Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
What is the Post Rammer?
Our post rammer is a compact, petrol-driven impact tool designed to seat and compact posts quickly and efficiently. Built for single-operator use, it delivers powerful vertical blows to drive timber, steel and concrete posts into firm or mixed ground without the need for heavy machinery. This unit is available for hire now from our Breckland depot.
What jobs it’s suited for
- Fixing fence posts and gate posts on agricultural, domestic and site fencing
- Installing temporary site posts, signage and crowd-control barriers
- Light landscaping tasks where posts need rapid, secure seating
- Working in restricted or confined sites where larger plant cannot access
Key features & specifications
- Petrol-powered single-operator rammer — easy to transport and start
- Robust striking foot designed for repeated impact against timber, steel and concrete
- Lightweight chassis and ergonomic handle for better control on uneven ground
- Quick attachment changes and replaceable wear parts to keep downtime low
Why hire this Post Rammer rather than buy?
Most trade and self-build jobs only need a post rammer for a short period. Hiring from Breckland Plant Hire gets you a well-maintained, fully checked machine without the capital outlay, storage or maintenance headaches. You get a machine suited to the task for as long as you need it — whether a single day or a week — and our team will advise on the right hire length. If you need further heavy-impact tools for groundwork, take a look at our related Post Rammer listings for alternatives and accessories.
Operator & safety notes
- Only trained operators should use the rammer; read the supplied safety guidance before use.
- Always wear ear protection, eye protection, gloves and steel-toe boots.
- Check for buried services before starting work — use a cable avoidance tool where required.
- Keep bystanders clear during operation and secure the work area on public sites.
