Today, the legacy continues with the D24S, tailored to meet contractors’ precise needs for affordability, size and performance. With an impressive 5,695 Nm (4,200 ft-lb) of rotational torque and 10.9 tons (24,000 lb) of thrust and pullback, the D24S allows for heightened productivity and improved cycle times that help expedite the project completion. Building upon the robust foundation of Vermeer D24x40 Series II flagship drill, the D24S is specifically crafted for developing countries. It retains the renowned reliability of its predecessor while maintaining features that elevate productivity and operator comfort. Experience performance and durability with the D24S.
It’s not just a drill; it’s a testament to the Vermeer commitment to excellence.
| Feature | Benefit |
| Power-to-footprint | |
| Compact footprint of just 6 m ( ft) length and 2.2 m (7. ft) transport width. Paired with a low (setting) torque of 4,200 ft-lb (5,695 Nm). | Suited for congested urban jobsites as it allows utility contractors to tackle jobs in tight spaces and challenging soil types. |
| Firestick® drill rod and V Rod Advantage | |
| The D24S is compatible with Firestick® drill rod and V Rods, both being one piece forged that can handle high-torque drilling while offering a large inside diameter for superior drilling fluid flow. The add-a-rod feature allows the addition of a single rod at a time by using the rod loader arms. | The steel composition of the rods allow for increased durability and flexibility. The tensile strength of the rods is designed to handle challenging jobs or bores. Efficient fluid flow helps reduce the risk of blockages and helps maintain drilling stability. |
| Common controls | |
| The D24S is equipped with common controls shared with all Vermeer drills, including auto carve and AutoDrill. Optional cab is available. | These commonalities provide peace of mind by simplifying operations and optimizing training time. |
| Rubber pads on steel tracks | |
| Rubber pads to help reduce jobsite damage. | Rubber inserts help minimize ground disruption on the jobsite. The use of replaceable rubber pads offers a balance between traction, ground protection, durability and versatility. |
| Wireless remote | |
| The D24S comes with a wireless remote control for ease of use. A wireless remote can help you efficiently load and unload the drill, as well as provide exceptional 360-degree visibility during tracking. | Enhances 360-degrees visibility and maneuverability while the machine is being moved. |
| Controller and Software — Plus+1 Control System | |
| For precision and reliability, the control system in the D24S uses the Plus+1 control system. This drill also includes auto–carve and AutoDrill. | Auto-carve automates certain drill head motions, helping you to set and adjust rotation duration and direction while maintaining a preset thrust pressure. This can help to get through hard ground conditions, which enables drilling consistency. To top it off, the updated console design helps provide a seamless, user-friendly bore path adjustment experience for the operator. |
| Open-top vise | |
| Open-top vise helps improve visibility of the rod joints from the operator station/cab as well as simplify vise dies exchange. | Helps with visibility of the drill rod connections. The vise design is low to the ground, which minimizes rod exposure. |
