The DD240T features a Tier 4 Final / Stage 5 CAT engine that meets the emission standards for engines in Europe. By reducing jobsite emissions, the new engine allows HDD contractors to take on even more jobs. The 536hp engine also brings powerful drilling capabilities to a mid-size drill to maximise jobsite productivity.

The DD240T also features a new onboard fluid pump from Gardner Denver, which has a rating of 450gpm. However, to improve the machine's longevity and increase performance and uptime capabilities the DD240T is set to run at just 300gpm. This allows crews to work efficiently without pushing their drill to its limits every time it is turned on.

Additionally, the DD240T has a redesigned cab to boost operator comfort. With an improved air conditioning system and a taller cabbed unit, contractors can stay cool and comfortable, increasing productivity.
