Heavy Equipment Guide's 2024 Top Introductions: Vermeer

Quieter operation, a compact footprint, and simplified ease of use address common job site challenges for utility installation contractors. Vermeer's redesigned D24 horizontal directional drill not only checks these boxes, but also features automated rod exchange (ARE) technology that reduces the operator's workload and maximizes wear component life. ARE technology eliminates up to 19 manual steps and reduces the risk of human error. Operators can choose between 400 feet or 480 feet (122 m or 146 m) of 2.375-inch Firestick drill rod, and the D24's stakedowns feature tiered shark teeth and a rotation speed of up to 60 rpm — nearly triple its predecessors.
