Fence Equipment
for fencing better, faster, safer
This category includes post drivers and pullers, wire reels and dispensers, concrete drilling and mixing tools, midi-skid driver equipment, and other heavy-duty installation tools and accessories designed for large-scale fencing projects.
Selection depends on post type (steel T-post, wood, or fiberglass), soil conditions, required impact force, and job scale. Larger or denser installations typically benefit from mechanised drivers for efficiency and consistency.
Concrete drilling and mixing tools help secure posts in unstable soils, freeze-heave zones, or high-wind areas. Properly set posts improve long-term fence stability and durability in harsh Canadian climates.
Mechanised equipment is ideal for multi-acre projects, deep or heavy post installations, time-sensitive builds, or when reducing labour costs and improving installation consistency is a priority.
A good wire reel should allow smooth wire feeding, handle the required wire length, include guides or brakes to prevent tangling, and be durable enough for rough terrain and frequent transport.
Frozen ground, clay, rock, remote locations, and cold temperatures require rugged equipment. Look for high-impact drivers, concrete anchoring solutions, corrosion-resistant materials, and tools rated for low-temperature operation.
For large projects, renting mechanised equipment or hiring crews with proper gear often saves time and reduces overall costs compared to labour-intensive manual installation. Consider site conditions, labour availability, and project timelines.
Regular maintenance includes inspecting driver hammers, reels, hydraulic components, and wear points, lubricating moving parts, protecting equipment from weather exposure, and replacing worn components before failures occur.
Manual tools are suitable for small or one-time projects. Powered equipment is more efficient for multi-acre installations, frequent builds, or professional use. Match the tool choice to your budget, timeline, and job size.
In some cases, yes, but specialised fencing equipment improves speed, safety, consistency, and installation quality. Hand tools are often slower and less effective in challenging Canadian conditions.
Essential safety gear includes steel-toe boots, gloves, eye and ear protection, high-visibility clothing, and proper operator training. Safe work zones and awareness of energized fences and site hazards are critical.
Useful accessories include spare wear parts, anchors, additional reels or cables, lubricant kits, equipment covers, transport brackets, and a basic tool kit to keep equipment operational on-site.
