The Caterpillar CP56B is a heavy-duty padfoot soil compactor designed for large-scale civil infrastructure and highway projects. With an operating weight of nearly 12 tonnes, it provides the heavy-hitting compaction required for deep lifts in cohesive soils. It is extensively used across Australia for road embankments and large building pad preparation.

The CP56B utilizes Cat’s exclusive pod-style vibratory system, which is virtually maintenance-free and provides industry-leading reliability. Its high-traction drivetrain and Gradeability performance allow it to work efficiently on steep slopes and in soft, uncompacted materials where other machines might struggle.
