Advance, a leading manufacturer of front-discharge concrete mixer trucks, has reached a major manufacturing milestone with the production of its 20,000th front-discharge mixer.
The milestone unit, a Commander Series FD4000 mixer, was built for Ernst Concrete, one of the largest family-owned and operated ready-mix concrete suppliers in the United States. With a long history of serving commercial, residential, industrial and public infrastructure projects across the Midwest and South-East United States, the company continues to invest in equipment that supports safe, efficient and productive concrete delivery operations.
The Commander Series remains a popular choice for concrete producers and contractors operating in demanding environments. Designed to tackle challenging terrain, the range is available in 10 axle configurations and features all-wheel drive as standard.
Built to deliver productivity and versatility in challenging job sites, the FD4000 is equipped with front and rear tandem drive axles, disc brakes and an improved front axle wheel cut for enhanced manoeuvrability. It has a lightweight rear tandem axle design to accommodate both super single and dual tire configurations, providing flexibility for a wide range of applications. Powered by a Cummins X12 diesel engine producing 385 hp and 1,450 ft-lb of torque, the truck delivers the durability, performance and reliability required by today's concrete operations.
Dave Grabner, General Manager of Advance, said, "Producing our 20,000th front-discharge mixer is an important milestone for ADVANCE and a testament to the dedication of our team, the loyalty of our customers and the strength of the product we have built over more than 50 years. Every mixer that leaves our facility carries decades of engineering expertise and our team members' commitment to reliability, performance and customer support. We're proud of what this achievement represents and excited about the future."
The production of the 20,000th mixer marks another chapter in a story that began almost 80 years ago when innovator Jack Willard first envisioned a better way to deliver concrete.
