Husqvarna LG 504 – High-Force Reversible Plate Compactor for Deep Soil and Surface Work
The LG 504 is a powerful, diesel-powered reversible plate compactor engineered to handle deep and medium-deep granular soil with high efficiency and control. Built for professionals who need serious compaction strength in tight or confined work zones, this machine offers superior force, durability, and serviceability. Whether you’re working in road construction, pipeline backfill, or site prep, the LG 504 is built to deliver performance that goes the distance.
High-Impact Compaction in Tough Environments
With a 27.56-inch plate and centrifugal force output of 65 kN (14,612 lbf), the LG 504 is designed to reach deep into the soil for maximum density. It’s particularly useful where rollers can’t access—such as narrow trenches, slopes, and obstructions, making it an ideal tool for base preparation in heavy-duty applications.
- Effective for roadbeds, structural base layers, and backfill
- Reaches deeper layers than many smaller compactors
- Designed for compacting granular material and crushed stone
Powered by a Reliable Hatz Diesel Engine
At the core of the LG 504 is the Hatz 1D81Z diesel engine, chosen for its durability, fuel efficiency, and long service life. With easy service access and low emissions, it ensures smooth operation throughout long shifts and tough job site conditions. This engine reduces downtime while keeping fuel consumption in check, which is essential for productivity.
- Fuel-efficient and emissions-compliant diesel power
- Simple maintenance layout for quick servicing
- Delivers reliable performance across long work hours
Durability and Ergonomic Handling
The LG 504 is built with a Hardox 400 steel bottom plate, offering exceptional wear resistance even on abrasive surfaces. An ergonomic, vibration-damped handle allows operators to control the unit with precision while reducing physical fatigue. The forward and reverse functions offer full directional control, giving users flexibility to manage tight work areas without sacrificing compaction power.
- Hardox 400 plate resists deformation and wear
- Comfortable handle design enhances usability
- Built-in transport eye for easy mobility on site
Light Surface and Pavement Versatility
While its primary focus is soil, the LG 504 can also support light-duty compaction of asphalt in edge zones, base layers, and patch areas. As a heavy-duty vibratory plate compactor, it brings the added benefit of surface versatility, especially in applications where rollers can’t effectively maneuver.
- Assists in compacting pavement patches and transitions
- Great for confined curbs, corners, and driveway prep
- Flexible tool for both deep base and light surface work
The LG 504 is the powerhouse of the reversible plate compactor category, designed for serious professionals tackling demanding compaction work. With its high-force output, durable design, and reliable diesel engine, it’s an essential tool for crews needing precision, power, and performance. Choose the LG 504 when your job requires deep compaction, limited access, and consistent, high-quality results.
