Husqvarna LF 100 LAT Forward Plate Compactor - 967855102

Husqvarna LF 100 LAT Forward Plate Compactor - 967855102

The LF 100 LAT is a fast-operating forward plate compactor, designed for efficient compaction of asphalt and soil. It is ideal for repair jobs and maintenance work, such as driveways and parking lots. The large water tank features an oversized cap to enable less frequent and faster refills. It is easy to clean, leaves no marks on the pavement and uses whatever water is available on-site.

Features

• Specially designed for asphalt work, ensuring it will not get stuck on hot asphalt or leave turning marks
• Efficient, patented low-vibration handle lowers the vibration levels below 2 m/s²
• Work for hours without becoming fatigued or exceeding any regulatory threshold limit values
• Large corrosion-free water tank and smart water distribution system enable you to work longer with less stops for re-filling
• Watering system prevents the bottom plate from sticking to the hot asphalt
• Uses only a minimum of water thanks to the easily adjustable water flow
• Factory prepared for mounting a block paving kit to protect paving blocks from cracking

Specifications

What our Experts Think

• Serious slurry & liquid management
  Built for demanding concrete jobsites where typical wet vacs fail — this model handles concrete slurry, oils, coolants and heavy liquids without clogs or motor damage.

• Dual action suction + pumping
  You can vacuum and discharge at the same time, pumping slurry up to ~30 ft vertically or long distances horizontally, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.

• Engineered for durability
  Stainless‑steel tank and strainer, crush‑proof hose, cast swivel hose lock and rugged frame deliver long service life on tough sites.

• Reliable wet shutdown & protection
  The patented filter/float system reliably shuts off before overfill, protecting the motor and maintaining strong airflow.

• Easy cleanup & transport
  Large bottom valve for quick emptying, plus non‑marking, puncture‑free wheels with locks, make moving and maintaining this unit easy between tasks.

• Versatile professional tool
  Recommended for use with core drills, saws and grinders where slurry volume is high and fast cleanup matters for productivity and safety

Maintenance Tips

• Check and top up engine oil and fuel before each use; change oil per schedule in the operator manual.

• Clean air filter and engine cooling fins regularly to maintain power and reduce wear.

• Inspect and tighten all bolts, guards, and mounts before operation to prevent loosening on the job.

• Empty any debris and water residue from the plate, water tank, and machine body after each use to avoid buildup.

• Check water tank and watering system for clogs; keep water flow working to prevent plate sticking on hot asphalt.

• Inspect the base plate for wear or damage; replace if surface or edges are compromised.

• Monitor drive belt condition (if equipped) and adjust or replace when worn.

• Replace spark plug per service intervals for easy starts and consistent operation.

• Lubricate pivot and moving parts as recommended in the manual.

• Store in a dry, sheltered area and follow scheduled service checks for longevity.
