The Husqvarna PG 8 P is a powerhouse in the world of large-scale, professional floor grinding—a propane-powered planetary floor grinder that redefines productivity, versatility, and mobility for contractors and flooring specialists. Engineered for outdoor and indoor jobsites where access to high-voltage electricity is limited or non-existent, the PG 8 P offers exceptional grinding performance, robust dust/slurry management, and an easy-to-operate design that keeps crews moving on schedule while delivering mirror-smooth, flat concrete surfaces.

Product Overview: Husqvarna PG 8 P

The PG 8 P is Husqvarna’s largest and most powerful planetary floor grinder, with a heavy-duty gear-driven planetary head and robust frame, designed to tackle major commercial, industrial, and municipal projects. What truly sets the PG 8 P apart is its propane-powered engine, which eliminates the hassle of locating or running high-voltage power—and its integrated water tank, which supports wet grinding out-of-the-box for fast, dust-free operation on even the most demanding slabs.

Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

• Propane-Powered Mobility: Designed for jobsites without 3-phase power, the PG 8 P’s commercial propane engine ensures consistent runtime, easy refueling, and no generator dependency. The fuel system is engineered to minimize freezing risks with liquid withdrawal propane, supporting year-round productivity.

• Integrated Water Tank for Wet Grinding: Supports instant wet application with no external hoses needed—keeping slurry managed, reducing airborne dust, and allowing longer run time between clean-outs or tank refills.

• Sealed, Durable Construction: All vital components are protected against dust and water, maximizing uptime and extending life even in abrasive slurry or harsh outdoor conditions. Maintenance is minimized for greater rental and commercial use reliability.

• Adjustable Weights & Grinding Pressure: The included weighted system enables operators to tailor the grinding downforce—choose aggressive removal for coatings or light pressure for polishing without extra tools or downtime.

• Industry-Leading Flatness: The gear-driven planetary head ensures the smoothest, flattest results possible for everything from prep to high-gloss polishing on large surfaces. The PG 8 P outperforms most electric grinders in both speed and finish quality.

• Flexible Dust and Slurry Management: Easily connect a Husqvarna cordless dust extractor for dry applications or a Husqvarna slurry vacuum for wet grinding—ensuring a clean jobsite and compliance with OSHA silica standards.

• Tool-Free Diamond Changes: Husqvarna’s Redi Lock® system lets users swap out tooling in seconds with no special tools, dramatically decreasing changeover time between grits or processes, and keeping productivity high all day.

Best-In-Class Applications

• Concrete surface prep and coating removal on parking decks, warehouse slabs, schools, and airport terminals

• High-gloss polishing for retail venues, public spaces, and large institutional floors

• Wet grinding for terrazzo, marble, and decorative concrete where dust and contamination control is critical

• Slot grinding and slab flattening for highway, industrial, and municipal work—where electric supply is impractical

The 32-inch working width with aggressive grinding speed lets crews cover thousands of sq. ft. per shift, outpacing conventional grinders on volume and surface quality.

Durability & Low Maintenance Design

• 5-Way Sealing Mechanism: The grinding head and key moving parts are protected by multiple seals for long service intervals, slashing unplanned downtime and extending the machine’s operational life.

• Heavy-Duty Chassis and Cover: The mix of a robust steel frame and single-piece aluminum covers ensures years of reliable use—resisting damage and simplifying field repairs.

• Adjustable Handles: The operator can easily set the ergonomics for their comfort, keeping productivity and quality high from start to finish.

User & Fleet Manager Advantages

• No Power Planning Required: Propane operation removes electrical limitations and is ideal for sites where cords or generators present logistical or safety headaches.

• Rapid Cleanup & Tool Change: The Redi Lock® tool management and integrated water system minimize the time lost to maintenance, cleaning, or task switching.

• Multi-Process Ready: Suitable for dry or wet grinding, polishing, coating removal, and even light bush-hammering or surface texturing, maximizing equipment ROI.

• Rental-Friendly: The PG 8 P’s simple upkeep, sealed systems, and rugged build make it a star performer in equipment rental fleets—ready for daily abuse and fast rental turnaround.

Why Choose the Husqvarna PG 8 P

• Unmatched Mobility and Power: Take high-productivity grinding to places electric machines can’t reach. Perfect for outdoor, new build, and remote slab projects.
