Transit mixer is designed for tunnel work

Developed for applications where a simple, reliable and efficient transit mixer is needed, to haul concrete and download it on jobsites such as for example in tunnels, the unit is equipped with a 180 rotating operator station. It means the operator is always facing the direction of travel.
An optional hydraulically-actuated rear shutter seals the drum to prevent loss or spillage of the mix on adverse gradients. This option is a real benefit for slurry and sloppy mortar mixes, that are required for some specialty applications, like shotcrete or revetment mattress pumping.
The unit’s design is based on the well established DB460SL model, but with an extended wheel base. The DB 560T retains hydrostatic drive with four speed ranges, all wheel drive and three steering modes for extremely good maneuverability in confined jobsites. It is powered by a low emission Tier III Perkins diesel.
The DB 560T also has a 300L onboard water reservoir and pressure operated cleaning hose system for the operator to adjust water content and for washing down. Carrying capacity is 5.5m³, increasing to 5.8m³ when the optional hydraulic hatch is fitted. A ladder system similar to those used on road mixers is supplied to allow the operator to safely inspect the mix.
