2025 Vermeer® Pipeline Directional Drills D550

Ultra-slow speed control technology delivers finite thrust control to optimize cutting action for challenging rock bore conditions.

Two different operating modes create smooth and efficient drilling operation.

The 111 dB(A) sound power allows for a quiet jobsite environment for your crew and helps you adhere to restrictive noise-level requirements.

With 100,000 ft-lb (135,581.8 Nm) of torque, go from the pilot bore to a larger reamer and reduce the number of passes made on a bore.

The track-mounted, self-contained maxi rig helps deliver ease of jobsites access and setup.

The vise can be positioned up and down the rack as needed when making and breaking tooling joints. Position it close to the carriage for optimal casing handling on direct installation projects.

Features may include:

  • Class-leading torque
  • Vermeer Next Generation technology
  • Real-time drilling and diagnostic information
  • Designed for challenging ground conditions
  • Quiet operation meets noise-level requirements
