Maxon, Morooka partner to create concrete crawler carrier
Maxon Industries Inc. has partnered with Morooka to offer a rubber track-mounted concrete crawler.

A few years ago, Maxon was mounting Putzmeiser Thom Katts on tracks to allow the machines to handle off-road terrain. From that concept the company came up with the idea of mounting its own equipment on Morooka crawler carriers.

Maxons Maxcrete is mounted on a Morooka MST2500VDL carrier to deliver remote concrete or shotcrete over difficult terrain.

Hydraulically operated, the Maxcrete is integrated with the Morooka carrier with an optional operator platform on the side to power the Maxon unit. It has all the features of a regular Maxon unit except that it can deliver concrete to jobsites that previously were harder to reach.

According to Maxon, the Maxcrete machines features an all-hydraulic drive with heavy duty gear reducer. It has optional hinged solid or grid cover for easy loading, visual inspection, and cleanup.

Also, the open top allows for easy loading and clean out and the bi-directional agitator shaft allows the operator to retemper or introduce additives prior to placement while also reducing segregation in transit.
