Urban-friendly operation and design- Width of 55.5 in (141 cm) makes the D23x30DR S3 drill 24.5” (62.2 cm) narrower than its closest competitor and offers maneuverability into compact urban areas or busy neighborhoods, and convenient transportation on a trailer with other equipment.
- Following the reliable S3 sound badge, the D23x30DR S3 has an operator ear noise level of 80.3 dB(A) to help with operator comfort, crew communication and create a quiet working environment to reduce disturbance.
- Weighing in at 16,900 lb (7,666 kg), the D23x30DR S3 is the lightest rock drill in its class. The lightweight design helps keep your jobsite intact by decreasing potential disturbance to sidewalks, neighborhoods and landscapes.
- The D23x30DR S3 offers a familiar operator experience to help crews transition to rock drilling from a single rod machine and get in and out of tough ground with precision and power.
- A 100-hp (75-kW) Deutz® TCD 3.6L4 engine provides power to help drive the D23x30DR S3 to its peak performance.
- Thrust/pullback of 24,000 lb (106.8 kN) combines with outer rod rotational torque of 3,000 ft-lb (4,067.5 Nm) to help get the drill into tough ground.
- VermeerOne™ Platform isn’t just a tool or platform. It’s an experience — one designed to simplify equipment management, empower users with real-time data to make smarter decisions, and help maximize productivity and profitability.
