Husqvarna LF 80 LAT

The Husqvarna LF 80 LAT is a lightweight, fast-operating, petrol-powered forward plate compactor designed for efficient compaction of asphalt and soil. Powered by a reliable Honda GX160 engine, it delivers a centrifugal force of 19 kN and a working speed of up to 33 m/min, making it suitable for professional repair, maintenance and general construction applications.

With a 420 mm compaction plate and a specially designed base plate, the LF 80 LAT provides effective compaction across asphalt and suitable soil surfaces. Its integrated water distribution system helps prevent the plate from sticking to hot asphalt, while the large, corrosion-resistant water tank and oversized filling cap reduce interruptions for refilling.

Designed for operator comfort and practical handling, the LF 80 LAT features a patented low-vibration handle that helps reduce hand-arm vibration exposure. Transport wheels, a fully folding handle and a central lifting point make the machine easier to move around the worksite, transport between locations and store when not in use.

Recommended applications

• Asphalt compaction: Compacting asphalt during road repairs, resurfacing and pavement maintenance.

• Driveways and car parks: Preparing and repairing asphalt surfaces in residential, commercial and industrial areas.

• Footpaths and pathways: Compacting asphalt and suitable granular sub-base materials for pedestrian routes.

• Road maintenance: Completing localised repairs, reinstatement work and maintenance of paved surfaces.

• Soil compaction: Consolidating suitable granular soils during groundwork and surface preparation.

• Construction projects: Preparing and compacting surfaces for external works and general site maintenance.

• Block paving: Compacting laid paving blocks when fitted with a compatible optional protective paving kit.

Key benefits

• High compaction force: The 19 kN centrifugal force provides effective compaction performance for professional repair and maintenance work.

• Fast working speed: A travel speed of up to 33 m/min supports efficient progress across suitable surfaces.

• Versatile asphalt and soil use: The specially designed base plate supports compaction of both asphalt and suitable soil materials.

• Controlled water distribution: The adjustable watering system helps prevent the plate from sticking to hot asphalt while limiting water consumption.

• Large water tank: The corrosion-resistant tank and oversized cap make refilling easier and help reduce downtime.

• Reduced operator vibration: The patented low-vibration handle can reduce vibration exposure to below 2 m/s² at the designated handle under specified operating conditions.

• Easy transportation: Integrated transport wheels simplify moving the machine around the worksite.

• Space-saving storage: The handle folds completely to make transport and storage more convenient.

• Convenient lifting: A central lifting point helps with loading and unloading where suitable lifting equipment is available.

• Reliable Honda engine: The GX160 petrol engine delivers dependable power for regular professional use.

• Optional paving protection: A compatible paving kit provides a cushioned interface to help protect block paving against scratches and cracking during compaction.
