Machine for the introduction of poles into the ground, particularly for the reinforcement of safety barriers

A machine for introducing poles into the ground for the reinforcement of safety barriers, wherein a safety barrier to be reinforced is composed of a series of sustaining poles inserted in the ground, laterally to a road surface and of a longitudinal band connecting the sustaining poles to each other and extending substantially parallel to said road surface R, said machine comprising:

• at least one movement assembly for movement of said machine on said surface at a point where said safety barrier to be reinforced is located;
• at least one insertion assembly associated movable with said movement assembly and adapted to introduce at least partly into the ground at least one reinforcement pole at a point where a base of said safety barrier is located;
• a physical positioning device associated with said movement assembly and adapted to position said insertion assembly between:
• at least one home position, wherein said insertion assembly approaches said movement assembly to allow transit of said machine;
• at least one operating position, wherein said insertion assembly is located beyond and across said safety barrier;
• and
• at least one insertion position, wherein said insertion assembly is tilted by an angle of insertion for introduction of said reinforcement pole at the point where the base of said safety barrier is located, wherein
• said angle of insertion ranges from 130° to 150°;
• said at least one movement assembly comprises a supporting frame, said supporting frame being configured to position said insertion assembly at a height equal to or higher than said at least one safety barrier, and
• said physical positioning device comprise a horizontal translation device to position said insertion assembly between a home position and an operating position, wherein in said operating and insertion positions the safety barrier is located between said movement assembly and said insertion assembly.
