The Advance FDCB500 concrete mixer is engineered for ready-mix producers who need to boost capacity without expensive plant modifications.
It integrates easily with existing batching systems and features a 32-foot outer bridge length and a nine-yard federal bridge capacity, enabling producers to transport more concrete per trip while remaining compliant with Department of Transportation regulations, the company says.
Its reduced turning radius improves maneuverability on tight job sites and in congested urban environments, while a low center of gravity strengthens stability and safety during operation. Additional design improvements include easier ingress and egress for operators.
