BUILDING ON GREATNESS.
Incorporating
dependability and performance
of the D40x55 S3
Navigator® horizontal
directional drill with the
latest advancements
in dual rod technology
create a familiar operator
experience that will
outperform many other
rock drilling solutions.
REDUCED STEPS. The time and steps required
to add or remove
a rod on the D40x55DR S3 is
significantly less
than previous Vermeer models
due to an
enhanced dual drill rod design that
quickly
and easily makes up the inner and outer
rod
connections.
ADDED COMFORT. Install with added comfort
of climate control,
weatherproofing and reduced
noise levels of
80 dBA at the operator’s ear in a
standard
operator’s cab.
IMPRESSIVE POWER. Powered by a 140 hp
(104 kW) John Deere
diesel engine, this drill
serves up 40,000 lb
(177.9 kN) of thrust/pullback
and 5,500
ft-lb (7,457 Nm) of rotational torque.
MORE FEET ONBOARD. Install more feet and
save time with
an impressive 500' (152.4 m) of
drill
rod on-board.
LESS RESTRICTIONS. A hollow inner rod design
results in more
air and drilling fluid flow to the drill
head
on pilot bores and the hole opener
during
pullback, providing contractors
the ability to select
from a more diverse
range of tooling options,
including air
hammers and larger hole openers.
