280L Handy Type - Smart Upgrade for Growing Contractors
More Output, Minimal Extra Investment
The 280L Concrete Mixer gives you 17% more drum capacity than the 240L model for just 13% more cost. That's smart economics for contractors who frequently find themselves wishing for "just a bit more" capacity per batch. Over a full day of work, the extra 20 liters per batch adds up to significant additional output without the complexity or cost of larger industrial mixers.
Handy Type Motor - Simple is Better
The handy type motor uses Direct-On-Line (DOL) starting - the simplest and most reliable motor starting method. When you switch it on, the motor starts at full power immediately. Fewer components than star-delta starters means less maintenance, lower repair costs, and longer service life. Ideal for sites with stable, consistent power supply across Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, and urban areas.
Perfect Middle Ground
The 280L sits perfectly between entry-level 240L mixers and larger 350L+ industrial units:
- More than 240L: Extra capacity for G+1/G+2 houses and commercial work
- Less than 350L: Still budget-friendly and easy to manage
- Single phase power: No need for industrial electrical connections
- Portable size: Easy to move around site and transport

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Handy Type and Staring Type motor?
Handy type motors use Direct-On-Line (DOL) starting - the motor starts at full power immediately. Staring type uses star-delta starting which reduces initial current by 33%. Choose handy type if you have stable power supply; choose staring type if your electrical connection is weak or shared with other equipment.
How much more concrete does 280L produce compared to 240L?
The 280L mixer produces approximately 180-200 liters per batch compared to 160-180 liters for the 240L model. That's about 20 liters more per batch, which adds up significantly over a full day of work.
Can this mixer run on home electricity?
Yes, the 1.5HP handy type motor runs on standard 220V single-phase power available in homes and small commercial establishments. It requires a 15A socket with proper earthing.
Is ₹26,000 worth it compared to ₹23,000 for 240L?
Yes, if you regularly need slightly larger batches. For ₹3,000 more, you get 40L extra drum capacity and about 20L more output per batch. The handy type motor is also simpler in design with less maintenance needs.
What's included in the ₹26,000 price?
The price includes the complete mixer assembly: 280L tilting drum, 1.5HP handy type motor, mixing blades, steel frame, and wheel assembly. 6-month warranty on manufacturing defects is included. Delivery charges are additional, based on actual transport cost to your location.
How do I maintain this concrete mixer?
After each use: rinse the drum with water while rotating to prevent concrete buildup. Weekly: check and lubricate the tilting mechanism. Monthly: inspect mixing blades for wear, check belt tension, and ensure motor mounting is secure. The handy type motor requires minimal maintenance.
Is this mixer portable?
Yes, the mixer comes with sturdy wheels and can be moved around the site by 1-2 workers. For transport between sites, it fits in a small pickup truck or auto.
What's the warranty coverage?
6-month warranty covers manufacturing defects in the drum, frame, and motor (excluding burnout due to voltage issues). Normal wear items like mixing blades, belts, and bearings are not covered. Warranty is void if the mixer is overloaded beyond capacity.
Should I choose 280L Handy or 240L Staring?
Choose 280L Handy if: you have stable power supply, need slightly more capacity, and want simpler motor design. Choose 240L Staring if: your power supply is weak/fluctuating, or you share electrical connection with other heavy equipment.
