Post Drivers | Series 2i 450
The Kinghitter Series 2i 450 post driver is an extremely capable machine that makes rural fencing much faster, safer and easier. It’s fitted with a 4.5m mast, which allows for increased hammer speed and driving force, while also being capable of installing posts up to 12ft in length.
The incorporated hydraulic hinge allows the mast to hinge down within seconds to reduce its overall height for storage and transport. The Series 2i 450 also boasts best-in-class angle tilts of 25° in all directions.
The Series 2i 450 is compatible with the entire range of Kinghitter Base combinations and Accessory options to ensure you get a post driver package that works for all of your fencing requirements and suits your preferences.
The operator can stay in control 100% of the time, with Hammer Lift/Lower, Toplink, Angle Tilt, Mast Hinge and Base adjustments all at fingertip control, using Kinghitter’s ergonomic valve bank positioning system.
Fitted with Kinghitter’s Safety Post Cap, the operator has completely safe directional control of every post. Standard with the Active Safety System, this protects the operator from the strike zone of the hammer along its entire stroke to the ground. It also secures each post in an upright position while driving, allowing the operator to steer the post using the post driver controls positioned behind the safety gate.

Why The Cable System? | Feature Highlight
The Series 2i rigid post driver uses Kinghitter’s proven rope & pulley lift system, delivering a true 6:1 lift ratio—every 100 mm of ram stroke lifts the hammer 600 mm. This system creates a faster post rammer hammer cycle, a longer free-fall stroke, and powerful driving force for tall, hard-set posts. The lift ram on the post banger is fully isolated from shock and vibration, reducing heat, minimising seal wear, and extending long-term reliability.
Kinghitter’s next-generation hydraulic lift ram and cable system also improves overall machine efficiency. The double-acting hydraulic lift ram design reduces oil temperature and lowers strain on your tractor pump, keeping your hydraulic system running cooler and more efficiently. Cable life is maximised through high-grade wire rope, modern pulley geometry, and reduced cable whip.

Postcap Post Steering | Feature Highlight
Get an easier, safer post installation system with Kinghitter post drivers. Our unique post cap system provides precise post steering control, allowing you to position and drive posts with minimal manual effort — and no more podgy bars.
- Steer posts securely with the post cap.
- Adapt to timber, steel, and concrete posts with interchangeable caps.
- Reduce operator fatigue and boost efficiency.
You’ll also see the impact zone guard for safer post driving and the bolt-on shroud system for different post shapes.
As the post is driven into the ground, the top gets lower and the impact zone moves. Kinghitter’s guard mounts to the Safety Postcap and travels with the strike zone, protecting the operator over the hammer’s full stroke.

Drive Posts To Ground Level | Feature Highlight
In this video, we break down the Kinghitter post driver's ability to drive posts right down to ground level. This makes them ideal for stay posts and tie-backs, and allows you to ram a post deeper into the ground for increased stability. It also means you don’t have to cut off excess post material, reducing waste and saving money on every job.
We also hear from a fencing contractor who shares why this is one of his favourite features of his Kinghitter machine, especially when working in demanding ground conditions where accuracy and efficiency matter.

Interchangeable Hydraulics | Feature Highlight
The Series 2i rigid post driver uses Kinghitter’s ‘interchangeable’ hydraulics system. This optimises performance by recycling hydraulic oil internally during the hammer drop, instead of sending it back to the tractor via a high-flow dump line. Benefits of this system include:
- No High-flow Dump/Case Drain required- Two ½” quick couplers allow quick & easy fitment to any Tractor, Skid steer etc.
- Operates at Optimum Hydraulic efficiency:
- Requires less Hydraulic Oil.
- Reduces Heat Build Up
- Removes restriction – friction that a hydraulic ram usually creates during the hammer drop is removed, allowing faster fall
