Vibrating Post Drivers

How a Vibrating Post Driver Works

A vibrating post driver uses rapid, repeated strikes to push a fence post into the ground without the brute impact of a drop hammer. The operator controls the striking frequency, which allows the post to be driven gradually and accurately into position. Rabaud’s vibrating post drivers include a safety system where the hammer only activates when the post is held correctly under the head, and the whole process can be controlled from the cab of the carrier machine using electro-hydraulic controls.

Vibrating Post Drivers for Diggers, Tractors and More

One of the advantages of the Rabaud range is the variety of carrier options. There are vibrating post driver models designed to mount on excavators and diggers, making them a natural fit for fencing contractors who already have a digger on site. Tractor-mounted versions are also available, including configurations that sit between the wheels or on the three-point linkage. For more specialist applications like vineyard fencing, there are dedicated models with hydraulic rotation for precise post placement in tight rows.

Practical Features That Make a Difference on Site

Rabaud vibrating post drivers feature telescopic masts that keep the machine compact for transport and then extend for full working height on site. Side shift and tilting allow the operator to position the post accurately without having to reposition the carrier, which saves time when working along a fence line or close to existing vegetation. For fence renovation work, the ability to shift the hammer sideways means you can drive new posts without disturbing what is already in place.
