This Mercedes-Benz Arocs 4136 is a concrete mixer truck — sometimes referred to as a volumetric mixer or mobile concrete mixer — a type of specialist vehicle that carries the raw materials for concrete separately and mixes them to specification on site, allowing precise batch control and the elimination of wastage from pre-mixed loads. Mercedes-Benz is one of the world's most recognised commercial vehicle manufacturers, producing heavy trucks, construction vehicles, and specialist chassis that serve industries including construction, infrastructure, and logistics.
This 2018 example is built around a Hydromix Holcombe HM12H-E volumetric mixing unit mounted to an '18'-plate Mercedes 4136 8×4 cab and chassis with a 360 bhp Mercedes engine. At the time of listing the truck has covered 109,089 kilometres. Power is delivered to the mixer unit via a power take-off.
The mixing system is rated at a maximum concrete output of approximately 50 cubic metres per hour. Aggregate is stored in a 9 cubic metre capacity bin fitted with a central divider configured in a 45:55 ratio for sand and stone respectively; discharge is controlled by wheel-operated gate controls. Cement is held in a dedicated 3 cubic metre capacity bin, and water is stored in a 2,000 litre tank. Two 25 litre admixture tanks are also fitted. Both the aggregate and cement bins are equipped with external air-operated vibrators and roll-over sheeting to aid material flow and weather protection.
Material is fed by a variable-speed supply conveyor belt into a 12-inch by 9-foot vertical mixing and discharge auger capable of 170-degree slewing, enabling flexible discharge positioning on site. The system includes a swivel chute and two 1-metre extension chutes. The conveyor system is described as friction-less, features a removable cassette design for straightforward maintenance access, and uses a conveyor chain that requires no lubrication. The hydraulics operate on a load-sensing variable displacement system, and a separate hydraulic oil tank is fitted. A wash-down system is included.
Safety and visibility equipment on the vehicle includes a slimline LED cab beacon bar, a reversing camera with a 9-inch display, and a white noise reversing alarm. The unit has been fully refurbished prior to sale: the mixer has been overhauled, both the truck and mixer have been serviced and repaired as required, and the complete unit has been sandblasted and repainted white. It is offered with a current MOT certificate. Priced at $125,000, this machine is located in the United Kingdom.
