Equipment Overview
The Cat 815 is a self-propelled, four-wheel soil compactor built for heavy-duty compaction and production dozing, with tamping foot wheels front and rear and an operating weight of 22,522 kg. It combines pressure, manipulation, impact and vibration-free compaction force with dozing capability, letting it spread fill, backfill, stockpile and boost scrapers on large earthworks sites.
Power comes from a Cat C7.1 engine producing 186 kW (249 hp) net at 2,200 rpm, meeting US EPA Tier 4 Final / EU Stage V emissions (a Tier 3 / Stage IIIA equivalent option is also available). A Cat Planetary Power Shift transmission gives three forward and three reverse speeds up to 18.2 km/h, and a rear oscillating axle with ±10° of travel keeps all four wheels in ground contact on uneven terrain. Cat Compaction Control with Machine Drive Power correlates rolling resistance with soil stiffness to indicate compaction progress in real time.
