Overview Summary

Comparing the UNIVERSAL SLM-2 and AJAX ARGO 4800 presents a contrast between a more compact and affordable mixer versus a higher capacity and technologically advanced, albeit costlier option.

UNIVERSAL SLM-2 Self Loading Mixer

Pros:

Integrates four-wheel steering for increased maneuverability
Joystick loading and hydrostatic drive for ease of operation
Compact design suitable for single-operator use
Relatively lower price range of ₹ 27 – 30 Lakhs

Cons:

Lower engine power at 48 BHP
Smaller drum capacity of 3.2 m³
Lacks information on weighing technology and certain capacity specifications
Less ground clearance – specific details not provided

AJAX ARGO 4800 Self Loading Mixer

Pros:

Higher engine power options up to 136 HP
Larger drum capacity of 4.8 m³ suited for higher volume needs
Equipped with Load Cell weighing technology
Higher ground clearance at 373 mm beneficial for rough terrains

Cons:

More expensive with a price range of ₹ 42 – 45 Lakhs
Heavier unladen weight could impact fuel efficiency
Larger dimensions might not be suitable for very tight spaces

Closing Recommendation

If you prioritize maneuverability, single-operator usage, and lower investment, the UNIVERSAL SLM-2 may be more suitable. However, for higher volume projects requiring advanced technology and the ability to tackle tougher terrain, the AJAX ARGO 4800 would be the better choice despite its higher cost.
