Punch added to postdriver

Written by 

Fairbrother Industries has introduced a new rock spike attachment for the Kinghitter series of postdrivers. 

With a novel feature that moves the attachment into work hydraulically, this makes for safe and easy use and increases the versatility of these robust machines. 

With spikes available from 65mm diameter, the new rock spike attachment is available on new units or as a retro-fit item for all previous machines, with the addition of a hydraulic control valve. 

Fairbrother facts 

  • Jim Fairbrother invented the world’s first hydraulic post driver in 1997
  • All units are designed and manufactured in NZ
  • 32 years at current Beachhaven factory
  • Exported throughout the world.
