About this Concrete Mixer Upper Body

Our concrete mixer upper body is the drum and hydraulic drive unit that turns a truck chassis into a ready-mix mixer — keeping concrete fluid in transit. Built in Liangshan — China's trailer manufacturing hub — every unit is engineered to meet the road, dimension and axle-load regulations of your destination country, so it is legal to register and operate on local highways.

Drum capacity, blade pattern and dual-motor drive are matched to your chassis and local ready-mix specs.

Other Common Sizes & Configurations

How the Concrete Mixer Upper Body Compares

Not sure which trailer type fits your cargo? Here is how the Concrete Mixer Upper Body differs from close alternatives.

vs Dump Semi-Trailer

Mixer upper body spins wet concrete in a drum; the Dump Semi-Trailer is a tipping body for dry bulk — different cargo handling.

vs Liquid Fuel Tank Semi-Trailer

Mixer carries wet concrete that must keep turning; the Tank carries liquid in a baffled, non-rotating vessel.

vs Flatbed Semi-Trailer

Mixer is a chassis-mounted drum for concrete; the Flatbed Semi-Trailer is an open deck for containers and steel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the lead time for a Concrete Mixer Upper Body?
Standard configurations ship in 25–40 days; large-drum or dual-motor builds may take longer. We confirm the exact date in the proforma invoice.
Do you handle shipping to my country?
Yes. We ship FOB Qingdao or CIF to major ports in Africa, the Middle East and South America, and can arrange container, RORO or bulk shipment.
Can the upper body be customized?
Yes. Drum capacity, blade pattern, motor count and chassis match are all adjustable to your truck and mix specs.
What is the difference between a mixer upper body and a dump trailer?
A mixer keeps concrete turning in a drum; a dump trailer tips dry bulk out — different cargo and mechanism.
Which drum size do I need?
8–12 m³ suits most ready-mix work; pick 3–6 m³ for light chassis and 14–16 m³ for big infrastructure pours.
Does it fit my existing truck?
Yes. We match the upper body to your chassis class (8–16 m³) and mounting points; supply your chassis spec when quoting.
How is the concrete kept fluid?
The drum rotates 15–20 rpm in transit and reverses for discharge; hydraulic drive is powered from the truck PTO.
Is the mixer legal for road use?
Every unit is engineered to meet the dimension, axle-load and GVW limits of your destination country's road regulations when mounted on a compliant chassis. We confirm against your local rules.
Which suspension is better — mechanical or air?
Mechanical leaf is the rugged default on mixer chassis; air ride is optional where ride quality matters for the drum.
