This Hyundai HR120C-9 is a padfoot compactor — also referred to as a sheepsfoot roller — a purpose-built soil and subbase compaction machine used in road construction, earthworks, and site preparation. Padfoot compactors use rows of protruding pads on the drum to penetrate and knead cohesive soils such as clay and silt, achieving uniform density at depth before final surface layers are applied. Hyundai is a globally recognised manufacturer producing a broad range of heavy construction equipment, including excavators, wheel loaders, and compaction machinery, serving civil engineering, infrastructure, and mining sectors worldwide.
This 2018 machine is powered by a Deutz TCD 2012 L042V engine producing 127 horsepower, a well-regarded diesel unit known for reliability and straightforward servicing. The drum measures 84 inches wide, providing a substantial compaction pass on each run. The vibratory system offers two amplitude and frequency settings, allowing the operator to adjust compaction energy to suit varying soil types and lift depths.
Drive and steering have been designed around reduced maintenance requirements. A low-maintenance centre-steering system is fitted, and the vibratory system itself is described as low maintenance. The drivetrain uses a four-stage hydrostatic system with traction control at the drum, giving the operator precise speed and force management across changing ground conditions. A no-spin rear axle is fitted, which helps maintain traction and prevents wheel slip on uneven or soft terrain. Both drive units are equipped with spring-loaded brakes, providing secure holding on slopes and during shutdown.
This unit is offered as a used machine, currently located in Texas, USA, and is listed at $70,700.
