2024 Vermeer® Pipeline Directional Drills D220x500
Power, capabilities and ultimate control over the configuration of your rig.
The D220x500 S3 Navigator horizontal directional drill supports large-diameter water and utility installs in urban areas, as well as challenging pipeline work. Choose between cab on, or a separate stand-alone driller’s cab. Outfitting the drill with a 30-ft (9.1-m) rack gives crews the ability to use a variety of range 2 drill pipe, helping decrease the number of tool joint connections – the optimal setup for performing pipeline work. Integrate either a rod stager with a wire line platform, or a full-length catwalk for ease of access up and down the rack. Maximize productivity with a 415-hp (309-kW) Caterpillar engine that helps deliver 52,600 ft-lb (71,316.1 Nm) of rotary torque and a fluid course which allows high volumes of fluid to be pumped downhole for larger-diameter bores. Designed for performance. Built to your preference.
Features may include:
Powerful torque- Operators can adjust the drill from 30,000 ft-lb to 52,600 ft-lb (40,675 Nm to 71,316.1 Nm) of rotary torque, with max torque being highly advantageous when turning large-diameter reamers and hole openers for installing large-diameter product.
Cab choices- Choose an excavator-style cab (cab on) for fast, compact setup and view of open-top vises, the rack and the rod loader. A stand-alone operator’s station helps provide optimal operator comfort and room for the steering hand. Both the cab and operator’s station include the same dual multifunction joystick controls found on all Vermeer S3 horizontal directional drills.
Drill rod advantages- Outfitting the drill with a 30-ft (9.1-m) rack gives crews the ability to use a variety of range 2 drill pipe, helping decrease the number of tool joint connections – the optimal setup for performing pipeline work.
Catwalk and rod stager options- The full-length catwalk provides access to the entire length of the rack for ease of wire lining and assisting in the rod loading process. The rod stager option helps improve overall efficiency by staging rods in advance and cycling rods with a touch of a button.
Mud flow- The enhanced water course system features four 1.5-in (3.8-cm) mudlines and a 3-in (7.6-cm) head shaft, allowing high volumes of fluid to be pumped downhole.
Carriage speed- The high carriage speed aids in fast rod cycle time when adding or removing drill rods and helps cut down on cycle time when tripping out of the borehole.
