Vibrating Post Driver KPD1 + KPD217

The KPD1 is a high-performance vibrating post-driver, built to drive posts in the most demanding ground conditions. The specialist technology used ensures that the post driver can install posts exceedingly rapidly, while minimising stresses caused to the post. The KPD1 is particularly useful when working in conditions where access to the working area is limited, due to the long reach capabilities that it provides.

It can be used for the installation of:

  • Bank stabilisation systems in rivers
  • Vineyard stakes
  • Farm fencing
  • Post-and-rail fencing
  • Wooden, plastic and steel shoring systems
  • Jetty support posts
KPD217 for excavators 1.5 to 3-ton.
KPD1 for excavators 2.5 to 8-ton.
KPD1 for excavators above 8-ton and will require a flow control valve.

 

As the KPD1 has no exposed moving parts, and the risk of a post shattering is negligible, it is exceedingly safe to operate. In fact, the low weight and compact dimensions of the unit ensure that it does not impact carrier stability, even at full reach, while also easing transport.

Product Features

Post Driver Key Feature 1The interchangeable post cup/hat (custom options available) allows the post driver to drive a variety of posts, stakes, sheet piles and other uprights accurately

Post Driver Key Feature 2Specialist vibration transfer technology transmits vibrations from the unit through the post and into the ground – stones and other obstacles are simply vibrated out of the way

Post Driver Key Feature 3The eccentric weight runs in heavy-duty spherical roller bearings mounted within a sealed, oil-filled vibrator housing, removing the need for routine bearing maintenance, while maximising bearing life

Post Driver Key Feature 4The vibrator unit is separated from the hitch unit on easily-replaceable rubber mountings, ensuring that vibration is not transmitted into the host machine

Post Driver Key Feature 5The rear-mounted hitch maximises the reach of the carrier machine, allowing even the tallest posts to be handled with ease

Post Driver Key Feature 6All moving parts are enclosed within a heavy-duty steel housing, minimising safety concerns

Post Driver Key Feature 7The hydraulic drive is optimised in order to reduce flow requirements, minimising demands on the carrier machine

Post Driver Key Feature 8Hydraulic hoses are protected from scuff wear by heavy-duty spiral wrap
