Use Cases
Common use cases include ready-mix concrete delivery for large urban projects, and on-site batching for highways, bridges and large building sites where continuous high-volume deliveries are required. The truck (also searchable as cement mixer truck / concrete transit mixer) is ideal when a fleet needs high payload and reliable drum rotation to prevent setting in transit.

Detailed Description
The M3000 series is typically built on a heavy-duty 8×4 M3000 chassis offering a gross vehicle weight around 31,000 kg with a curb/unladen weight in the ~14–15 tonne range and a rated payload commonly ~16–17 tonnes, depending on exact chassis and drum choice.
The mixer unit commonly sold under the “12m³” label often uses a large external drum; note that nominal drum volume (12 m³) and effective mixing capacity (what can be carried as concrete) can differ by supplier — many spec sheets for 12m³ variants show net mixing/effective volumes in the ~8–9 m³ range, so confirm the net mixing volume you need for charging and transit calculations. Advantages: high payload capacity and sturdy chassis for stability.
