CAT CS56B Padfoot Roller

The CAT CS56B Padfoot Roller is a nifty little roller designed to compact soil on the smaller civil jobs like utility companies and site development projects. Its compact size makes it perfect for those narrow job sites where a big roller just isn’t going to fit. Still, it packs a punch when it comes to compacting the soil, leaving a uniform density that’s going to be stable for whatever pavement or foundation is coming next.

It’s powered by a reliable Caterpillar diesel and has a great vibratory system that can handle clay and mixed fill with ease. The padfoot drum is a key part of what makes this roller so effective – it digs in deep and gets the job done quickly. And the articulated steering system lets you turn on a dime, even with a load on board.

Getting around in this thing is a breeze, thanks to a balanced weight distribution that keeps things stable even on uneven terrain. Plus, the operator platform is set up so you can see what you’re doing, with easy-to-use controls and a nice, comfortable working position.

Its build quality is top-notch, too – we’re talking Caterpillar’s usual standards here. So you get a robust machine with easy access to service points that will keep it running smoothly for years to come. Overall, the CAT CS56B Padfoot Roller is a popular choice for contractors and rental fleets doing smaller-scale earthworks and utility projects.
