    The TURCHI 160 is the perfect entry point into the TURCHI range. Starting at just 1,500 kg with an ultra-compact footprint (2.30 × 1.37 m), it is the most transportable and accessible machine on the market—without giving up Made in Italy build quality built over 53 years.

    Available as CA (truck-mounted with a 3-position slew platform) or PF (fully self-propelled with its own engine), the TURCHI 160 fits every workflow. Choose the 720J, 830J or 950J hammer to match soil and application.

    Whether you are starting out, need a second site machine, or work where larger rigs cannot fit—the TURCHI 160 pays back in months.

    The most accessible investment to enter the pile driving market.
