Vermeer D220x300S HDD suited to demanding jobsites

The Vermeer D220x300S horizontal directional drill (HDD) rigs has been involved in various trenchless projects across Asia. It is suitable for use in rough terrains and harsh conditions, delivering increased productivity and efficiency.

The D220x300S offers a maximum thrust/pullback rating of 978.6 kN (220,000 lbs), enabling operators to work in a variety of ground conditions and settings. With a small footprint, the machine is also ideal for use in congested areas while allowing operators to move it around jobsites easily and quickly.

The D220x300S has a spacious cab and an operator station with intuitive dual joysticks for simple operation. The rig provides a 40,675 Nm of rotational torque in low speed and can stage five rods at a time, minimising jobsite time spent loading rod.

A sliding vise helps clamp the rod connection at different positions, allowing operators to utilise the vise for maximum efficiency when reaming or pulling product. The optional telescoping crane reduces the amount of support equipment needed onsite.
