A self-loading (or self-compacting / self-consolidating) concrete mix is designed to flow under its own weight, fill formwork completely, and encapsulate reinforcement without vibration. It’s commonly called Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC).
Key Features & Benefits
- Efficiency: Automates the entire process, reducing the need for separate loaders and concrete mixers.
- Mobility & Performance: 4-wheel drive and 4-wheel steering allow movement over difficult terrain.
- Accuracy: Equipped with load cells and digital systems for precise, on-the-spot mix ratio calculations.
- Design: Often features a reversing cab for increased visibility during operations.
- Operation: A single operator can manage the loading, mixing, and discharging process.
Common Applications
- Remote area infrastructure development.
- Road maintenance and construction.
- Industrial, residential, and agricultural building sites.
Common Models (e.g., Fiori/Generic)
- Capacity: Ranges typically from
to
per batch.
- Production: Approximately
to
per day.
- Speed: Maximum speed is generally around 25-40 km/h, making them agile on site
Common Capacities & Specifications
- Small Models: Often feature 1-2 cubic meter mixing capacities.
- Large Models: Often feature 3-5.5 cubic meter capacities, such as the Fiori DB 460.
