D23x30DR S3 HDD

For drilling in rock, you need a machine that can take on the tough jobs in tough ground conditions.

  • Leads the way in rock drilling with dual rod technology in a compact footprint
  • Quiet power for operator comfort and minimal jobsite disturbance
  • Tooling options for precise steering and maximized wear life

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Compact control

A width of 55.5” (141 cm) makes the D23x30DR S3 drill 24.5” (62.2 cm) narrower than its closest competitor and offers efficient maneuverability of the machine into compact urban areas or busy neighborhoods, and convenient transportation on a trailer with other equipment.

Familiar features

Building on the dependable legacy of the S3 badge combined with the latest advancements in dual rod technology, the D23x30DR S3 offers a familiar operator experience to help crews transition to rock drilling from a single rod machine and get in and out of tough ground with precision and power. 

Optional comfortable cabin

The excavator-style cab with heating and air conditioning provides operators greater comfort.

Premium power

A 100-hp (75-kW) Deutz TCD3.6L4 engine provides power to help drive the D23x30DR S3 to its peak performance, while a thrust/pullback of 24,000 lb (106.8 kN) combines with outer rod rotational torque of 3000 ft-lb (4067.5 Nm) to help get the drill into tough ground.

Rock quietly

Following the reliable S3 sound badge, the D23x30DR S3 has an operator ear noise level of 80.3 dB(A) to help with operator comfort, crew communication, and create a quiet working environment to reduce disturbance to neighborhoods and other populated urban areas.

Tough tooling

With the two-degree bend positioned in the forward section of the tool, the new greaseable RH10 drill head offers responsive steer on command for precise installations.

Worth its weight

Weighing in at 16,900 lb (7,666 kg), the D23x30DR S3 is the lightest rock drill in its class. The lightweight design helps keep your jobsite intact by decreasing potential disturbance to sidewalks, neighborhoods and landscapes.
