Sunbeam 65 vs Sunbeam 65 XL: Which Transit Mixer to Buy?

Both these transit mixers come from Sunbeam, but they carry different loads. The Sunbeam 65 carries a smaller drum, so it turns more easily in tight city streets and suits mid-sized urban and commercial jobs. The Sunbeam 65 XL carries more concrete per trip, so it moves higher volumes with fewer total trips on larger projects, though it needs more room to move and park.

If you drive mostly in narrow city roads or handle mid-sized jobs, the Sunbeam 65 is the easier truck to manage day to day. If you run bigger projects and want to carry more concrete on each trip, the Sunbeam 65 XL cuts down the number of trips you need. Since both trucks are from the same brand, parts and service stay simple either way. See the full range of concrete mixers or read our types of concrete mixers guide.
