We're here at the 2019 ICUEE show
in Louisville, Kentucky,
where people are taking a long, hard look
at the new D23x30DR S3 Navigator®
horizontal directional drill.
It continues the legacy of our S3 badge,
offering speed, simplicity and sound.
Featuring a class-leading narrow footprint
with a weight of just 16,500 pounds,
making the D23x30DR S3 the lightest
rock drill on the market.
This machine is well-suited for fiber,
electrical,
gas,
and water installation
in hard rock
as well as other challenging
ground conditions.
But don't let this lightweight
and narrow footprint fool you.
This drill is as powerful as it is quiet.
100-horsepower Deutz engine delivers
24,000 pounds of thrust/pullback
while delivering 3,000 foot-pounds of
outer-rod rotational torque
combined with 800 foot-pounds of inner rod
rotational torque.
Despite that power, the
D23x30DR S3 has an operator
ear noise level of just 83 decibels.
This helps with operator comfort,
crew communication,
and minimizes disturbance.
Common controls and dual
rod technology can help
operators transition
smoothly into rock drilling
from a single rod machine
and get in and out of
tough ground with precision
and power.
New rock tooling helps further
enhance its performance
and productivity in
rocky ground conditions.
The Vermeer RH10 drill
head makes it happen,
and when you purchase the
Vermeer Confidence Plus®
asset protection program,
you'll have a fixed cost
over the life of the
extended service package.
That way you'll know your cost upfront
for the primary service intervals -
parts,
fluid
and labor
with a single and predictable payment.
The D23x30DR S3 delivers
impressive power to help
you get through those
tough ground conditions.
That's it on this machine.
Make sure you check out
all of Vermeer's other
product walk-arounds at the
2019 ICUEE Demo Expo.
