Putzmeister America, Inc. Announces Testing Results for Bridge Maxx Series Concrete Mixers

Eighteen months of extensive, real world testing across the U.S. has consistently demonstrated reduced pivot stress and improved stability in the booster axle design of Putzmeister America, Inc.’s Bridge Maxx Series Truck- Mounted Concrete Mixers. Following rigorous testing, the components of the axle have shown little wear and analysis has predicted a comfortable 10-year lifespan of the arm.

“The results of our testing have exceeded our highest expectations, both in terms of durability and dependability,” said Kevin Shaber, product manager for Putzmeister’s concrete mixer line. “We look forward to even more of our customers experiencing with our newest product line the expert engineering and superior service for which Putzmeister is known.”

Putzmeister America, Inc.’s two models of ready mix trucks, the Pro Series standard truck and the Bridge Maxx Series with booster axle, each offer proven durability, high payload capacity, reliable controls and ease of operation. They feature large drum openings, optional Ergonic® Mix Control, a durable yet lightweight transmission, fully hydraulic control, high-strength modular construction and large platform for increased workspace. The booster axle on the Bridge Maxx Series features hydraulic suspension powered by a pressure- compensating, variable-displacement pump for excellent axle loading consistency, reduced frame stress and safer highway travel.
