WATCH IT IN ACTION
Introducing the game-changer in fencing
SAVE TIME, SAVE MONEY, SAVE LABOUR
Clear an entire fence line up to 4x faster than traditional methods. One person with a PostMate does the work of two — cutting your labour costs and getting the job done before lunch
ELIMINATE THE RISK. COMPLETELY
Traditional post pulling puts people in dangerous positions under loader buckets. The PostMate removes that risk entirely. Our toothed spool mechanism locks every post in a secure grip — no slipping, no sudden releases, no injuries.
KIWI INGENUITY
New Zealand-Made. Built for Farmers, by Farmers.
There are countless stories of farmers and contractors getting hurt under a loader trying to pull fence posts. The question was always asked: 'Isn't there a better way?' Warren Storey, a Waikato dairy farmer, decided to find out, and The PostMate was born in his farm shed.
The PostMate doesn't just reduce the risk - it completely removes it. What used to be a dangerous two-man job is now a safe, quick, one-person operation:
1. Lower the chain around the post
2. Lift - the toothed spool grips tight automatically
3. Remove the post cleanly
4. Release, move on, repeat
The PostMate isn’t just another tool - it’s a game-changer for the fencing industry.
Pull posts as fast as your loader will go. Clear fence lines up to 4x quicker than the traditional way. Pull all sizes of wooden and concrete post/strainers - while saving on labour, fuel, and precious time.
SAFE & EFFECTIVE
The PostMate was born from a simple idea: there had to be a safer, faster way to pull posts. Designed in New Zealand and built to last, it’s helping farmers everywhere work smarter and stay safe on the job.
PROUD & PRACTICAL
We’re proud to bring a bit of Kiwi ingenuity to an age-old problem. The PostMate takes the hard, risky work out of post pulling and turns it into a quick, one-person job - saving time, money, and a few sore backs along the way.

WARREN STOREY
Co-Founder/Inventor
Background
Raised on a Dairy farm in the Waikato I was drawn to the workshop from a young age.
My father has always either made something he needed, improved an existing product or invented his own if it didn't exist.
I grew up thinking that is the normal way of doing things and still enjoy solving a problem with an engineering solution, that's how The Postmate came about.
