Used Concrete Mixer Truck
Used mixer with the drum, drive and chute assessed alongside the chassis. Drum blade wear is the item that most often needs money soon after purchase.
Features
- Drum interior inspected for blade wear and built-up hardened concrete.
- Drum drive, reduction gear and hydraulic circuit tested at working speed with the oil temperature up.
- Chute sections, extensions and pivot pins checked for wear and straightness.
- Water tank, pump and wash-out lines tested rather than assumed serviceable.
- Engine hours recorded because drum drive runs whenever the vehicle is loaded, including while stationary.
