Sectors
The right pile driver for every jobsite
The same machine on three sites: what changes from one sector to the next is the depth required, the weight the ground carries and the room the site leaves around the mast.

Photovoltaic
A ground-mounted plant is the same operation repeated hundreds of times, on long, regular rows. The problem is not the single pile, it is the pace: a minute lost is multiplied by the number of piles, and the site stretches by days.
The TURCHI 300F is the machine of this sector. It drives piles up to 6 m and, with short piles, puts an average of 150 in the ground per day with a single operator, with no excavation and no pour: it moves itself along the row, and the site advances as it goes from one driving point to the next.

Road
On a guardrail the constraint is not the length of the post, it is the room. You work on the hard shoulder with the lane beside you still open to traffic, often inside a tight time window: the post is short, but the machine has to be one that fits.
The TURCHI 260F drives the posts one after another without closing the lane, holding depth and plumb constant over the whole stretch, with a single operator. It is compact enough for the shoulder and stable enough not to move under the hammer blow.

Agriculture
Vineyards and orchards are planted where the land is, and often the land is on a slope. Here the problem is plumbness: a crooked post in a row stays crooked for the whole life of the planting.
The TURCHI 300F compensates lateral tilt up to ±10° and tilts the mast forwards and backwards too, so it stays plumb while the tracks follow the ground. Rubber tracks carry it between the rows, where a wheeled machine cannot get through.

Explore the sectors, compare the models
This page brings together TURCHI pile-driver applications in photovoltaic, guardrail and agriculture. You can explore each sector, compare the models and use the configurator to choose the model, working height, impact energy and accessories.

Yes, but the sector alone does not determine the machine. Tell us what work you need to do and how tall the piles are; for rocky ground or particular conditions, we also need subsurface data. We check whether the TURCHI 300F or 260F can be configured for your site.
The profile is usually handled with dedicated guides, not by changing models. Pile height matters most when choosing the machine: the 300F can be configured for a maximum driving height of up to 6 m, while the 260F reaches 3.5 m with the standard mast extension. For the guides, we can start from the pile's technical drawing or the necessary dimensions.
To assess pre-drilling, we need the required driving depth and hole diameter; if available, also send the geological report and pile drawing. In continuous rock, a DTH down-the-hole hammer may be needed. The ground type alone is not enough to confirm the equipment.
Yes. The TURCHI 300F is our first proposal for photovoltaic work and the 260F for roadworks, but they are not limited to those applications. The choice depends on pile height, ground, access and configuration, not the sector label.
No. Lateral tilt aligns the pile; the slope on which the machine can work is a separate limit and depends on model, orientation, ground and pile height. Describe the slope and planned work before choosing the configuration.
