The D24x40 S3 Navigator® horizontal directional drill carries on a proud legacy of reliability.

The D24x40 set the industry standard in 1993, and today there are even more reasons it’s the trusted choice to meet contractors’ right-size, right-power needs. With 28,000 lb (124.6 kN) of thrust and pullback and 4200 ft-lb (5694.4 Nm) of rotational torque — an increase over its predecessor (D24x40 Series II Navigator® horizontal directional drill) — the D24x40 S3 helps maximize machine and jobsite productivity, while class-leading cycle times help get the job done faster.
