A concrete mixer truck is a specialized commercial vehicle built with a large rotating drum mounted on its chassis that continuously mixes concrete in transit from a batching plant to a construction site, keeping the material workable until it can be poured. Developed in the early twentieth century as an improvement on delivering premixed concrete or mixing it by hand on site, the type's rotating-drum design allowed concrete to be produced in bulk at centralized plants and delivered ready to use over greater distances, reshaping how concrete is supplied to construction projects.
