The concrete mixer truck is one of the most widely used construction equipment in the construction engineering industry. T.L. Smith in Milwaukee had developed one of the first concrete mixers, symbolizing the origin of such a remarkable invention. A mixer truck classifies as an engineering vehicle, which falls into a broader category called vocational vehicles, mounted with an upper part, a mixer tank. Talking about mixer truck brands generally refers to the chassis brand, but the upper part also has its own legit logo. Today, let's talk about the top ten brands of mixer trucks' special-purposed upper bodies brand. (The order of precedence does not affect the ranking)
KYOKUTO mixer trucks are renowned for their superior mixing and discharging capabilities, ensuring that concrete quality is maintained during transportation. These trucks are built to be highly durable, with a broad range of drum capacities from 4 to 12 cubic meters, making them suitable for various construction requirements. Additionally, KYOKUTO has formed a partnership with Qingling Isuzu Motors to produce 10 cubic meters and 12 cubic meters mixer trucks, further enhancing their product offerings and market reach.
Zoomlion, founded in 1992, is an agricultural and construction heavy machinery manufacturer, and one of China's largest construction machinery manufacturers. In 2008, they bought CIFA as an excellent opportunity to expand activity worldwide. It offers concrete mixer trucks with capacities from 6 to 10 m³.
CIFA, Compagnia Italiana Forme Acciaio, was founded in 1928 by Carlo Ausenda. The company was a world leader in the industry of concrete equipment manufacturing. From the 1950s and ever since, CIFA kept developing its products, focusing on safety and technology. Based in four countries; Italy, Germany, France, and the USA, the company provides the international market with various product series: HD, SL, SLX, and RY. Their capacity is from 4 to 15 m³.
CIMC's headquarters is in Shenzhen, China, and specializes in producing mixers, liquid tankers, and powder tankers. Those body applications are suitable for large mixer trucks with more than 8 m³ and mixer semi-trailers with 30 m³. Matching chassis include Qingling Isuzu, GAC, Hino, and Mitsubishi.
The German manufacturer is one of the most famous players in the industry of concrete equipment all around the world. Putzmeister relies on its 60 years of experience in the field, supplying the international market with high endurance concrete trucks; its capacity goes from 6 to 12 m³.
Schwing GmbH is a big German name in the concrete equipment industry with more than 9 decades in the field; the company has plants in five countries: Austria, Brazil, India, the USA, and Germany.

XCMG was established in 1989 and currently ranks third in the world's construction machinery industry. It is the largest large-scale enterprise in China's construction machinery industry. In 2012, it acquired 52% equity of Schwing Group and made such a strategic development, providing higher performance mixer truck products.
The Liebherr Group, was established by Hans Liebherr in 1949. The parent company of the entire group is Liebherr International Co., Ltd. in Bulle, Switzerland, primarily doing the construction industry and civil engineering. Its product is roughly 8-12 m³.
SHANTUI, founded in China 1956, is one of the earliest large-scale enterprises producing concrete mixing and conveying machinery, focusing on the main business of "concrete mixing machinery." Its many concrete plants have set the benchmark for this field.
HAINUO primarily designs and manufactures construction machinery products, similar products as above. In 1991, China introduced a special chassis from Isuzu Japan, and Hainuo developed a 6m³ concrete mixer truck. In 1998, it produced a 8m³ Qingling Isuzu chassis mixer truck. In 2002, 9m³ and 12 m³ Qingling Isuzu chassis mixer truck. In 2010, the company successfully developed a series of products, such as a dry-mixed mortar mixing station, and entered the field of dry-mixed mortar mixing machinery manufacturing.
