This Superpac 840P is a padfoot compactor — sometimes called a sheepsfoot roller — designed for soil and cohesive material compaction on earthmoving, road building, and site preparation projects. Padfoot compactors are used where smooth drum rollers are unsuitable, with the protruding foot pads penetrating and kneading clay-heavy or mixed soils to achieve thorough compaction across the full depth of a lift.
Power comes from a Cummins B5.9-C diesel engine, a six-cylinder unit producing 148 horsepower. The B5.9-C is a well-regarded construction-specification variant of Cummins' B-series engine family, known for its reliability and broad parts availability in heavy equipment applications. Compaction is delivered through a hydrostatic vibration system, which allows variable control of the drum's vibratory output through the machine's hydraulics rather than a mechanically driven eccentric assembly.
The drum measures 84 inches in width, providing a substantial compaction pass on each run. The machine weighs 27,740 pounds, a significant operating weight that contributes meaningfully to static compaction force alongside the vibratory system. The hourmeter reads 2,091 hours, indicating moderate use for a machine of this vintage.
This is a 1997 used machine located in Mexico, listed at $36,500.
