In high-production jobs, contractors can't afford to waste more time than necessary moving equipment around the construction site.

Multiquip's new Whiteman 12-cubic-foot (340 liters) capacity plaster/mortar mixer is a stationary model that eliminates the axle interference on tow-behind mixers. This, along with standard forklift pockets, allows a forklift to pick up, and safely move, the mixer without delay.

The heavy-duty WM120SHHDS hydraulic mixer is fueled by a 13-horsepower Honda gasoline engine designed for use on commercial construction sites. In addition to aiding movement on the job, the mixer's stationary design means there are no wheels to work around. Plus, the unit's stabilizer jacks are retractable and height adjustable for use at virtually any location.

Standard features on this plaster/mortar mixer include hydraulic dump and wide dump lip for the simple transfer of materials to wheelbarrows and pans, a rugged, wear-resistant 5/16-inch (79 millimeters) steel tub for extended life, and long-lasting greaseable seals.

The WM120SHHDS is a hydraulic drive unit enabling the mixing of stiff loads with no belt slippage. The mixer weighs 1,400 pounds (635 kilograms).
