Compact does not mean compromise.
The TURCHI 260F proves power and compactness can coexist. At just 3,500 kg and a small footprint (1.93 × 2.20 m), it reaches urban road sites larger machines cannot — without giving up productivity.
One operator runs the machine. With short piles, 150 piles/day is an indicative average, not a minimum or a maximum; 200-300 are possible in optimal conditions. Setup takes 10 minutes. Pile-driving height reaches 3.5 m with the standard mast extension. Transport is on a light trailer with no special vehicle. These numbers come from 53 years of TURCHI experience.
Built for road work and cities, the 260F also excels at mid-scale solar. The smart choice when you want ROI without overspending.
The compact machine demanding road contractors choose for urban sites where space matters.
One compact machine. Two sectors. Zero compromise.

For road applications, the TURCHI 260F drives sigma and guardrail posts with speed and precision. Its size fits tight sites and cities. The mast adjusts ±10° sideways and +10° frontally; the frontal -51° is for transport, not work. These angles do not indicate a safe working slope.

working height
The TURCHI 260F is aimed at road work, but also works in solar. Maximum pile-driving height is 3.5 m with the standard mast extension. H, C, U and Sigma profiles and other profiles need suitable shoes; pile height and ground matter when choosing the model. With short piles, 150 piles/day is an indicative average; 200-300 are possible in optimal conditions. Timelines are estimated on the project, not on MW alone.
Configure for solarHow it works. As simple as it looks.
Four intuitive steps from zero to productive.
Position
Move the machine to the first pile using simplified controls.
Align
Adjust the mast: ±10° sideways, +10° frontally. The frontal -51° is for transport, not work; these are not safe slope limits.
Drive
Run the hammer and watch the pile reach depth.
Move on
Go to the next pile and repeat. That is it.
No special training required. Intuitive from day one. With optional wireless remote, full control from anywhere.

On repetitive work with short piles, 150 piles per day is an indicative average, neither a minimum nor a ceiling. In optimal conditions 200-300 piles per day can be reached; guardrail, solar, ground, pile height and site logistics change the real output. An estimate needs the job data.
The TURCHI 260F is more compact (3,500 kg versus 4,400 kg) and is aimed at road sites and tight access; the 300F is aimed at large solar sites. The 260F drives piles to 3.5 m, the 300F reaches 6 m. Both can also work in the other sector and carry hammers from the same range: the choice depends on the pile and the site conditions.
The catalogued configuration of the TURCHI 260F is for driving and does not include screwing. If your project requires screw piles, send us the specifications: the technical team will check whether a suitable set-up exists, without promising the function as a standard option.
The TURCHI 260F works with the common H, C, U and Sigma profiles and can be fitted with custom shoes for other profiles. With the standard mast extension, maximum pile-driving height is 3.5 metres: pile height and ground matter more than the profile name when choosing the machine. Send us the pile drawing so we can prepare the shoes.
The TURCHI 260F weighs 3,500 kg in working order. Trailer payload, transported equipment, dimensions of the chosen configuration and site access must be checked together; the machine's weight alone is not enough to confirm that a 3.5 t trailer is suitable.
No. The 260F is designed to be intuitive. Training can be done in half a day. A wireless remote is optional for distance control.
