Husqvarna LT 6005

The Husqvarna LT 6005 is a powerful, well-balanced petrol-powered tamping rammer designed for efficient compaction of granular and cohesive soils, including clay and silt. Powered by a Honda GXR120 engine specifically developed for rammers, it delivers high impact force and fast working speeds in a compact, durable design.

Featuring a 230 mm compaction plate, the LT 6005 is ideal for compacting soil in trenches and other restricted spaces, including around pipes, pillars and foundations. Its balanced construction provides excellent traction and manoeuvrability, while ergonomic handling and accessible service points support efficient day-to-day operation. With low emissions, excellent operator control and practical maintenance features, the LT 6005 is a reliable choice for professional groundworks and construction applications.

Recommended applications

• Trench compaction: Compacting soil in narrow trenches for utility, drainage and groundwork projects.

• Pipe and cable installations: Consolidating backfill around underground pipes, cables and other services.

• Compaction around structures: Working around pillars, foundations and other obstacles in confined spaces.

• Clay and silt compaction: Consolidating cohesive soils to create a stable and reliable ground base.

• Utility reinstatement: Compacting backfill following underground service installation, repair and maintenance.

• Construction and groundworks: Preparing and consolidating soil in areas where larger compaction equipment is less practical.

Key benefits

• High compaction performance: The powerful Honda GXR120 engine, combined with a compact and durable chassis, delivers high impact force for efficient soil consolidation.

• Excellent ergonomics: A single lifting point and rollers on the steering bow help simplify handling and movement around the worksite.

• Easy manoeuvrability: The balanced design provides excellent traction and control, particularly in trenches and confined working areas.

• Reliable Honda engine: The purpose-designed GXR120 petrol engine provides dependable performance for demanding compaction applications.

• Low noise and emissions: Designed to provide controlled operation with low noise and reduced exhaust emissions.

• Easy servicing: Accessible service points simplify engine and foot oil checks, as well as air filter cleaning and replacement.

• Practical operator controls: Three-position throttle control offers idle, full-speed and stop settings. The stop position also closes the fuel line to help prevent leakage.
