D40x55 S3



Introducing a new direction in horizontal directional drilling (HDD) — the versatile D40x55 S3 offers premium performance, class-leading cycle times and a variety of drill rod options, making it well-suited to variety of applications – from long fiber shots to light pipeline work. 

With 40,000 lb (177.9 kN) of thrust and pullback and 5500 ft-lb (7457 Nm) of rotational torque — a 10% increase over its predecessor (D36x50 Series II) — the D40x55 S3 helps maximize jobsite productivity.

Features and benefits

  • 40,000 lb (177.9 kN) of thrust/pullback and 5500 ft-lb (7457 Nm) of rotational torque help operators get the job done faster.
  • Available with a range of 10' (3 m) or 15' (4.6 m) rod options — so it can be configured to the specific needs of a contractor.
  • Carriage speeds of 188 ft/min (57.3 m/min) helps contractors install more linear feet per day.
  • A 104 dB(A) guaranteed sound power level and an operator ear rating of 82.9 dB(A) makes it one of the quieter drills on the market — contributing to less neighborhood disturbance.
  • The excavator-style cab provides operators greater comfort with more legroom. 
  • The DigiTrak® Aurora™ full-color touchscreen display delivers real-time easy-to-view locate information, digital bore plans and more.
