Husqvarna LT 6005 Gas-Powered Rammer - 967854504
LT 6005 is a well-balanced and powerful rammer, developed for efficient compaction of granular and cohesive soils such as clay and silt. Ideal for compaction in trenches or other narrow spaces, for example around pillars and pipes. Equipped with the latest Honda GXR120 engine, which is especially designed for rammers. The rammer offers superb control, low noise and low emissions.
Features
- Efficient compaction thanks to a powerful Honda engine mounted in a compact, durable chassis delivering high speed and high impact force
- Single lifting point and rollers on the steering bow make on-site handling easy (transport wheel kit available as an accessory)
- Three-position throttle control (idle, full speed, stop/closed) also closes the fuel line to prevent leakage
- Balanced design provides excellent traction and maneuverability
- Easy access to all service points including oil level checking (engine and foot), air filter cleaning/replacing
- Equipped with hour meter, air filter indicator and oil warning indicator

What our Experts Think
-
Powerful & Purpose‑Built Compaction
Petrol‑driven rammer with a Honda GXR120 engine delivers strong impact force for efficient compaction of granular and cohesive soils (clay, silt) — perfect for trench backfill, around pipes and foundations where deep compaction counts.
-
Balanced, Manoeuvrable Design
Lightweight and well‑balanced chassis improves traction and control in confined spaces and narrow jobsite areas, making it easier to reach tight spots without sacrificing performance.
-
Operator‑Friendly Controls & Serviceability
Three‑position throttle control (idle/full/stop), single lifting point and accessible service points make the machine easier to operate and maintain — reducing downtime and boosting productivity.
-
Comfort & Handling Features
Roller‑assist steering bow and optional transport wheel accessory simplify movement on site, while vibration and noise levels are tuned for typical rammer use.
-
Durable for Pro Workflows
Built for daily contractor use and rental fleets, it combines rugged build with proven Honda reliability — supporting strong search relevance in compaction equipment categories.
-
Great Fit for Trench & Spot Compaction
The 9 in plate width and ~714 blows/min performance strike a balance of precision and force, ideal for deep compaction in trenches, utility zones and repair work.

Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after each use – Remove dirt, dust, and debris from the body and rammer shoe before storage to prevent buildup and corrosion.
-
Check and maintain fluids – Verify engine oil and fuel levels before each use; change the oil and rammer‑leg oil per scheduled intervals (after first 20 h and then regularly).
-
Inspect air filter & spark plug – Clean or replace the air filter frequently in dusty conditions; check and clean the spark plug for reliable starts.
-
Tighten fasteners & controls – Ensure all nuts, bolts, throttle and choke controls are secure and moving smoothly before operation.
-
Monitor vibration parts – Check vibration dampers and rammer shoe wear regularly; replace worn components to maintain performance.
-
Safe storage – Store the rammer in a dry, protected location with fuel system secured; wipe spilled fuel and prevent moisture exposure.
