Measuring 34 by 23 1/2 by 48 1/2 inches, it is small enough to fit into the trunk of a car. It is comes standard with replaceable blades bolted to the drum, while its stand permits 360-degree rotation. Other standard features on the 138-pound mixer include a dustproofed on-off switch, an improved gearbox for reduced friction operation, and also pneumatic wheels for greater mobility.

Hippo Mixer from HoverTrowel
The easy-tilt feature of the Hippo Mixer from HoverTrowel Inc. helps contractors transport and pour materials with ease. What’s more, its motor makes it a natural for mixing self-leveling materials.
With a mixing capacity of roughly 18 gallons, the Hippo is powered by a high-torque, 16-amp, two-speed motor. Both the Hippo’s drum shape and helical mixing paddle with shear bars create a vortex. This vortex provides sufficient lifting and shearing action when mixing these batch sizes. A paddle with comparatively large diameter increases periphery speed, reducing the flash curing that comes with the increased temperatures created by high rpm speeds.
