What’s the Process Behind the Product?
For over 45 years, Kinghitter has been world leaders in the design and manufacture of hydraulic
post drivers. Ever since the first Kinghitter rolled off the production line in 1977, they have been
recognised for their legendary reliability, usability and cutting-edge design, paving the way for
generations of fencers.
Kinghitter is a brand of Farmgear Ltd, and is 100% New Zealand made.
This brings a guarantee that you will receive a product that will last a
lifetime while making fencing safer, faster, and easier than ever
before. Kinghitter is distributed in Australia by Farmgear Australia Pty
Ltd, and sold through authorised dealers. This assures all Kinghitter
owners that they will have local service and service support
throughout the life of their machine.
