Introducing the Vermeer D24 Horizontal Directional Drill

Engineered for urban utility installation

The D24 horizontal directional drill (HDD) is engineered to tackle the unique challenges of urban utility installation. Its compact design allows for efficient operation in confined city spaces while delivering the power and precision needed to handle diverse soil conditions. This balance of size and capability makes the D24 an ideal choice for contractors working in densely populated areas.

  • Easier drilling for crews of various skill levels with an automated rod exchange and open-side vise.
  • Help increase uptime with on-rig diagnostics and bolstered reliability from redesigned components.
  • Go further and bore more than its predecessor, the D23x30 S3, with an optional 480 ft (150 m) of rod and components designed to drill in tough ground conditions.

Features

Fit in congested jobsites

The D24 is 56 in (142 cm) wide and 16,380 lb (7,430 kg), making it the narrowest footprint machine in its class size while maintaining stability for various ground conditions.

Intelligent on-rig diagnostics

Get ahead of the game with technology that helps deliver more uptime with specific diagnostic explanation and prescriptive troubleshooting steps right to the operator’s fingertips.

Easy and automated rod exchange

A single button push completes the entire rod changeout sequence, eliminating up to 19 steps, giving operators from various skill levels more time for more rod in the ground.

Drill longer in harder ground conditions

Optional class-leading rod capacity to bore further with 480 ft (150 m) of rod on board without having to get off the machine. A 45-gpm (170-L/min) mud pump increases fluid flow rate, helping you ream quickly and pull large product faster.

Reliable components

Taking a new standard, the D24 boasts enhanced hydraulics, electrical design and power train system designed for maximum reliability, all backed with an industry leading 3-year, 3,000-hour OEM extended warranty program.

100hp CAT® engine

The drill is equipped with 100-hp (75-kW) CAT® 3.6L Stage V engine. Two 800 CCA batteries improve cold start capability.

Patented, sliding, open-side vise

Minimize the number of steps to change out a rod with this patented vise design. The vise utilizes sliding, openside functionality, which allows you to see the rod joint.
