2022 Caterpillar Soil Compactors 815K

Designed with durability built in, the Cat 815K 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:

• Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System (APECS) delivers improved transmission shifting performance and a higher level of comfort for operators.

• Decelerator Pedal acts as a brake, transmission neutralizer and an engine decelerator to override the engine speed selected by the throttle lock. Allows the operator to slow speeds when the throttle lock is engaged and to return to throttle lock without pressing a resume or set button.

• Electro Hydraulic Controls increase productivity with responsive implements feature. Operate comfortably with easy-to-use soft-detent controls.

• Steering System provides confident machine operation and precise control enabled by the 815K's load sensing hydraulic steering system.

• Increased efficiency with variable displacement piston pumps that give operators precise positioning for easy maneuvering in tight areas with 42 degree articulation in each direction.

• Steering and Transmission Integrated Control System (STIC™) enhances operator comfort by integrating steering and transmission control functions in a single lever. Includes finger-controlled gear selection.

• Designed and made with purpose-built structures to remain safe and durable for the long run.

• Long-life-designs ensure multiple life cycles and ability to withstand the toughest conditions.

• Full box-section rear frame resists torsional shock and twisting forces.

• Heavy-duty steering-cylinder mounts efficiently conduct steering loads into the frame.

• Deep system integration of new engine and emissions system, power train, hydraulic system and cooling system. It all adds up to lower fuel consumption and improved emissions control.

• Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System (APECS) delivers consistent, smooth shifting and efficiency through integrated electronic controls.

• Strategic use of metallurgy and heat treating ensures long-life gears.

• Cat C7.1 engine Is designed for maximum fuel economy and increased power density.

• Two engine options are available to meet Tier 4 Final/Stage IV or Tier 3/Stage IIIA equivalent emissions standards (depending upon market).

• Engine features innovative Cat electronics, fuel injection process, air-management systems and aftertreatment with Cat Selective Catalytic Reduction. And, automated aftertreatment regeneration eliminates need for operator attention.

• Integrated systems intelligently lower working engine speeds and reduce overall system heat loads resulting in improved performance and fuel efficiency.

• Next generation fuel injection systems control fuel metering through a series of carefully timed microbursts providing cleaner combustion and the most efficient fuel burn.

• Chevron Tamping Tip Design provides greater ground pressure, more compaction, excellent traction and a smooth ride.

• Compaction is achieved from the bottom of the lift to the top. The tapered tips walk out of the lift without “fluffing” the soil. The top of the lift is compacted and the surface is relatively smooth and sealed so hauling units are able to maintain a high speed when traveling over the fill.
