Post Rammer for skid steer hire

Post Rammer

A hydraulic post-driving attachment delivers impact to a post through a matching cup or tool. Post size, material and ground conditions determine whether driving is an appropriate method.

When to choose it

  • Installing suitable fence posts
  • Driving posts along approved access routes
  • Repeated post installation where ground conditions allow driving

When it’s not the right call

  • Rock and obstructions. Ground refusal can prevent driving. Pre-drilling or another installation method may be needed.
  • Unsuitable posts. Brittle posts or incorrect driving tools can be damaged by impact.
  • Restricted clearance. Overhead services, working height and stability need to be checked before driving.

Sizes we work with

The size depends on your machine and the job. Share the carrier make and model, material and dimensions so we can check the setup.

Common questions

What is a skid steer post rammer used for?

It drives suitable posts, such as fence posts, using hydraulic impact through a matching cup.

Can a post rammer drive any post?

The cup must suit the post, and the post must be suitable for driving.

What if the ground is rocky?

Dense rock can stop or damage posts; pre-drilling may be needed.

Post rammer or auger for fencing?

Driving suits suitable ground and posts; augering suits footings or ground that won't drive.

Will a post rammer fit my skid steer or track loader?

Send us the machine make and model, mounting plate details and hydraulic flow and pressure. The post rammer's weight, the loader's rated operating capacity and any electrical controls also need to match. We check the combination before it mobilises so it arrives ready to work.
