Vermeer has unveiled the SM55 surface miner, a compact yet production-capable machine designed for quarrying, surface mining, and civil construction operations that need flexibility across multiple jobsites. Building on Vermeer’s specialty excavation and surface mining equipment portfolio, the SM55 delivers the cutting performance contractors expect — in a more transport-friendly package.
One of the standout advantages of the SM55 is its single-load, drive-on/drive-off transportability, allowing crews to move the machine between sites without disassembly or complex permitting. This helps reduce downtime, transportation costs, and setup time when working across multiple quarries or construction projects.
Powered by a 415-hp CAT engine, the SM55 is built to handle demanding material with confidence, including up to 75-degree highwall capability. Its compact footprint and maneuverability make it well-suited for tighter sites where larger surface miners aren’t practical.
Operators benefit from full-function wireless remote control and GPS-ready technology, helping improve visibility, precision, and jobsite safety. The SM55 is designed to support consistent production while giving crews more flexibility to move quickly between projects and applications.
With its balance of portability, power, and versatility, the Vermeer SM55 gives quarry operators and contractors a new option for tackling surface mining and civil construction work more efficiently across multiple locations. Contact your Vermeer All Roads sales rep to learn more.
