D60x90 – More about our new Vermeer drilling rigs
The D60x90 S3 Navigator® horizontal directional drill is significantly more powerful and quieter than its predecessor — with the interactive Aurora® digital display to help get the job done faster and more efficiently.
This machine packs all these valuable benefits into a modest footprint.
With up to 60,000 lb (266.9 kN) of thrust and pullback — an impressive 17 hp (13 kW) increase over its previous model (D60x90 Navigator® horizontal directional drill) — the D60x90 S3 is the drill that will take productivity to a whole new level.
IMPRESSIVE SIZE-TO-POWER RATIO.
The D60x90 S3 boasts up to 60,000 lb (267 kN) thrust/pullback and 9,000 ft-lb (12,202.4 Nm) of rotational torque at just 100″ (254 cm) wide and 26′ long (7.9 m), so it’s qualified for a range of installation specifications even in congested urban sites.
INCREASED POWER. The D60x90 S3 boasts a sizeable 17 hp (12.7 kW) increase over its predecessor, the D60x90, giving operators more power for drilling in difficult ground conditions.
SIGNIFICANTLY QUIETER. The D60x90 S3 has a guaranteed sound power rating of just 107 dBA – 12 dBA lower than its predecessor the D60x90 – resulting in reduced noise at operator’s ear [83 dBA], increased operator comfort and less noise disturbance in residential or urban areas.
LARGE OPEN-TOP VISE DESIGN. The D60x90 S3 features a large open-top vise design for the purpose of removing and adding tooling.
CONVENIENT ROD LOADING. Easy-to-operate and reliable rod loader is inspired by the popular and proven D24x40 Series II design.
AURORA™ TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY.
Interactive, full-color display provides real-time location information plus tools to complete drilling activities more efficiently, and can replace the need for hard copy bore plans.
