CormidiThe concrete mixer is one of the most widely used machines in construction: it is from its features, such as speed, efficiency and sturdiness, that the highest quality work can be carried out, optimizing time and the number of operators.
There are different types of concrete mixers on the market. Prominent among them is the tracked solution, in which the tool is generally mounted on a wheelbarrow. What are its features and advantages? How is a tracked concrete mixer implemented on a dumper? In this guide we will find out how it works and why to opt for this solution to improve the performance of your construction company.
Tracked concrete mixer: what are the advantages?
The concrete mixer is an essential tool on construction sites: in fact, it has the task of mixing and kneading mortar or concrete, materials that will later be used for building construction. To perform its function, this machine consists of a container into which the correct amounts of water, sand, cement and any other components are poured. Using a rotary system, the tumbler mixes all these elements in a repetitive and constant manner, producing, precisely, the mortar or concrete. At the end of the process, by means of a special tipping system, the container is emptied: the material is thus ready to be used.
There are many types of concrete mixers on the market: while manual ones are used in making mortar and concrete in minimal quantities, truck-mounted or tracked mixers are more suitable for use in tight, confined spaces.
In particular, the tracked concrete mixer makes it possible to combine versatility with greater accessibility within construction sites. Among its main advantages we can find:
- – Compactness. Tracked concrete mixers have a small size. This proves particularly useful not only in improving movements made more fluid, but also in overcoming and moving well in narrow and confined spaces.
- – Speed of execution. Those working in the construction industry know that once the mortar or concrete has been made, it is essential to speed up transportation activities as much as possible to avoid the risk of material spoilage. The presence of a compact structure, coupled with the possibility of choosing between different powers and capacities, ensure fast and safe movements. It is the ideal combination for those seeking the cancellation of downtime and the optimization of routine activities, avoiding material waste.
- – Accessibility to hard-to-reach places. A tracked machine such as a wheelbarrow moves perfectly even in all those places where trucks, due to size and tire characteristics, cannot reach. Usual situations on construction sites such as rough and uneven terrain, steep inclines and environments where excellent steering ability is required are therefore dealt with without problems.
- – Durability over time. The robustness of the concrete mixer is an essential aspect within construction sites, where the machine is frequently exposed to rocks and boulders, brushwood and many other obstacles: these elements can result in bumps and scratches, which over time go a long way toward ruining a structure unsuited to the pitfalls of construction sites. A tracked concrete mixer mounted on a construction wheelbarrow made from premium materials ensures years and years of use and less maintenance, with consistently brillante performance.
Tracked concrete mixer: how to implement it on a wheelbarrow?
A concrete mixer wheelbarrow is the answer for those who are always looking for maximum versatility.
You can choose the model according to your company’s needs. Cormidi, an Italian company that has been engaged in the production of dumpers and mini dumpers for years, has designed many versions that differ in capacity, power and customization possibilities. For example, the C85 machine turns out to be perfect for small and medium construction work. One of its strengths is its particularly small size, which lends itself well to small construction sites or spaces that are difficult to access.
With the C200 wheelbarrow, on the other hand, all those companies that need a high containment capacity – up to 400 liters net – for large-scale construction are catered for. By containing significant quantities of concrete or mortar, travel between the company and the construction site is reduced, consequently also decreasing transportation costs and work time. The C200 is also perfect for long and persistent jobs: while remaining in operation 24 hours a day and seven days a week, it always manages to ensure top performance and longer service life.
Multifunctional wheelbarrows and the quick attack system
How to take advantage of multiple attachments with a single wheelbarrow? Cormidi has designed CMF machines, which stands for “Multifunctional.” Depending on the needs of the moment, it is possible to integrate not only the concrete mixer with the construction dumper, but also other special equipment: the excavation bucket for performing topsoil and earthwork excavations, the snow plow, accessories for transporting construction materials, and much more. Both the concrete mixer and all other equipment can be mounted on the wheelbarrow quickly and intuitively, thanks to an innovative Quick Attack system. In this way, a wide range of efficient solutions is available with just one dumper, ensuring optimal work in every context.
In conclusion
A tracked concrete mixer mounted on a wheelbarrow specifically for the construction industry is the ideal solution for those who want to increase productivity and decrease expenses and footprint. Thanks to the possibility of choosing capacity, power and additional accessories, the machine will perfectly adapt to the type of work performed by the company, becoming the best support in all working conditions.
