![]() ![]() It also has an advantage in that it can be rebuilt in the field. The drill head is designed to cope with 2,033.7 nM of inner rod torque, which the company says allows operators greater steering control. Vermeer has also released a new tooling option for its range of dual rod directional drills – the RH15 rock drill head, which was developed in conjunction with the D40x55DR S3. The rig can carry 152.4 m of drill rods onboard and promises a low sound power rating of 104 dBA. The drill is powered by a 104.4 kW (140 hp) John Deere diesel engine, and boasts thrust/pullback of 177.9 kN, plus 7,457 Nm of rotational torque. ![]() ![]() A wide range of tooling options are also available, including rotary, drag cutting and roller cone bits, plus air hammers and the ability to pull larger hole openers. Vermeer says the time required to add or remove a rod on the new drill has been cut by 30%, compared with earlier models. “With the D40x55DR S3 horizontal directional drill, we’ve incorporated the dependability and performance of our popular D40x55 S3 Navigator horizontal directional drill with the latest advancements in dual rod technology to create a familiar operator experience that will outperform many other rock drilling solutions.” Tod Michael, product manager of trenchless products at Vermeer, said, “Dual rod drilling rigs are much easier to use than other rock drilling solutions and provide more versatility when a contractor is drilling soil conditions that vary significantly throughout the bore path. Together, says Vermeer, the two enhance downhole cutting, while the machine offers the flexibility in terms of tool selection, appropriate for the ground conditions. The drill features the company’s dual rod technology, with an inner rod providing torque to the drill bit, while the outer rod aids steering and rotation torque for reaming. Vermeer recently introduced the D40x55DR S3 Navigator HDD, designed to deliver enhanced productivity across a range of ground conditions. Ditch Witch says class-leading cycle times can be achieved due to the drill’s optimised carriage speed, while its ability to hold up to 182.8 m of drill pipe onboard allows for extended bores. Powered by a 160 hp, Tier 4 Cummins diesel engine, the JT40 promises minimal pipe-entry distance, resulting in extra drill pipe support on entering the ground. The unit includes ergonomic controls, an LCD display and electronic strike indicators.ĭitch Witch’s JT40 directional drill, which is available with an optional fully-enclosed cab, has a choice of heat and air capabilities, or an open operator’s station.īoth options feature an ergonomic seat and extended legroom and place the operator at a 45-degree angle, which Ditch Witch says provides visibility at all critical vision points. Vermeer’s D40x55DR S3 Navigator HDD features dual rod technology, with an inner rod providing torque to the drill bitĭitch Witch says the compact nature of the drill package allows for easy transportation in and around job sites. The mixing system is powered by a 44 hp Tier 4 Yanmar diesel engine. Powered by a 74.5 hp Tier 4 Deutz diesel engine, the new drill promises greater mud flow, plus improved spindle torque and speed than its predecessor. The first was the JT20XP directional drill package, designed for mid-sized and larger utility-installation jobs.Īlong with the drill itself, the package includes an XP44 mixing system, which channels all 118 hp of on-board power towards thrust and rotation. Trenchless technology is now a prerequisite on many construction sites, and the power and durability of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) equipment is advancing, along with guidance system technologies.ĭitch Witch recently launched two directional drills. Yet, its importance to the construction and quarrying industries is undoubted, as the strength of the offerings from major manufacturers demonstrates. With diverse applications and a huge variety of equipment and components, drilling can be a difficult sector to pin down.
