Description

Husqvarna LG 164 – Lightweight Reversible Plate Compactor for Precision Work

The LG 164 is a compact, highly maneuverable reversible plate compactor engineered for smaller-scale compaction projects where control, agility, and consistency are essential. Perfect for driveways, walkways, private property developments, and narrow trenches, the LG 164 delivers professional-grade performance in areas where larger machines can’t operate. Its balance of power and portability makes it an indispensable choice for contractors who value efficiency in compact spaces.

Compact Size, Big Performance

With a plate width of 17.72 inches and a centrifugal force of 6,294 lbs., the LG 164 offers an ideal combination of compact form and effective impact force. Its smaller footprint allows operators to work with precision in tight zones—especially beneficial when preparing macadam beds, compacting around curbs, or working in backyard environments. Though compact, this vibratory plate compactor maintains a strong compaction capability on granular soils and base layers.

  • Ideal for residential paths, trenches, and foundation prep
  • High maneuverability for work in restricted areas
  • Consistent compaction with balanced force output

Reliable Power from Honda GX160 Engine

At the core of the LG 164 is a dependable Honda GX160 petrol engine, known for its low fuel consumption and clean-burning efficiency. It provides smooth, reliable performance for extended shifts, and the engine’s easy-start design ensures minimal downtime. This machine is built to perform with fewer emissions and low operating costs, making it ideal for both contractors and rental fleets.

  • Efficient Honda GX160 engine supports daily use
  • Reduced fuel consumption and cleaner operation
  • Long-lasting power for challenging work conditions

Durable and Comfortable by Design

The LG 164 features a Hardox 400 steel bottom plate, built to withstand frequent contact with stone and soil without premature wear. Its low-vibration handle reduces operator fatigue and increases comfort, making it easier to stay productive on long workdays. As a reversible plate compactor, its forward and reverse functions are controlled effortlessly, giving users total control over compaction direction and positioning.

  • Hardox 400 base plate resists wear and deformation
  • Ergonomic, low-vibration handle reduces strain
  • Simple forward/reverse lever for intuitive control

Versatile for Light Surface Work

Though primarily designed for soil and granular material, the LG 164 can also assist with light-duty compaction of asphalt surfaces. It’s especially effective on small patches or around edges where roller access is limited, providing flexibility on mixed-surface projects. As a compact vibratory plate compactor, it gives professionals the option to handle both soil and surface finishing in one tool.

  • Capable of compacting pavement patches and base layers
  • Useful around curbs, tight corners, and footpaths
  • Adaptable for both soft ground and surface treatment

The LG 164 stands out as a powerful, yet compact reversible plate compactor designed for high-precision jobs in residential and utility work. With strong compaction capabilities, a trusted Honda engine, and a rugged steel build, it’s an excellent solution for pros who need reliability, ease of use, and versatility in one efficient package. Choose the LG 164 for a tight-space compaction that doesn’t compromise on performance.
