The Vermeer D40x55DR S3 Navigator horizontal directional drill delivers excellent productivity in broad range of ground conditions, from hard, medium and soft rock to loam, dirt and clay. This rock drill features dual rod technology that uses an inner rod to provide torque to the drill bit, while the outer rod offers steering capability and rotational torque for reaming. The combination provides powerful downhole cutting action and the flexibility to select the appropriate tooling to best match the ground conditions, which can allow the entire install to be completed with one machine. 

The versatile D40x55 S3 offers premium performance, class-leading cycle times and a variety of drill rod options, making it well-suited to variety of applications – from long fiber shots to light pipeline work. 

With 40,000 pounds of thrust and pullback and 5,500 ft-lbs of rotational torque — a 10 percent increase over its predecessor (D36x50 Series II) — the D40x55 S3 helps maximize job site productivity.
