, and operates. This 2005 model is located in Texas, USA, and is listed at $29,900. Payment is accepted by cashier's check or wire transfer only.
