The Rhino PD-55 Channel Post Driver Kit is a specialized package built around the proven PD-55 pneumatic post driver and tailored specifically for driving U-channel and C-channel steel posts.
Design: The core driver features
- Medium-duty construction: ~42 CFM air consumption at 90 psi, weight approximately 54.6 lb.
- A 3-7/8 (98.4 mm) internal diameter master chuck standard, with bolt-on adapters available for channel posts.
- Ductile iron body, alloy steel piston and double-valve design for long life and durability.
- The kit is optimized for channel post use: the manual lists 1.2 to 1.5 lbs/ft channel posts, 2 to 2.75 lbs/ft channel posts, 3 to 4 lbs/ft channel posts among the compatible posts.
Visually and functionally, the kit is designed to suit professional installers who frequently drive channel-style posts (such as signposts, roadside delineators, U-channel fencing or guardrail systems). The channel-post specific adapter ensures a tight fit and safer driving of those non-round, open-section posts.
Applications: This kit is particularly suited to situations where channel-section (U- or C-shaped) steel posts are used.
- Driving U-channel posts (e.g., 1.2-1.5 lb/ft, 2-2.75 lb/ft, 3-4 lb/ft) into the ground for fencing, guardrail systems, signage, delineators.
- Installing roadside safety delineators, traffic-control posts, break-away anchor systems where channel posts are specified.
- Jobs where the installer already has the PD-55 driver and needs the correct adapter or kit for channel post use.
- Rental fleets, contracting firms or municipalities requiring a reliable channel-post driving solution with professional grade tool and accessories.
