2025 Caterpillar Soil Compactors 815
Raising the Bar in CompactionDesigned with durability built in, the Cat 815 ensures maximum availability through multiple life cycles. Designed and manufactured for optimum performance and serviceability, this rugged, powerful machine delivers heavy-duty compaction and dozing.
Features may include:
OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL- Improved ingress/egress with an improved cab with flip up armrest.
- Keep your operators informed about machine conditions and operation with VIMS™ 3G machine monitoring system.
- Safety and visibility enhanced with standard rearview camera.
- Preferred temperature settings maintained with automatic climate control.
- Premium plus seat with leather finish containing forced air heating and cooling, two-way thigh adjustment, power lumbar and back bolster adjustment, and dynamic end dampening.
- Improved comfort with low operator sound levels.
- Easier access and in a controlled environment; electronics bay is located inside the cab.
- Focused on safety with ground level or platform access to most major components.
- Ground level: emergency shutdown, battery disconnect, and jump start.
- Quick visual inspection and minimize fluid contamination with sight gauges for coolant, transmission, and hydraulic oil.
- Electronic air inlet restriction indicator.
- Designed for ease of service and inspection.
- Operators and technicians can resolve any problems before failure using Vital Information Management System (VIMS).
- owerful, responsive Cat® 7.1 engine is designed for maximum fuel economy and increased power density.
- Reliable performance and low emissions.
- Conserve more fuel with the automatic engine and electrical system shutdown.
- Achieve greater momentum on grades and fuel savings by carrying that momentum through the shift points with the all new Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System (APECS) transmission controls.
- Operators experience less fatigue with throttle lock to maintain engine speed and reduce fuel burn.
