do they use just any dump truck or does it have to be a custom truck to do cement

[cat627g]

@mike92586 The only thing custom about this dump truck that I know of is the addition of a vibrator mounted under the bed of the truck which makes sure all of the concrete comes out. Otherwise this is just a normal dump truck.

@cat627g never seen anything like that before, what are those trucks that look like a cement truck but no circle drum?????

[cat627g]

@mike92586 They are basically a cement truck but instead of the entire drum rotating their are augers/blades inside the dump body that rotate and keep the concrete circulating. Alot of the large concrete paving companies use them.

Is that a Rex Model S plant? We have the same cradle assembly on ours, and it whines like that when the bowl is loaded. We do mainline production with ours, very good plant. Been awhile since I saw an agitator mixer truck.
