Australia’s infrastructure demands are growing rapidly, especially in urban areas where space is limited and disruption must be minimised.
The Vermeer D24G Horizontal Directional Drill is designed to meet these challenges with a compact 56-inch footprint and a powerful 100HP CAT engine that delivers 24,700lbs of thrust and pullback. Its size and strength make it ideal for navigating tight access points and drilling through tough ground conditions found across Australian cities and regional sites.
The D24G features an Automatic Rod Exchange (ARE) system that simplifies the rod changeout process with a single button press, reducing manual steps and improving safety. Operators benefit from onboard diagnostics and touchscreen controls that allow for quick troubleshooting on-site, which is especially valuable in remote or regional locations. With a 480ft rod capacity and a 45gpm mud pump, the D24G supports longer bores and faster reaming, helping contractors complete more metres per day.
Noise compliance is a growing concern in populated areas, and the D24G addresses this with an operator ear rating of just 88dB(A). This low noise output helps crews meet council regulations and maintain good relationships with nearby residents and businesses. Whether installing utilities in Brisbane’s suburbs or Sydney’s CBD, the Vermeer D24G offers the performance, efficiency and reliability Australian contractors need to stay competitive in today’s trenchless market.
The D24G is also built with premium hydraulic components typically found in larger pipeline drills, enhancing durability and performance across diverse soil conditions. Its sliding open-side vise improves visibility and simplifies rod changes, while redesigned stakedowns with shark teeth improve setup speed in hard soils. These features make the D24G a versatile and dependable choice for contractors working in varied Australian terrain.
In addition to its technical capabilities, the D24G supports sustainability goals by reducing surface disruption and minimising fuel consumption. Its compact design and efficient operation help reduce the environmental footprint of trenchless projects, aligning with the growing demand for greener construction practices across Australia.
