"This XCMG 'construction octopus' moves around the streets pouring concrete with much greater precision than I can pour tea!"
What is this thing?
Have you ever seen a mixing truck that can pick up materials by itself on a construction site? The latest Self-loading Concrete Mixer Truck from XCMG Construction Machinery is like a concrete factory with mechanical claws. Look at that large bucket in front of it. It not only scoops up sand, stones and cement by itself, but also when it mixes the concrete, it can extend a pipe from the tail to pour the mixture up - no matter how narrow the area is, as long as the vehicle can stop steadily, the work can be done! Several hard brushes
Big capacity: 3 cubic meters are mixed and used immediately. It's enough to pour the foundation for two floors of a shop.
No tremors: With the One-piece Chassis Frame as the steel frame, even when driving on bumpy roads, the mixing tank doesn't shake at all. Fast legs and feet: Grabbing a pile of materials at the site, it can be filled up in just five minutes. It's three times faster than workers using shovels.
Three remarkable skills to secure the market.
Performing acrobatics in alley
We actually filmed the construction of Dongsi Sixth Lane in Beijing: A narrow alley measuring 3.2 meters wide. This vehicle managed to move sideways into the alley with four wheels. During the material unloading process, the mechanical arm passed through the eaves and smoothly leveled the ground for the west wing of the courtyard house. The birdcages hanging on the eaves were not disturbed at all.
Working as a camel in the wild
Last month, while doing slope protection work on the hills in Zhangjiakou, this mixer truck could reach places that other trucks couldn't access. It climbed up the gravel slope with ease. Old Liu at the construction site kept clapping his hands: "Wow, the wheels are off the ground by 30 centimeters! The mixing tank rotates even more stably than a top-spinning top!"
Taking a bath in rainy weather
It is equipped with a waterproof switch and heating pipeline. During the recent rainy season in the south, the workers still managed to receive orders while standing in the train compartment wearing raincoats. Old Wang from Zhejiang said, "Other equipment all shrunk up like turtles, but this one is like a duck - it becomes even more active as the rain gets heavier!"
Where would it be needed?
Market renovation: Vehicles are stuck in the middle of the stalls, watering this side and then that side.
Fence foundation for orchards: Don't damage the trees. Just stretch your arm and you can water them.
Ancient building rescue: The brick and wood structure can't support large equipment. This vehicle can climb up with its light weight.
Calculate the accounts clearly for the bosses.
Save time: One top-mounted mixing station and pump truck can work from both ends, increasing daily work hours by five hours.
Save money: By not hiring three additional workers, we can save the cost of a Wuling Hongguang vehicle in half a year.
Save brainpower: The built-in electronic scale is even more precise than the old accountant. Even a single shovel of sand triggers an alarm.
The workers have something to say
"I've had a fight with this iron monster!" Zhengzhou contractor Old Li slapped his thigh: "Last time, I deliberately poured two bags less of cement. As a result, it stopped pumping halfway and flashed the red light - well, it's even stricter than my wife checking the accounts!"
The construction teams in the mountainous areas of Sichuan were even more amused: "When it comes to this One-piece Chassis Frame, it's truly incredibly durable! Last time we slid down a slope and hit a rock, just a piece of the paint was scraped off. We went back to get spray paint to fix it and continue using it - if we had to replace the vehicle, it would have already fallen apart long ago."
Summary
This big, cumbersome machine of XCMG is essentially the "rainfall" for construction sites. Wherever there's a tough job, it goes right in. If you were to call it a mixer truck? I'd rather think of it as a Deformed Transformer wearing a safety helmet, or something like that! It's like a doorkeeper handing out cigarettes and chatting with you!
