Vermeer SEM’s combine productivity with precision, and are built to handle big jobs in your surface mine, quarry, civil construction or site prep application.

The Terrain Leveler^® surface excavation machines (SEM) deliver more than rock-penetrating power. Comprised of a tractor and attachment, the Terrain Leveler SEM gives you the ability to choose between the chain-drive and direct-drive attachments for surface mining, overburden removal, road construction and soil remediation. Terrain Leveler is loaded with several features, including the optional dust suppression system that helps reduce the use of water and minimize the dust on site.

The Terrain Leveler SEM is designed to maximize machine simplicity with a hydrostatic transmission that provides less moving parts compared to mechanical systems. Wide track width and low center of gravity provide stability – while dual hydrostatic tracks allow for maximum maneuverability – including 360-degree counter-rotation. The rear-mounted drum and top-down cutting helps minimize machine contact with the cut material. A tilt mechanism on the drum helps manage the bench to allow for the formation of a flat, smooth floor.
