Overview

Cable Controls can supply this Mixer Control Box in any volume you require. Suitable for McPhee Mixers. We can manufacture the Mixer Control Cables to suit.

On mixer trucks, a push–pull mixer box refers to a hydraulic control valve assembly that directs the flow of hydraulic oil to the hydraulic motor which turns the drum.

The drum of a mixer truck needs to rotate in two directions:

  • Charge (Mix / Load direction) → pushes concrete deeper into the drum to keep it mixed.
  • Discharge (Unload direction) → pulls concrete toward the discharge chute so it can be poured.
  • The push–pull box (control valve) controls this by shifting hydraulic oil flow:
  • Push lever forward → oil flows one way → drum spins in the charge direction.
  • Pull lever back → oil flow reverses → drum spins in the discharge direction.

Features

  • Simple, rugged, and reliable.

  • Easy to operate (just a push or pull motion).

  • Minimal maintenance compared to electronic systems.

  • Provides immediate response for mixing or discharging.
