A DRILL DESIGNED
SPECIFICALLY
FOR
MAXIMUM
PERFORMANCE
IN
CONGESTED
ENVIRONMENT
As the need for more
infrastructure and utility
installation grows, tackle fiber,
electrical, gas,
water, and
other projects with the
D60S.
Manufactured in
Tianjin, China, with
highquality parts and
components that Vermeer
is
known for, this drill is
built tough for your jobsite
conditions and high-quality
performance.
Our commitment is to help you tackle jobs in tight spaces and challenging soil
types. This new generation of D60S drills can handle a variety of applications and
jobsites to help maximize productivity and connect you to the world. It’s
equipped with features that promote ease of operation and powerful torque
and thrust to keep you drilling quickly and efficiently.
IMPRESSIVE
FOOTPRINT
A modest footprint
of just 100-in (254-cm)
transport width and
26-ft (7.9-m)
length allows
the D60S to fit a range of
installation specifications
— even
congested urban
jobsites. The D60S comes
with a standard remote
control
for ease of use that
helps you efficiently load
and unload the drill.
Plus+1 control system For precision and reliability, the control system in
the D60S has been upgraded to PLUS+1.
This drill
also includes the AutoSteer system, which
automates certain drill head motions at
pre-determined rotation direction while maintaining
a pre-set thrust pressure to get through
hard ground
conditions, which enables drilling consistency.
To top it off, the updated console
design helps provide
a seamless, user-friendly bore path adjustment
experience for the operator
Powerful torque and thrust The D60S is one of the most powerful drills in its
class: 60,000 lbs (266.9 kN) of thrust and
pullback
and 9,000 ft-lb (12,202.4 Nm) of rotational torque,
allowing operators to maximize
their efficiency
and productivity in tougher jobs.
Maintenance made simple The D60S engine hood can pivot and is only one
piece. This design provides convenient
access to
internal components for ease of serviceability
and maintenance checks.
Rotation capabilities
The three-speed gearbox helps improve overall
drilling efficiency by allowing the operator
to
adjust the machine’s rotational torque to match
different ground conditions.
Operator-controlled rod loader The operator-controlled rod loader helps
reduce the labor involved with manually loading
and
unloading drill rod, which also assists in
increasing overall drilling efficiency. With an added
rod function, single rods can be loaded quickly
instead of changing the rod box.
Enhanced visibility and climate controlled cab
The cabin offers ideal visibility and spacious
work area for the operator to work in a variety
of climate conditions. Dashboard controls are
lined with the vice and entry pit and large
windows provide clear visibility of the rack,
vices and borepath.
