The 1.2 cubic meter self-loading concrete mixer is a compact mobile unit that integrates a loader, mixer, and transport vehicle into one machine. It is an ideal choice for small and medium-sized construction sites that require on-demand concrete supply. The equipment is equipped with an integrated loading bucket (used for loading sand, aggregates, cement, and other materials) and powered by a diesel engine. Each batch can produce approximately 1.2 cubic meters of concrete, offering both efficiency and portability.
In terms of structural design, the 1.2 cubic meter self-loading concrete mixer features a narrow body, short wheelbase, and small turning radius. These customized design features give it significant advantages in working environments with limited height, width, and length, and it can be operated by just one person. This compact design is especially suitable for operations in narrow urban streets, rural alleys, or construction sites with restricted space.

Self Loading Concrete Mixer 1.2 Cubic Applications
The 1.2 cubic meter self-loading concrete mixer has a wide range of applications, covering construction engineering, infrastructure development, water conservancy projects, road construction, and many other industries. In construction engineering, the equipment is mainly used for preparing concrete for residential buildings, commercial buildings, and industrial plants. It is especially advantageous on sites where large concrete mixer trucks cannot access.
In infrastructure development, self-loading concrete mixers are widely applied in road construction, bridge building, tunnel projects, airport construction, and more. The equipment is particularly suitable for on-site construction in remote areas far away from concrete batching plants. In mountainous regions, islands, remote villages, and developing infrastructure zones, it can operate independently without relying on external concrete supply.
In water conservancy projects, the equipment can be used for small dam construction, canal lining, and small hydropower station projects. Its mobility allows efficient operation on complex water conservancy construction sites, especially in mountainous areas with challenging terrain and poor transportation conditions.
In road construction, the 1.2 cubic meter self-loading concrete mixer is suitable for rural road hardening, urban road maintenance, and residential road construction. The equipment can produce concrete directly on the construction site, avoiding quality issues caused by long-distance transport and improving construction efficiency.
In addition, the equipment is widely used in special engineering fields such as military projects, emergency engineering, and disaster relief operations. In these special scenarios, its independence and flexibility enable rapid deployment and operation without external support.
Self Loading Concrete Mixer 1.2 Cubic Advantages
- High Automation: Automatically completes mixing, transporting, and discharging tasks, reducing operational difficulty
- Precise Batching Control: Built-in digital weighing system ensures accurate concrete mix for each batch
- Excellent Mobility: Four-wheel drive design, narrow body, small turning radius
High Degree of Automation
The equipment can automatically perform mixing, transporting, and discharging tasks, thereby reducing manual operation difficulty and labor intensity. Traditional concrete production usually requires four different machines — wheel loader, concrete batching plant, concrete mixer truck, and concrete pump — whereas the self-loading concrete mixer integrates all these functions into one machine.
Precise Batching Control Capability
The equipment is equipped with a built-in digital weighing system, ensuring precise mix ratios for each batch of concrete, thereby improving the quality and consistency of on-site concrete. The integrated weighing system measures the load in real-time as materials are lifted, allowing the operator to achieve the exact proportions required by the concrete mix design and ensuring consistency between batches.
Excellent Mobility
The self-loading concrete mixer features a four-wheel drive, self-propelled design, allowing smooth operation on various terrains, including rugged or narrow construction sites. The 1.2 cubic meter model is specially designed for narrow rural streets and constrained urban spaces, with smaller dimensions, capacity, rated power, and operating weight.
Additionally, the equipment offers flexible discharging capabilities. The mixing drum can rotate 270–360°, allowing discharge from multiple angles without repositioning the vehicle, saving time and effort. The forward-tilting discharge feature ensures more thorough and faster discharge, while the large water tank design meets the needs of working in water-scarce environments.

How to Choose a Self Loading Mixer
Besides capacity, selection can also consider the following aspects:
Identify Core Requirements: A self-loading mixer integrates loading, mixing, and transporting, saving significant labor. You need to assess your daily concrete demand, site road conditions, and space constraints to determine if the 1.2 cubic meter model is suitable.
Focus on Key Configurations:
- Drive Type: Four-wheel drive provides better off-road and climbing capability, suitable for complex construction sites.
- Engine Power: The power directly affects loading and mixing efficiency, and should be selected based on workload.
- Discharge Method: 270-degree or 360-degree rotating discharge is advantageous when working in confined spaces.
