Lightweight concrete mixer truck saves nearly 2,000 pounds

Continental Mixers has an all-new lightweight integrated mixer which utilizes a proprietary high-strength steel specifically formulated for concrete mixers. The new design will deliver a nearly 2,000-pound weight savings versus comparably spec’d steel mixers. 

“With this lightweight mixer, we are changing the weight game in the mixer business,” added Guillaume. “We’ve developed a product that provides our customers with significant weight savings in a 10.5 yard mixer, while maintaining all the benefits of a conventional steel mixer.” 

These new lightweight mixers include the optional ZF gearbox which integrates the hydraulic pump in the gearbox housing. In addition, multiple barrel sizes are available to meet customer requirements. The new lightweight mixers are available on both International WorkStar and International PayStar chassis.
