Excavator Attachments for Hire

Pile Driver for Hire – Excavator Mounted (10T-13T)

Driving steel piles or heavy posts for a civil, retaining or horticultural job? The Allways Hire Fence Pro pile driver is an excavator-mounted attachment that suits 10T to 13T diggers and delivers the energy needed to drive piles and posts deep into firm ground. With a 5-metre mast and a 500kg block, it handles work that a standard post driver cannot, from retaining-wall piles to shelter belts and civil foundation piles.

The driver fits a 10T or 13T hitch plate for quick attachment, runs off one hydraulic circuit with a 12V or 24V electrical supply, and is operated from the cab using a control box with a diverter valve for hammer lift, drop and tilt. On site it is often paired with a 5.5T digger and grapple to manoeuvre and hold each post in place while it is driven, which keeps the job tidy and accurate.

No special licence is required, although the operator should be experienced around a digger of roughly 13T. The pile driver is hire ready from our Hastings and Napier branches, with delivery and pickup available across Hawke’s Bay. Enquire now to book a pile driver that matches your excavator.

FAQs

What size excavator does the pile driver suit?

The Fence Pro pile driver is built for 10T to 13T diggers and fits a 10T or 13T hitch plate. This makes it the heavy option in our range for civil piles, retaining walls and shelter belts. If you only need lighter fence or stock yard posts, our 5.5T post driver will usually suit you better and cost less to run.

How heavy is the block and how tall is the mast?

The pile driver has a 500kg block, known as the monkey, and a 5-metre mast. That combination delivers the large amount of energy needed to drive steel piles and heavy posts into firm ground, which is why it is the go-to excavator pile driver for civil and horticultural piling rather than light fencing.

What does the pile driver need to run?

It runs off one hydraulic circuit with a 12V or 24V electrical supply and needs a 3/8 inch case drain or larger. It is operated from the cab using a control box with a diverter valve for hammer lift, drop and tilt, so the operator stays in the machine. Our team will check your digger is set up correctly when you book.

Do I need a licence to operate the pile driver?

No special licence is required to operate the pile driver itself. The operator should, however, be experienced around a digger of roughly 13T, since the attachment is controlled through a large machine. The pile driver is hire ready from our Hastings and Napier branches.
