Horizontal directional drill (HDD) operators can meet a variety of new jobsite requirements with the new DD600 maxi-rig directional drill from American Augers. Replacing American Auger’s DD440T, the DD600 was designed with customer-focused features for power and performance in HDD maxi rigs.
The new DD600 features a 755-hp Stage V/T4F/T3 CAT C18 engine that does not require diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). Additionally, the 755-hp engine allows for high demand loads without challenging the engine capacity. The Stage V engine classification meets emission standards for engines in Europe.
The drill offers reliable performance while maintaining a small, mobile footprint on the jobsite. The weight of the DD600 meets standard transportation requirements, meaning no special permits are required to transport the machine. The DD600 can also be transported without removing the wrenches. This machine has a hydraulic catwalk to expedite the time required to set up and teardown.
“The new DD600 directional drill incorporates many features and updates that came at the request of our customers,” said Richard Levings, American Augers product manager. “This latest drill further increases the power and performance capabilities that come with owning an American Augers drill. The DD600 is setting a new standard for productivity in the maxi-rig industry.”
The DD600 is designed for a range of projects offering operators the flexibility and versatility to tackle both small- and large-scale jobs. From compact jobsites to boring long distances and installing larger pipes, the DD600 supports operation throughout.
