PG 8 XR HUSQVARNA FLOOR GRINDER

Applications

• Four grinding discs and total grinding width of 31.5" and powerful 20.1 horsepower motor.
• Performs all types of applications such as concrete grinding, coatings removal, concrete repair and polishing.
  

Features & Benefits

• EFFECTIVE, UNCOMPLICATED, AND ECONOMICAL - Four-disc technology involves two pairs of grinding discs rotating in opposite directions for a well-balanced, highly efficient machine. Adjusting the rpms is easy thanks to a single control knob. Because there are more grinding discs and diamonds working the substrate, this technology provides faster refinement and better tooling economy.
• HIGHER REMOVAL RATE WITH MIST COOLER SYSTEM - The mist cooler system sprays a fine mist on the floor, which cools the diamond tools. This makes it possible to achieve a better cut, reduces the risk of glazing the tools, and significantly increases productivity.
• ENHANCE REMOTE-CONTROL UNIT - The unit delivers an improved driving experience, thanks to the joystick controls' fast and precise response. The large anti-glare screen provides real-time information including power consumption, incoming current and motor rpms.
• SEALED TO LAST - Sealed grinding head with 1,000 hours service interval. This prevents dust or water to intrude and damage components.
  
• PROTECTED ELECTRONICS - Dust sealed electrical cabinet with external cooling technology. This prevents dust to intrude and damage components.
• ALWAYS A CHARGED BATTERY - An onboard charger ensures you'll always have a charged battery at hand, and that you'll never leave the charger at the worksite by mistake.
• ERGONOMIC AND INTEGRATED TRANSPORT WHEEL - A foldable transport wheel mounted on the chassis saves time and reduces physical strain when transporting the machine.
• IMPROVED DUST PICK-UP - The robust steel floating shroud follows the floor surface for optimal dust pick-up - no adjustments needed.
• OSCILLATION FUNCTION FOR FLATTER FLOORS - Replication of manual grinding movements (oscillation), optimizes the grinding pattern by adjusting amplitude and frequency. Gives a flatter floor by eliminating so-called ridges otherwise created between passes. At the same time, the oscillation function saves time for the operator, as you only have to go over the floor once with the machine, instead of using the cross-hatch technique.
• EFFORTLESS TRANSPORTATION - The integrated battery pack makes it easy to transport the machine to and from the work site.
• ERGONOMIC HANDLE - Adjustable handle for better ergonomics.
• TIME SAVING TOOL CHANGE - EZchange is an instant and hassle-free system for changing diamond tooling.
• ADJUSTABLE GRINDING PRESSURE - The integrated weights allow you to adjust the grinding pressure into different preset positions. They also make it easier to tilt the machine.
• MAGNETIC LED LIGHTS - The optional light kit substantially improves visibility of the floor while you grind. Thanks to magnetic attachments, they are easy to position and adjust.
• FLEET READY - Husqvarna Fleet Services is a digital, cloud-based asset management service that gathers and presents key machine date. Machine sensors are either embedded or retrofitted to the exterior of the machine.
• QUICK RELEASE OF TOOL HOLDERS - Tool holder plates are easily removed without the need of special tooling.
• EZCHANGE AIRFLOW TOOL HOLDERS - The EZChange tool holder with Airflow technology creates an increased and controlled airflow around the tools. This cools the tools and directs dust towards the extractor.

The Husqvarna PG 8 XR Floor Grinder is the next-generation powerhouse for professional concrete surface preparation, grinding, and polishing. Leveraging cutting-edge four-disc planetary technology, remote control operation, and a range of user-focused advancements, the PG 8 XR is engineered to deliver world-class productivity, reliability, and flatness on commercial and industrial slabs. For flooring contractors, rental operations, and surface prep teams, the PG 8 XR stands out as the machine of choice for versatility, speed, and superior finish quality.

Husqvarna PG 8 XR: Key Features and Design Advantages

1. Four-Disc Planetary Technology: The PG 8 XR utilizes two pairs of 10.6-inch grinding discs, each rotating in opposite directions for optimum balance, vibration control, and grinding efficiency. This unique configuration delivers faster refinement, better surface flatness, and increased tooling life when compared to traditional three-head designs.

2. Remote-Control Operation: Precision joystick controls and an oversized, anti-glare screen enable operators to steer, monitor motor RPMs, power consumption, and other vital parameters in real time. This results in reduced operator fatigue and immaculate, repeatable results, even on large or multi-shift jobs.

3. Massive 20.1 HP, 3-Phase Power: The industrial-grade motor delivers outstanding torque for aggressive grinding, rapid coatings removal, or high-gloss polishing with minimal stalling—even under heavy load.

4. Mist Cooler System: A fine mist is sprayed directly onto the diamond tooling, improving cutting action, lowering the risk of glazing, and dramatically increasing removal rates for coatings and concrete alike.

5. Sealed for Longevity: The grinding head is hermetically sealed, and the dust-tight electronics cabinet with external cooling enhances reliability and reduces maintenance, providing up to 1,000 hours between major services.

6. EZchange Airflow Tool Holders: Fast, tool-free changes and Airflow technology keep diamond tools cool, direct dust toward the extractor, and maximize the life of both machine and tooling.

7. Oscillation Function: By varying amplitude and frequency, the PG 8 XR optimizes the grinding pattern to eliminate ridges, minimize cross-hatch grinding, and deliver exceptionally flat floors with minimal passes.

8. Fleet Management Ready: Husqvarna Fleet Services gives contractors and rental houses cloud-based access to machine location, hours, service alerts, and operational stats to streamline scheduling and management.

Technical Specifications

Productivity & Application Versatility

The PG 8 XR is engineered for:

• Heavy surface prep and leveling on new or old concrete

• Rapid removal of coatings, glues, epoxies, and adhesives

• High-gloss polishing for decorative or industrial slabs

• Stone refinishing where tight flatness tolerances are required

• Large warehouse, retail, and parking deck jobs

With its oscillation function and four-disc system, the PG 8 XR covers more area more efficiently than traditional three-head grinders—minimizing passes and boosting jobsite profitability.

Safety, Ergonomics, and Operator Experience

• Dust-Tight, Sealed Components: Keep sensitive electronics safe from fine dust, slurry, and accidental splash—boosting machine lifespan and reducing breakdowns.

• Floating Steel Shroud: Automatically tracks floor contours, maximizing dust pickup and ensuring a cleaner, safer working environment.

• Adjustable Integrated Weights: Change grinding head pressure in seconds—aggressive grinding for coatings removal or light pressure for polishing, all without tools.

• Magnetic LED Lights: Position and adjust lights with ease, maintaining clear visibility of the grinding path in any jobsite setting.

End-User Reviews and Value

Early user feedback notes significantly faster floor prep on commercial jobs, effortless maneuvering compared to push-driven units, and a visible improvement in finished flatness and gloss. Maintenance intervals and downtime have been meaningfully reduced, which is especially important for rental operations and high-use fleets. The intuitive remote-control interface is highlighted as a major time-saver and safety enhancer.
