Blue Diamond Post Drivers

A hydraulic post driver uses your skid steer or excavator's hydraulic system to power a reciprocating hammer mechanism. The driver delivers rapid, repeated blows that force posts into the ground without pre-drilling, making installation faster than manual methods.

Blue Diamond Post Drivers can install wood posts, T-posts, steel pipe posts, guardrail posts, and signposts. Post compatibility depends on the driver model and cap size. Interchangeable caps allow operators to switch between post types for different project requirements.

Post drivers offer advantages over augers for certain applications. Driven posts create tighter soil contact for improved stability without backfilling. Augers work better in rocky soil where driving is difficult. Many contractors use both attachments depending on ground conditions and post specifications.

Yes, hydraulic post drivers generate significant impact force to penetrate hard and compacted soils. Blue Diamond Post Drivers perform well in challenging ground conditions where manual driving would be impractical. Extremely rocky terrain may require pilot holes for best results.

Production rates vary based on soil conditions, post length, and operator experience. Under normal conditions, a hydraulic post driver can install 30 to 60 posts per hour compared to just a few posts per hour using manual methods, dramatically increasing fencing productivity.
