Overview

No application tests a truck more than cement and concrete mixing. The L-Line mixer aces that test. Choose a setback front axle for improved maneuverability and optimized weight distribution, or choose the popular set-forward axle to meet your local bridge laws. Then choose from a variety of aluminum components for weight reduction. And to maintain a uniform load over each wheel even when fully articulated, equip your L-Line mixer with the Sterling TufTrac rear suspension.

Cab Configurations

101-inch - offering a short overall length and a set-forward front axle to help stretch the wheelbase where bridge laws govern permissible loads.

111-inch - featuring a front axle just 29 inches from the bumper and the longest wheelbase available in the L-Line for any given body length. Helps maximize bridge formula loading. Puts more engine ahead of the cowl for convenient serviceability.

113-inch - featuring a front axle set back 49 inches, for a shorter wheelbase that improves maneuverability and increases payload capacity by transferring a greater share of the body or kingpin load forward.

122-inch - the L-Line long conventional, for maximum engine access under the hood and maximum leg room inside the cab (little to no doghouse intrusion). The set-back front axle helps improve maneuverability and forward weight distribution.
