Thank Fred for the names of more manufactures. :thumbup:

There was a firm down chesterfield that built new barrells for them based in part of the old wagon work site that i once visited in the 1990s (?).
I think some of the people involved were probably ex Sheepbridge Engineering from down the road from theres as they also built mixers till the late 1970s but i canot rember what 'brand' they both were. :(
Interested in Tractors, Plant, Heavy Haulage or Steam visit http://tractors.wikia.com/wiki/Tractor_%26_Construction_Plant_Wiki
Help document every manufacturer model build, and record every machine in preservation, clubs and events etc.

Hi,
I just came across this photo. of these two Blaw-Knox mixers on AEC Mamoth Major 6 wheel chassis.
They belonged to F.W.Bowles of Cardiff who were among the verry first readymix suppliers in the area, circa 1953/4. Mixers dont come much more "Classic" than these.

RMC used to make their own barrels, mark 52 and 53.

More modern producers of agitators and mixer barrels are baryval (Spanish), Stetter (German), and L & T (Italian) along with the aforementioned Hymix and Liebherr. There are also several asian and chinese.
