Remote worksites, difficult terrain and restricted access continue to create logistical challenges across Australia’s mining, civil and construction industries. As projects extend into increasingly demanding locations, operators require equipment capable of working independently while maintaining productivity, concrete quality and operational efficiency.

Dieci Australia meets these challenges with two purpose-built solutions: the L4700T Mixer Truck and F7000T Mixer Truck. Designed for demanding environments, both models combine robust Italian engineering, all-terrain capability and on-site concrete production in a highly manoeuvrable platform.

Built to perform where conventional concrete delivery can become difficult or inefficient, the L4700T and F7000T provide contractors with greater flexibility to mix and deliver concrete directly where it is required.

Overcoming concrete delivery challenges

​​​​​​​

Remote mining operations, infrastructure projects and difficult construction sites can place significant pressure on conventional concrete supply.

Where access is limited or terrain is challenging, transporting pre-mixed concrete from an external batching plant can add another layer of complexity to project logistics. Travel time, site accessibility and reliance on additional equipment can impact productivity and make consistent concrete delivery more difficult.

Dieci Mixer Trucks provide an alternative approach by bringing concrete production directly to the worksite.

With four-wheel drive, hydrostatic transmission and excellent manoeuvrability, the L4700T and F7000T are engineered to operate across uneven and demanding terrain while allowing concrete to be produced and placed closer to the point of use.

The result is a more integrated concrete solution designed to improve site efficiency, reduce reliance on conventional delivery methods and provide greater control over concrete production.

Two mixer trucks built for demanding worksites

The Dieci L4700T provides a 3.5 m3 concrete yield, combining a compact footprint with the strength and manoeuvrability required for intensive applications.

Powered by a 74 kW (99 hp) FPT diesel engine, the L4700T features hydrostatic transmission, four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering to deliver confident operation across difficult terrain and within confined work areas.

Its compact dimensions make the L4700T particularly suited to sites where access and manoeuvrability are critical, including mining, tunnelling, civil works and infrastructure projects.

For higher-volume concrete requirements, the Dieci F7000T steps up to a substantial 5.0 m3 concrete yield.

Powered by a 93 kW (125 hp) FPT diesel engine, the F7000T is engineered for continuous heavy-duty operation across large-scale mining, construction, civil, infrastructure and remote projects.

The F7000T streamlines batching and mixing operations, reducing the need for additional loading equipment while delivering efficient material dosing and consistent concrete production.

Together, the L4700T and F7000T give operators the flexibility to select a mixer truck suited to the required concrete volume, operating environment and scale of the project.

Built for challenging terrain

​​​​​​​

Concrete production is only part of the equation when working in demanding environments. Equipment must also be capable of reaching the work area safely and efficiently.

Both Dieci Mixer Trucks combine robust construction with hydrostatic transmission and four-wheel drive to deliver traction and control across uneven surfaces and challenging terrain.

The L4700T incorporates a self-locking rear axle and servo-controlled two-speed gearbox, while four-wheel steering provides excellent manoeuvrability when operating within confined areas.

The F7000T combines high concrete capacity with a heavy-duty drivetrain, durable braking system and advanced steering, including crab steering, for enhanced manoeuvrability across busy worksites and challenging project environments.

This combination of mobility, stability and control makes the Dieci Mixer Truck range particularly suited to projects where conventional concrete trucks may struggle to access the required work area.

Consistent concrete production on site

Reliable concrete quality is critical across mining, civil and construction applications.

The F7000T features a reinforced steel mixing drum with engineered spiral blades designed to produce a homogeneous concrete mix throughout its 5 m3 capacity.

The L4700T provides a 3.5 m3 concrete yield and is designed to deliver dependable concrete production while maintaining the agility required for more confined or challenging environments.

Both machines provide contractors with a robust on-site solution capable of combining concrete production, transport and placement within a single specialised machine.
