Overview Summary

The AJAX ARGO 4500 and MACONS MST 2 are both robust self-loading concrete mixers designed for different scales of construction needs. The AJAX ARGO 4500 offers higher power and larger capacities, making it suitable for larger scale projects, whereas the MACONS MST 2 is compact and offers better maneuverability for confined spaces and steeper inclines.

AJAX ARGO 4500 Self-Loading Concrete Mixer

Pros:

Offers a variety of engine makes and power options including Kirloskar, Mahindra, and Tata with a maximum power up to 136 HP
Greater drum capacity of 4.5 m³ allows for larger batches of concrete
Three-way steering capability enhances maneuverability
Higher fuel and water tank capacities (135 L and 800 L respectively) provide longer operation without refueling or refilling
Higher gradeability at 21° to handle steeper inclines
Larger hydraulic tank capacity at 800 L for extended hydraulic system performance
Heavier duty tires (405 / 70-20 MT54 14 PR) for rough terrains

Cons:

NA drum slewing degree indicates a possible limitation in drum movement
Heavier unladen weight of 8890 kg can be a disadvantage in terms of transport and fuel consumption

MACONS MST 2 Self-Loading Concrete Mixer

Pros:

Compact design suitable for constrained environments
180° drum slewing provides more flexibility during pouring
Higher drum rotation speed (0 to 22 rpm) for potentially faster mixing
Exceptional gradeability of 35% for superior incline performance
Lower unladen weight of 5660 kg makes it easier to transport and may reduce fuel consumption
Electronic weighing technology ensures accurate loading and batch consistency

Cons:

Lower engine power at 49.5 HP may result in decreased performance for heavy-duty tasks
Smaller drum capacity of 2 m³ limits batch size
Fuel tank and water tank capacities (120 L and 600 L respectively) are smaller, which may lead to more frequent interruptions for refueling and refilling
Hydraulic tank capacity is not provided which could lead to uncertainty about hydraulic system performance

Closing Recommendation

For projects requiring larger batches of concrete and higher productivity, the AJAX ARGO 4500 is the better option. On the other hand, for sites with space constraints or extensive gradeability requirements, the MACONS MST 2 provides a suitable balance between compactness and functionality.
