Caterpillar 815K Soil Compactor

Weighing 49,353 lbs. and equipped with a 248-net-hp Cat C7.1 ACERT Tier 4 Final/Stage IV engine, the 815K is designed for heavy-duty compaction and dozing operations. Available Cat Compaction Control system and COMPACT technologies provide compaction measurement and mapping capabilities that enhance the overall compaction efficiency.

• Full-box-section rear frame resists torsional shock and twisting forces and heavy-duty steering cylinder mounts dissipate steering loads into the frame
• Four forces (pressure, manipulation, impact and vibration) combine with the modified chevron tamping wheel tip design to meet density requirements in fewer passes (forward or reverse)
• STIC (Steering and Transmission Integrated Control) system allows single-lever, low-effort steering with simple side-to-side movements, as well as fingertip transmission control
• 3F/3R planetary powershift transmission uses integrated electronic controls for smooth shifting
• Available Compaction Control system uses Machine Drive Power (MDP) technology to measure rolling resistance and correlate resistance with soil stiffness
• Optional 3D mapping system provides a graphic, real-time view of compaction progress and a record of compaction results
• Available COMPACT technologies combine an advanced compaction measurement system with in-cab guidance and reporting capabilities
• Cat LINK technologies wirelessly deliver pertinent operating data via the online VisionLink user interface
• Isolation-mounted cab reduces vibration and sound and a Comfort Series III air suspension seat adds to operator comfort
• Expansive glass areas and rearview camera ensure all-around visibility
