A concrete mixer (often colloquially known as a cement mixer) is a device that uniformly mixes cement, aggregates (such as sand or gravel), and water to form concrete. A typical concrete mixer uses a rotating drum to mix the components. For smaller volume projects, portable concrete mixers are often

Concrete mixing transport trucksSpecial concrete trucks (in-transit mixer trucks) are used to mix concrete and transport it to the construction site. They can be loaded with dry material and water and mixed during transport. They can also be loaded from a "central blend" plant; in this process, the

Flatbed trucks and side dump trucks may not look very different from each other, but when choosing the type of truck for your business, it is important to understand these differences to make the right choice.

It is most often run on continuous tracks, but dedicated models are also produced with larg

Armored bulldozersBulldozers used for combat engineering are often equipped with armor to protect the driver from guns and debris, enabling the bulldozers to operate in war zones. The most widely documented use is that of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) militarized Caterpillar D9 for earth moving,

The Lister Auto-Truck is a small single wheel tractor used for moving light loads around factories, rail yards and similar establishments. They were based on designs originally designed by Auto Mowers Ltd and built by R A Lister and Company of Dursley, Gloucestershire, well known for their range of

Numerous detail changes were made over the years, with major changes from the JAP petrol engine to Lister's own diesel engine. The bearing ring moves over the chassis member and is no longer closed. This provides better access for lubricating and adjusting the rollers.Late vehicles were fitted with

Many differentials cannot limit the amount of engine power sent to the output shaft to which they are connected. Therefore, if a tire loses traction under acceleration, either because of a low traction situation (for example, driving on gravel or ice) or because engine power exceeds available tracti

A 6×4 or 6×4 is a vehicle with three axles, with the drivetrain sending power to the two wheel ends of two of them. [1] It is a form of four-wheel drive[2], but not all-wheel drive.In larger countries such as the US and Australia, it is the most common form of drivetrain for semi-tractors[2] and hea
