AJAX AF 10XP vs Sunbeam 45: Which Transit Mixer to Buy?

These two mixers are built for very different job sizes. The AJAX AF 10XP carries a big 10.0 cu m load with strong water pump pressure, so it suits large sites with high daily concrete demand. The Sunbeam 45 carries a smaller 4.0 cu m load, is much lighter, and turns the drum faster, so it suits small sites and tight spaces.

If you run a large project and need fewer trips for more concrete, the AF 10XP is built for that. If your sites are small, your roads are narrow, or you are just starting out, the lighter Sunbeam 45 is easier to own and run day to day. See more concrete mixers or read our guide to types of concrete mixers.
