Description

Husqvarna LG 164 – Compact Reversible Plate Compactor for Precision Jobs

Power and Control in Tight Spaces

The LG 164 is a lightweight, yet powerful reversible plate compactor designed for small-to-medium compaction projects where maneuverability and precision are essential. Contractors often choose the LG 164 for jobs like driveways, walkways, narrow trenches, and private property developments. Because of its compact build, it performs where larger machines cannot and therefore ensures professional results without sacrificing efficiency.

Compact Design, Strong Impact

With a 17.72-inch plate width and 6,294 lbs. of centrifugal force, the LG 164 combines compact size with impressive impact strength. This balance makes it effective for foundation prep, macadam beds, and base layers. In addition, the machine excels as a vibratory plate compactor, consistently delivering reliable compaction in restricted areas. As a result, operators gain smoother surfaces and stronger foundations where precision truly matters.

  • Ideal for paths, curbs, and trench work
  • High maneuverability for confined areas
  • Balanced force output for uniform results

Reliable Power with Honda GX160

At its core, the LG 164 runs on a trusted Honda GX160 petrol engine. Known for fuel efficiency and clean operation, this engine delivers dependable output for extended shifts. Furthermore, the easy-start design minimizes downtime, while low emissions support environmentally conscious operation. Consequently, contractors benefit from reduced fuel costs without compromising performance.

  • Efficient, clean-burning engine for daily use
  • Reduced downtime with easy-start operation
  • Consistent power for demanding conditions

Durable and Comfortable by Design

Built with a Hardox 400 steel base plate, the LG 164 withstands frequent contact with stone, soil, and rough surfaces. Moreover, its low-vibration handle reduces operator fatigue, which allows crews to stay productive even during long workdays. As a reversible plate compactor, forward and reverse movements are smooth and controlled, giving operators full command over positioning and accuracy.

  • Rugged steel plate resists wear and tear
  • Ergonomic handle enhances comfort
  • Simple forward/reverse control for efficiency

Versatility Beyond Soil

While engineered for soil and granular materials, the LG 164 also supports light-duty compaction of asphalt. Therefore, it is a versatile tool for patchwork, edges, and areas inaccessible to rollers. By functioning as a compact vibratory plate compactor, it bridges the gap between soil compaction and finishing tasks, ultimately adding flexibility to every project.

A Trusted Choice for Professionals

Ultimately, the LG 164 stands out as a reliable solution for high-precision jobs in residential and utility work. By combining powerful performance, a proven Honda engine, and adaptability for both soil and compaction of asphalt, this machine is a smart investment for contractors who demand durability, ease of use, and consistent results.
