One of the biggest benefits for landscapers when using a petrol-powered post knocker is the dramatic reduction in labour time. Traditional manual post driving can be exhausting and slow, especially on large fencing projects or hard ground. A Petrol Post Driver, on the other hand, can drive a post into the ground at an average of one post a minute! For landscapers working to tight deadlines, this means faster completion times and more jobs completed per week without compromising on quality.
Manual post driving is not only time-consuming, but also physically demanding. Repetitive hammering can lead to fatigue and even injury over time. However, the powerful and reliable Honda engine of a Petrol Post Driver does the heavy lifting and eliminates the strain. This reduces the risk of injury and helps maintain energy and productivity throughout the day - a key reason why many professionals are switching to petrol power.
From soft soil in gardens to stony ground in rural areas, a Petrol Post Driver handles all these conditions with ease. Its high-impact power ensures consistent performance whether you’re installing wooden fence stakes, metal posts or plastic tree guards.
When you often travel to different job sites and offer a variety of landscaping services, this versatility is essential. A single Petrol Post Driver can handle multiple fencing materials and ground types, making it a smart, versatile investment.
Unlike heavy hydraulic systems and tractor-mounted knockers, a Petrol Post Driver is lightweight and highly portable, meaning it can be easily transported across sites and operated by a single person. This also means that it’s designed to work in tight spaces and on tough, inaccessible land, like the crest of a bank or damp boggy ground, that just simply cannot be reached with a tractor.
With simple start-up controls and an ergonomic design, even new users can quickly get to grips with operating one – one of our customers already has his young sons trained up, it's really that easy to use!
When you’re a professional landscaping contractor, you’re expected to be adaptable for a host of different jobs, so shouldn’t your tools be the same? Whether you’re installing different types, sizes and shapes of fencing, erecting signs and other fixtures, planting trees with stakes or shelter supports, inserting ground anchors for semi-mature trees, or even installing vineyard posts, the Petrol Post Driver has got you covered.

This reliability not only saves time on adjustments, but also enhances your company’s reputation for quality workmanship.
We know that a Petrol Post Driver is a significant upfront investment, but we’re confident that you’ll find that the return is priceless. Reduced labour hours, faster project turnover and less physical wear and tear all contribute to big savings in the long run.
