Husqvarna LT 8005 Rammer – Diesel Soil Compactor

The Husqvarna LT 8005 is a powerful, heavy-duty diesel rammer designed for efficient compaction of granular and cohesive soils, including clay and silt. As the heaviest rammer in the range, it features a wide compaction foot and a well-balanced design, making it ideal for demanding groundworks, trench compaction and confined spaces around pillars, pipes and other obstacles.

Powered by a Yanmar L48V5 diesel engine delivering 3 kW, the LT 8005 combines high centrifugal force with optimised machine weight to achieve deep and effective compaction. Its durable construction, excellent manoeuvrability and operator-focused features make it suitable for professional contractors working on highways, utilities and construction projects.

Available with either a 280mm (11") or 330mm (13") compaction foot, the LT 8005 offers flexibility to suit different site requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

High Compaction Performance

The powerful diesel engine and durable gearbox deliver high speed and high impact force, helping achieve efficient compaction in challenging ground conditions.

Wide Compaction Foot

Available with 280mm (11") and 330mm (13") plate widths, providing options for different trench widths and compaction requirements.

Great Ergonomics

A single lifting point makes on-site handling easier, while an optional transport wheel kit is available to assist with transportation.

Easy to Manoeuvre

The balanced design provides excellent traction and manoeuvrability. Good visibility of the rammer foot during operation helps operators position the machine accurately.

Operator-Friendly Controls

The three-position throttle control offers idle, full-speed and stop settings. The stop position also closes the fuel line to help prevent leakage. A vibration-reduced handle helps reduce operator fatigue.

Durable Design

The side and engine protector frame helps protect the rammer's components and engine when working close to obstacles. The throttle control design also helps protect the centrifugal clutch by moving directly from idle to full speed.

Easy to Service

Accessible service points make routine maintenance more straightforward, including checking engine and foot oil levels and cleaning or replacing the air filter.
