Benefit |
| Compact control |
A width of 55.5” (141 cm) makes the D23x30DR S3 drill 24.5” (62.2 cm) narrower than its closest competitor, helping improve maneuverability and transport convenience. |
| Powerful performance |
A 100 hp (75 kW) Deutz TCD3.6L4 engine powers the D23x30DR S3 and delivers strong drilling performance. |
| Thrust/Pullback |
A thrust/pullback of 24,000 lb (106.8 kN) combined with 3000 ft-lb (4067.5 Nm) of rotational torque enables confident drilling through hard rock. |
| Worth its weight |
At 16,500 lb (7484 kg), the D23x30DR S3 is one of the lightest rock drills in its class, helping reduce disturbance to sidewalks and landscapes. |
| Vermeer Fleet-ready |
Optional Vermeer Fleet telematics provide machine monitoring, maintenance scheduling, fuel usage tracking and geofencing capabilities. |
| Serviceability |
Convenient access to service points helps maintain machine productivity and simplify maintenance tasks. |
| Familiar features |
Common CAN controls help operators transition from single rod machines to dual rod rock drilling with confidence. |
| Dual rod durability |
The Firestick® drill rod system includes a threaded outer rod and hex coupled inner rod for improved wear life and steerability. |
| Drill head |
The RH10 drill head with a 2-degree bend offers responsive steering performance and compatibility with 5.5” tri-cone or PDC bits. |
| Quick pullback grapple |
The PG5 quick pullback grapple reduces the need to remove the drill head when installing small diameter product pipes. |
| Rock quietly |
With an operator ear noise level of 83 dB(A), the drill helps improve operator comfort and reduce neighborhood disturbance. |
| The fast track |
Tracking speeds up to 3.4 mph (5.5 km/h) help crews move quickly between drilling locations. |
| Need for speed |
A carriage speed of 175 ft/min (53.3 m/min) and rotational speed of 200 rpm help improve rod exchange speed and installation efficiency. |
