Striker 295

Post Driver

Key Features

• All-in one machine suitable for both telehandler and tractor
• Tilt, lean and telescopic side-shift
• Impact-protected, large, heavy-duty post cap

The CERES Striker 295 Post Driver is an extremely capable and precise post knocker, as the TT tractor and telehandler model, or as the DG digger model to suit machines from 5 - 13 tons. With its extremely effective 295 kg free-falling hammer, operated by the unique three-pulley system, which allows superior hammer acceleration while simultaneously keeping a balanced and even load on the extending mast. The marine double braid 22 mm rope, combined with the lightweight pulleys with central bearings, maximises the kinetic energy from the rope, for rapid weight acceleration, allowing the hammer's momentum to increase the upstroke for a greater chance of reaching terminal velocity on its free-fall to the post cap. The post cap is made from a heavy gauge S355 steel to allow strength with a small amount of flex, thus reducing the chance of fractures and shattering. The cap is protected by three replaceable nylon strips, allowing the hammer momentum to be passed through the cap, compared to rubber which absorbs much of the force. The extending mast gives the hammer ample space above the post cap, even when the post cap is fully raised, with other benefits being a lower centre of gravity and reduced height for transport, as well as giving the operator greater control over the power. All of the above advantages give the Striker 295 the ability to drive posts through hardcore and tree roots with ease, in many cases without the need for a rock spike, saving time and reducing costs, making this the ideal machine for construction, farmers, forestry, maintenance teams, contractors and more.

Striker 295.TT: Tractor and Telehandler

The TT, to suit both tractor and telehandler, offers the option of the low ground pressure and quick and easy transport for tractor use or the versatility of telehandler operation, with the ability to reach into and over ditches, on top of banks, awkward corners and around obstacles, and with the telehandler's lift height, combined with the option of remote operation, which enables driving in of large poles or steels, e.g. pole barns, piles or windbreaks. The TT is also suitable for use with a loading shovel.

This model comes as standard with hydraulic 500 mm side-shift, tilt (30° towards and 45° away from the post), lean (towards and away from the operator) and double-acting mast control, all easily operated from the four spool levers on the operator's control panel. It also comes with a manually adjustable main mast leg, Category 2 3-point linkage (front or rear) tractor mounting, a choice of bracketry to suit most telehandlers and a removable prop stand for easy detachment.

Further options include:

• 200 kg counter-weight
• Hydraulic rock spike
• Hydraulic main mast leg
• PTO or hydraulic compressor and receiver
• Toolbox
• 50 mm towing ball
• Remote-operated hammer

Striker 295.DG: Digger

The DG is designed for use with both 360° and 180° diggers, from 5 - 13 tons, giving you the ability to get into the most challenging areas and environments, and providing the operator with far greater power and accuracy than attempting to unsafely push or hammer posts in with a bucket. The Striker is a cost-effective way to take advantage of the precision and manoeuvrability of your machine, to achieve a professional and high quality finish.

This model comes as standard with hydraulic 35° tilt in both directions and double-acting mast control, easily operated from the two spool levers on the operator's control panel. It also comes with a manually adjustable main mast leg and top hat bracket, from 35 - 60 mm pins, to suit your digger.

Further options include:

• Hydraulic rock spike
• Remote-operated hammer
