Company
Since 1973 we have built self-propelled hydraulic TURCHI pile drivers in the heart of Italy. We do not chase trends: we design machines that work, last and earn money for the people who use them. Every day, in 55 countries.
TURCHI Daniele SRL was founded in 1973 in Pilastro (PR), in the heart of Italy's mechanical engineering district. The idea was simple: build a pile driver one operator could take anywhere, even on rough ground, without cranes or extra equipment.
That idea grew into a company that today designs, builds and supports the world's most complete range of self-propelled hydraulic pile drivers. Every machine leaves our Italian plant after hundreds of hours of design, assembly and testing. We do not outsource and we do not offshore: quality is built where you can control it.
In over 53 years we have delivered hundreds of machines to construction firms, solar installers, road and agricultural contractors in 55 countries. We grew while staying true to one principle: build machines the customer never needs to send back.
From the first guardrail machines to tomorrow's solar plants.
Daniele Turchi founded the company in Pilastro (PR), in Italy's mechanical engineering heartland, with a revolutionary idea: a hydraulic pile driver that moves on its own. The first machines were designed for road guardrail installation.
TURCHI pile drivers cross Italian borders. Germany, France and Spain are among the first export markets.
First models for special foundations and fencing appear. TURCHI is no longer guardrail-only: the machine's versatility opens new sectors and new markets.
The company achieves European certifications and adopts quality management systems. Every machine is individually tested before delivery.
Europe's solar market surge opens a new chapter. TURCHI pile drivers become the tool of choice for ground-mounted solar installers thanks to speed and precision.
Launch of the 300F and 260F models, with optional GPS systems and masts extendable up to 6 m. Power and technology reach a new level.
Introduction of remote monitoring, radio remote control and remote diagnostics. TURCHI machines become connected: the technician acts without being on site.
With over 250 machines delivered in the last year and a distribution network in 55 countries, TURCHI is today the reference for self-propelled hydraulic pile drivers worldwide.
TURCHI machines work every day in 55 countries. A distribution and support network covering Europe (Italy, France, Spain, Germany, UK, Austria, Romania, Poland, Greece, Estonia, Ukraine), the Americas (USA), Oceania (Australia) and Africa, as far as India and the Middle East.
Every TURCHI machine meets the most rigorous European safety and quality standards.
All TURCHI machines comply with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. CE marking is applied after individual testing and conformity verification.
Certified quality management system. From design to delivery, every process is tracked, controlled and continuously improved.
Latest-generation engines meet European emissions rules. Lower consumption, minimized environmental impact.
A TURCHI machine cannot afford to stop. Every component is chosen to last, every assembly is checked twice. The target is 100% uptime. At 98% we come close.
Not a slogan: a fact. Design, manufacturing, assembly and testing happen at our Italian plant. We do not offshore, we do not outsource. Quality needs direct control.
We do not innovate for press releases. Every improvement, from GPS to remote monitoring, comes from a real customer problem. If it does not help on site, it does not go on the machine.
Selling a machine is the start, not the end. Support within 1 hour, parts in 48 hours, specialist technicians across Europe. Your investment is protected for the machine's whole life.
