Features may include:

Versatility to handle variety of jobs
  • Operators can adjust the drill from 30,000 ft-lb to 52,600 ft-lb (40,675 Nm to 71,316.1 Nm) of rotary torque, with max torque being highly advantageous when turning large-diameter reamers and hole openers for installing large-diameter product.
Customize your comfort and operation
  • Full-length catwalk provides access to the entire length of the rack for ease of wire lining and assisting in the rod loading process.
  • Rod stager option helps improve overall efficiency by staging rods in advance and cycling rods with a touch of a button.
  • Choose an excavator-style cab (cab on) for fast, compact setup and view of open-top vises, the rack and the rod loader or a stand-alone operator’s station that helps provide optimal operator comfort and room for the steering hand.
  • Both the cab and operator’s station include the same dual multifunction joystick controls found on all Vermeer S3 horizontal directional drills.
More work, fewer hassles
  • The high carriage speed aids in fast rod cycle time when adding or removing drill rods and helps cut down on cycle time when tripping out of the borehole.
  • Enhanced water course system features four 1.5-in (3.8-cm) mudlines and a 3-in (7.6-cm) head shaft, allowing high volumes of fluid to be pumped downhole.
