Some more oldies from yesterday.
My last remnants of truckmixers
They seem to be under-represented on here…
Heres one from my collection.
nigel have you anymore qualbatch photos saw them often running out of marshalls glen quarry at stainton when i went with butlers drivers next door at holme hall quarry.
Mixers never appealed to me but here’s a couple I snapped in Canada whilst on holiday last month. It seems that the strange looking axle on the rear end lifts up in the air when they discharge and when running empty. I love the fancy artwork on the drum in the bottom photo. Regards Haddy, Gt. Yarmouth.
I don’t know why artic mixers aren’t used over here? I know they’d be restricted to certain sites but with a sleeper cab fitted, I bet someone could find work with one?
Heres my mixers from the mid nineties, i’m still traumatised from the “iveco experience”. kevmac47
:
The Tudor Griffiths Group run some interesting Mixer Trucks, some with personal plates of family members, “1 ESG” pictured recently in Cheshire…
Anyone got any pics of these?
Tarmac Topmix
Lafarge (Redland)
Hanson (Amey/ARC Premix/Pioneer)
Readymix/Cemex
Agg Industries (Douglas/Hartigan)
Of course…the Topmix name was adopted by Tarmac after their takeover of Hoveringham in the early 80’s, previously Tarmac had used the Redicrete name…
The independant mixer-hauliers have had it rough recently; Simon King of Chipping Norton went from 3 down to 1 and even that never turned a wheel for over 6 months 
He’s busy again now, split between Topmix and Cemex.
