PREMIUM PERFORMANCE.
With 40,000 lb (177.9 kN) of thrust/pullback and 5500
ft-lb (7457 Nm) of rotational torque, the D40x55 S3
offers a 10% increase in thrust and rotation over its
predecessor, the D36x50 Series II – helping to
maximize productivity.
VARIETY OF ROD OPTIONS. The D40x55 S3 is available with a range of drill rod
options, including a 10' (3 m) length in 2.38" (6 cm)
or a 2.63" (6.7 cm) diameter, and a 15' (4.6 m) length
in a 2.63" (6.7 cm) diameter. A variety of rod options
allows the drill to be configured to the specific
needs of the contractor.
CLASS-LEADING CYCLE TIMES. The D40x55 S3 features a carriage speed of 188 fpm
(57.3 m/min) – which is 7% faster than its predecessor,
the D36x50 Series II – helping contractors install
more linear feet per day
SIGNIFICANT SOUND REDUCTION. With a 104 dB(A) guaranteed sound power level and an
operator ear rating of 82.9 dB(A) [in-cab rating of 75.7 dB(A)],
the D40x55 S3 is signifi cantly quieter than its predecessor
– contributing to a quieter working environment with less
neighborhood disturbance and easier communication
among the crew.
COMFORTABLE CAB. The excavator-style cab provides operators more
legroom and greater comfort.
AURORA™ TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY. Interactive full-color touchscreen display delivers
real-time, easy-to-view locate information, bore plans and
more that can help increase productivity.
