Klou Vibrating Post Driver

The Klou KPD Vibrating Post Driver is a high performance machinery attachment designed to ram posts into the ground quickly and easily without the need to dig holes. Engineered for demanding site conditions, it delivers a high impact driving force capable of penetrating compacted or rocky ground conditions.

As the KPD1 and KPD217 have no exposed moving parts, the risk of a post shattering is negligible. This ensures that posts can be installed quickly while minimising stress on the post.

Powered by advanced hydraulic orbital vibration technology, the KPD ensures fast, reliable, and repeatable performance across diverse ground conditions. Its compact yet robust construction, extended reach, and multi-angle operating capability make it ideal for tight access areas. The low weight and compact dimensions of the units ensure that they do not impact carrier stability, even at full reach. Compatible with a range of machinery, the KPD offers exceptional versatility and efficiency for fencing, construction, agriculture, and civil works.

Perfect for Installing:

  • Riverbank stabilisation systems
  • Grapevine stakes
  • Agricultural fencing
  • Post-and-rail fencing
  • Wooden shoring systems

Klou top-quality attachments are manufactured in Dorset, UK

Post Driver Blueprint

*If it is not possible to adjust the output flow on the carrier machine, a flow-control valve can be installed to permit the post driver to run on machines providing greater flow

**Case drain required only if pressure-free return line is not available
