Guardrail Pounder Truck
GRT Zero-Tail-Swing Post Driver · Cummins PX-7
Listing · Service Trucks & Trailers
A 2016 Peterbilt PB337 single-axle chassis carrying a GRT zero-tail-swing hydraulic post driver — a purpose-built rig for setting and pulling guardrail and sign posts on highway and DOT work. The zero-tail-swing frame keeps the counterweight from hanging into the next lane, so crews close less road while they work. Cummins power up front, and 173,745 miles on the chassis.

GRT Zero-Tail-Swing
The Pounder Unit
The pounder is built by GRT Utilicorp, Inc., a family-owned manufacturer in Wooster, Ohio with roughly five decades in post-driving and drilling equipment. Their self-contained drivers set steel and wood posts with a hydraulic drop hammer and pull them with a heavy-duty extractor cylinder.
This unit is from GRT’s zero-tail-swing line — a frame design with a compact swing radius that eliminates the counterweight overhang on the non-work side of the machine. That overhang is what often forces extra lane closures when a driver sits near live traffic, so the design is aimed squarely at keeping more of the road open.
