Reducer Sleeves for Different Picket Sizes
One of the reasons the Crommelins units are so popular with contractors and hire businesses is the range of reducer sleeves available. A single driver can cover a wide range of picket and stake sizes by swapping the sleeve, so you’re not buying or hiring a different machine for every job.
Reducer sleeves are available for:
- Standard star (Y) pickets from 1″ up to 3 1/4″
- Smaller timber stakes and pegs
- Various post diameters and shapes
Talk to your local dealer about the exact combination of sleeves needed for your work. If you’re running mixed fencing jobs, a couple of sleeves turn one machine into a complete kit.
Optional Accessories
The Crommelins range is designed so operators can tailor the machine to the job. Optional accessories available through our dealer network include:
- Extension handle kit. For driving longer pickets and posts without bending or strain. It includes a secondary throttle so you can operate the driver at higher positions, and it doubles as a depth gauge. Suits SPX52HP, and SPX82HP models.
- Multi-function handle kit. For Ease of transport and servicing
- Storage cradle and storage case. Proper storage extends the life of the machine and keeps things tidy on the trailer or in the shed.
These accessories are a practical way to get more out of the same unit and are stocked through the Crommelins dealer network.
Who Uses a Star Picket Driver
Star picket drivers are used across a wide range of industries and applications:
- Fencing contractors. Rural, industrial, security, and construction site fencing. A star picket driver typically doubles a contractor’s daily picket count and reduces fatigue over long runs.
- Agricultural operators. Property owners, farmers, and graziers running boundary fencing, yards, electric fencing, and temporary fences across large properties.
- Civil and construction. Site fencing, concrete pegs, survey markers, and temporary works.
- Hire and rental businesses. Crommelins drivers are a popular hire unit, tough enough for the hire market and easy to service.
- Landscaping and vineyards. Trellis posts, stakes for young trees, and other light post-driving work.
Feedback from customers who have purchased a Crommelins driver is consistent across these groups. Fencing productivity roughly doubles, hard-ground jobs stop being a back-breaking exercise, and operators finish the day in much better shape. A happy side effect is that jobs which previously needed two people can often be handled by one.
