What is a Post Driver?
A post driver is a remarkable piece of equipment designed to drive posts into the ground quickly and safely and used in construction, landscaping and agricultural projects to install posts, stakes and other uprights in various ground conditions. They can be mounted on excavators, mini-excavators, telescopic handlers and other machines, making them very versatile for many applications.
Whether you’re working on a fencing project, setting up trellises, or installing temporary structures, a post driver can significantly streamline the process. By automating the task of driving posts, these machines not only save time but also reduce the physical strain on workers, enhancing overall productivity and safety on the job site.

EXCEPTIONAL POST DRIVER DESIGN
Not a one trick pony: Our post drivers aren’t just for one type of post. They can handle wood, metal and concrete posts. Perfect for residential fencing to significant commercial developments. And they are built to be rugged and reliable in even the most demanding situations.
Faster: Time is money in construction. A post driver for your excavator can get you up to 5 times faster at installing posts than traditional methods. That’s money in your pocket.
More Precise: Manual post driving is prone to human error. A RAW post knocker gives you pinpoint accuracy. That means your posts are aligned and driven to the exact depth required for stronger, neater installations.
Less Labour: By automating the post driving process, you can reduce the number of people on site. That means lower labour costs and less risk of injury from manual post driving.
Fits Tough Terrain: Whether you’re on rocky ground or in tight spaces, a post driver can handle it. Its hydraulic system can drive posts into the most challenging ground, making it perfect for jobs in different terrains.
Safer: Safety should always be number one on a construction site. Post knockers reduce the risk of injury from manual post driving, such as back strain or hammer swing accidents.
Consistent Results: Human fatigue can lead to inconsistent post driving over a long day. Our drivers maintain the same force and precision from the first post to the last, so you get uniform quality across your whole job.
Cost Effective in the Long Run: While the initial cost of a post driver may seem high, the time, labour and quality savings will pay for itself in the long run for construction businesses of all sizes.
Green Option: Traditional post driving methods often require gas-powered equipment. A post knocker runs off the excavator’s hydraulic system so that’s less emissions and a smaller carbon footprint for your jobs.
More Jobs: With the speed and ability of an excavator post driver, you can take on bigger jobs or finish existing ones faster. That means more work for your business and more complex construction projects.
Benefits and Applications
More Productivity
One of the most significant advantages of using a post driver is more productivity. With the ability to knock posts in quick time and effortlessly, operators can complete the job in a fraction of the time it would take with traditional methods.
Our post driver’s weight transfer system allows for maximum energy transfer so that you can drive posts in with ease, even in harsh soil conditions. Add to that the one-person short mast design, and you can work independently, reduce labour costs and increase overall productivity.
For Existing Projects
Power and Accuracy
The post driver can position held posts with ease, even in tough soil, so it’s a must-have attachment for industries like construction, landscaping, and agriculture. Its increased productivity, versatility, and ease of use make it an ideal choice for operators looking to streamline their workflow and improve efficiency.
The excavator driver is more than just an attachment; it’s a revolution in construction efficiency. By incorporating this powerful tool into your operations, you’ll not only save time and money but also elevate the quality and precision of your work.
As the construction industry continues to evolve, staying ahead of the curve with innovative equipment is essential for success. Don’t let your projects fall behind – embrace the future of post driving technology and watch your productivity soar.
