TURCHI hydraulic pile drivers drive an average of 150 short piles per day with a single operator. Fifteen-minute setup, zero standing time. The choice of EPC contractors who deliver on time and on budget — from Italy to Romania, Spain to Poland.
Whoever drives piles faster wins more contracts.
406 GW
Solar capacity installed across the EU (end of 2025)
A record market demanding fast, efficient, scalable pile driving on every new ground-mount project.
+65 GW
New capacity installed in the EU in 2025
Millions of piles every year. The machine that drives faster wins more contracts.

How a TURCHI pile driver transforms your solar jobsite.
01
The pile driver arrives on a standard trailer (no special transport). Offload, position and start in under 15 minutes.
02
Optional GPS guides the operator to the exact coordinates of each pile. Zero positioning errors, no rework.
03
The 950–1,500 J hammer drives each pile in seconds, even in clay and compact soils. The operator works entirely from the ground.
04
The machine moves to the next pile via radio remote control, with no stops between one drive and the next.
Semi-automatic GPS, assisted verticality and remote monitoring are available as options on all models.

How two operators completed ~1,850 piles in 12 days using a TURCHI 300F
“With the TURCHI 300F we handed over the site three days ahead of schedule. The client awarded us the second lot directly.”
Original (Romanian)
“Cu TURCHI 300F am predat șantierul cu 3 zile mai devreme față de graficul de execuție. Clientul ne-a încredințat direct al doilea lot.”
| Metric | TURCHI 300F | Manual / excavator | Advantage |
