Concrete Mixer Trucks Types

With rapid development of city construction more and more relative machines have been invented. Take concrete mixer trucks for example, there are as many as 4 different types of various structures in the market.

The first type, also the most widely applied one, is also referred to as rear discharging concrete mixer trucks. As the first generation of mixer trucks, they are featured by singular function of delivering, serving as perfect delivery machines for large construction projects and group delivery tasks. Therefore, it takes up the largest share of market in practice. The second type, front discharging concrete mixer trucks, distinguishes themselves from others with unique discharging method. Front discharging enables operators to locate spots quickly yet restricts their vision field in driving, thus it’s not convenient to drive them on roads with heavy traffic. However, if used in wild area, their advantage is obvious. Another type combines functions of a mixer truck and a mixing pump. Except normal mixing tanks, they have a belt conveyor which sends finished concrete to a precise construction spot like a mixing pump. Nevertheless, restricted by conveying method and distance, they can only be used for small construction projects. The fourth type of concrete mixer trucks proves to be an improved version of the third type. Overcoming disadvantages like horizontal conveying and limited delivery distance, it is equipped with a concrete pump with long flexible conveying arm which can sends concrete vertically to distant spots. However, the extra weight of the pump system poses great challenge to energy consumption.

There is no doubt that more types of concrete mixer trucks will be invented with technological development. At present Haomei has concrete mixing trucks of 6m3, 8m3, 9m3, 10m3, 12m3, 14m3 and 16m3. Welcome to contact [email protected] for more information
