Shipping & Freight

For an order containing products from a single brand, shipping is a flat rate based on your order total:

  • Orders up to $5,000: $279
  • Orders $5,000 to $10,000: $347
  • Orders $10,000 and over: $517

These rates cover standard freight delivery to a commercial address. After you place your order, our team will confirm your delivery timeline within 1 to 3 business days.

Ordering from more than one brand? Multi-brand orders ship on separate freight and are quoted individually rather than at the flat rate above. Place your order or contact us first and we will confirm total freight before anything is finalized.

Liftgate service is not included in these rates. If your delivery location has no loading dock or forklift to unload the freight from the truck, liftgate service is required and will be added to your shipping charge. If you are unsure whether you need it, contact us before ordering.

Commercial delivery locations are preferred when available. Residential delivery, limited-access locations, and appointment scheduling may affect handling.

Lead times vary by product, manufacturer availability, and selected options. Some configured, special-order, or non-stock items require additional processing time before they ship.

Please inspect all freight shipments at delivery before signing. If you see visible damage, note it with the carrier and contact us as soon as possible.

If you need freight, delivery, or lead-time guidance before ordering, contact our team before you purchase.

Compatibility / Fitment

Compatibility varies by product type, machine setup, selected options, and intended application.

For machine-mounted equipment and attachments, buyers should confirm fitment before ordering using the relevant machine information, including model, attachment style, mount type, coupler type, hydraulic requirements, and any other product-specific requirements listed on the page.

Hardscape Heavy can assist with pre-order fitment guidance based on the information you provide. This guidance is limited to purchase and compatibility review before ordering and does not include field installation, hydraulic modification, fabrication, or on-site setup support.

If you are unsure whether a product will work with your machine or application, contact us before placing the order.

Returns & Warranty

Warranty coverage is provided by the product manufacturer where applicable. Warranty terms, coverage periods, exclusions, and claim procedures vary by brand and product type.

Hardscape Heavy does not create separate warranty coverage beyond the manufacturer’s warranty unless explicitly stated on the product page.

Returns are governed by our store return policy. Because many products in this category involve freight shipping, special ordering, or configuration-specific selections, return eligibility may vary by product and condition. Special-order, custom-configured, used, damaged, or installed items may not be eligible for return.

Please review our full return policy before purchase. If you have questions about return eligibility or manufacturer warranty coverage for a specific item, contact us before ordering.

The Eterra PDX-1000 excavator post driver sets posts from the machine's own arm, so an operator can reach along a fence line, down a bank, or into a ditch without repositioning the carrier for every post. It is the excavator build of the PDX-1000, and the supplier prices it with the mount included.

The driver develops a 1,000 ft-lb energy class and 32,000 lbf of impact force, and it cycles fast enough to keep a crew moving down a line rather than waiting on the machine. Driving depth varies with the options ordered, and the driver head is heat-treatable alloy steel. The excavator model is sized for a carrier with the lift capacity to hold it out at reach.

Common Applications

  • Setting fence, guardrail, and sign posts along a line from the excavator arm
  • Post work on banks, ditches, and ground the carrier cannot easily drive onto
  • Agricultural and property fencing where the reach of a boom shortens the job

Selection Notes

  • The excavator model is a single orderable configuration, part number ET-17C001-A003-63, and the mount is included in its price.
  • The supplier's order page asks for an excavator coupler selection by carrier model, offering Bobcat Exchange, Caterpillar CR304.5, John Deere 35D, John Deere 50D, Kubota KX121/KX091, a build-your-own option, and an other-coupler route.
  • A driver head is chosen in the buy box, flat or domed and cone, and it is priced separately from the machine.
  • An add-on breaker tool is chosen in the buy box and is likewise priced separately.
  • The base row is the driver alone and includes neither a head nor a breaker tool; the price of each item chosen is added to it.
  • The page's own specification row publishes a tilt angle and a grapple post diameter that neither the cart nor the price book offers on the excavator build. Neither figure is published here; confirm with the supplier before quoting either.
  • Confirm the coupler face and your machine's flow with the supplier before ordering.
